Entering the TWW with BBT charts

[Cakelaur]

I FINALLY got my rise! Positive opk was 3 days later than usual and ovulation seems later than usual too after the peak! 🙈

BUT I'm in the TWW officially!! Who's with me?! I plan to analyse everything and I'll probably test early with cheapies for a laugh! No point in pretending I'll be calm and controlled throughout this TWW!!

Officially 3rd month TTC baby number 3. But had a few months before that "seeing what happens" DS 2 and DS 11months.

Anyone wanna embrace the crazy with me?!

I feel like bfn at 10dpo on frer is pretty definite! But we'll see! 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Morning 😋
@LemonDrizzle44 thanks for replying. I do have a two decimal place bbt as I read it was better for people to tend to freak out at the tiniest change... I am such a person lol.
Dont think I sleep with my mouth open? I will attach last months chemical just showing after ovulation for comparison.
@Cakelaur your not out until the ugly witch shows herself.
I also had a negative ic this morning, they showed up before frer last month. But I'm 12 dpo so think I might be out, but I will carry on testing until she shows her face lol

Last month chemical

This morning temp

@Cakelaur can you try a cb early detection?

@Tryingforno3 yes a frer but I stupidly took it at 5pm so will do another with fmu tomorrow morning

@cakelaur maybe you had a slightly later ovulation so might not show up yet?

I felt so sick yesterday that I did a test and I thought I could see a slight line so did another this morning with FMU and can't see anything so thinking it must be an evap (although it seemed to be there within the three minutes rather than after 10). AF due Monday so will try to hold off testing again unless the wicked witch appears.

Well, I'm out! AF has decided to show a few days early, that's what I get for being so optimistic lol. Onwards to cycle 11

Keeping my fingers crossed for the rest of you!

Sorry to hear that @glitterandcrimsonx I'm pretty sure I'll be joining you next month x

Ah @Glitterandcrimsonx fingers crossed for a Christmas baby!

AF got me! 😭

I'm spotting now, she'll be here soon. Good luck to everyone else still waiting x

Sorry to hear about those that are out this month 🙁 - hope you’re all doing ok.
I’m on 10dpo I think , I didn’t want to symptom spot at all but my boobs are killing me and I’ve had cramping/heavy lower abdomen feeling for the last few days. So my chart is ‘erratic’ so maybe this means not reliable?
The last 3 days my temps have been static - it’s meant to continue to rise if pregnant isn’t it? Does that mean I’m probably out too?
Attaching pic xx

@dippyegg32 did you take another test?

Hi hope it's ok to join? I've been watching the thread a few days as been trying to work out my charts, they're fairly up and down though temps are taken same time each day etc any unreliable temps are the dotted lines. My temps are always fairly close to the cover line though both in fp and lp 🤷🏼‍♀️

So my chart is all over the place! RHR is up. Temp is still up (although slight drop) didn't test this morning because I thought AF showed up. But apparently not. AF due today! 🤯

Quick question here before I stick it on another board but is anyone using any medication/supplement etc. for extra help conceiving?

NHS website says to contact doctor if you're over 35 and have been trying for 6 months, rather than a year for those under it.

I don't know if there is much they could do for us, given we have one DD already, under normal circumstances, and given the current climate I'm loathed to bother them just now for this type of problem but that's been 6 months and nothing has stuck.

We will keep trying and using the CB monitor as I did feel we hit the ovulation dates a bit better this month but any advice would be great!

@ContadoraExplorer

Definitely worth getting help. We went recently and like you, already have children so wouldn’t qualify for IVF but are being offered other investigations anyway to see if there’s anything causing us to not conceive.

@ContadoraExplorer I'm taking pregnacare conception, ubiquinol, b6, b complex, vit d, epo, vit c plus pomegranate juice and fresh pineapple chunks with the core at the right times lol I've just had tests with that docs for progesterone, oestrogen, fsh, Lh and iron levels too and speaking to them on Monday about an afc and amh you can still be checked and referred for fertility reasons if you have children just not entitled to ivf in most areas

AF got me... 4 days early!! I’m never early 😔. Gutted.

Happy Mother's Day every one!!!

@ContadoraExplorer we will be contacting our gp if no joy next month!! We're not taking any supplements. But I might start a pre natal vitamin. I'm gonna cut booze and seriously reduce caffeine to see if that helps.

How's everyone else doing??

I've still not got AF! But did frer this morning at 12dpo and it's stark white negative!! So I guess it's just a matter of time. Was due yesterday! 🤷‍♀️

@SlothMamaToBe sorry lovely!! What a shit way to start Mother's Day!

don't know what's going on with me. Some tests faintly positive frer negative but I think it's a dodgy pack as already had a line before I even did a wee. Temp has risen today to highest of my cycle but just feel af will come. 12dpo

The bottom cheapy is tap water btw!

Thank you @Cakelaur - even worse I have to go to work today too 😔. I was feeling so hopeful this month, I just don’t know why it’s not happening for us. Got my first blood test coming up soon so maybe will provide some answers.
Happy Mother’s Day 💐 everyone too .
@dippyegg32 you’re not out til you’re out... frustrating not to have an answer though - is AF late for you yet?
