First time temping this cycle and I keep looking at those temps hoping they stay up 🤭🤭

Anyone else temping that's nearing the end of their cycle?

Show me your chart 😊😊😊

First month temping for me too @curliegirlie but yes I'd agree with @MrsT8509 if you got up out of bed before temping I would have thought it would raise your temp! ☺️ x

@curliegirlie did a wuick google and found this, so i'd take it as a dip, but how accurate a dip, i don't know x

@Feckingfeck this is cycle 5 for us. Got pregnant in Feb, but unfortunately lost that one at 5 weeks, took 6 weeks to get af after that, so this would be 2nd cycle after the loos i suppose. This would be our first. I'm 37 though so feeling the pressue of time running out!

Sorry to hear about your loss @MrsT8509 x

My cycles have been a bit random in the past - and seem to be a bit random a couple of cycles after a miscarriage, so I’m basically doing anything I can to try and work out what’s happening with my body. OPKs are good but only bbt can confirm ovulation. But in essence if you’re regular it’s not so vital….

I do know from last month when I tried temping for a few days before my Ovusense it was told... 3 hrs sleep atleast straight, try to take it within half an hour of a time difference each day.. don't move out of bed or speak before you take it. X

MrsT8509 · 03/05/2022 11:32

Thanks @RMS0209. It was tough, but i'm quite a positive person and after the sadness, just looked at is as a positive that we can get pregnant and as a trial run, getting my body all clear and ready for the real deal if we're lucky enough for it to happen again.

RMS0209 · 03/05/2022 11:33

@MrsT8509
What a great out look, I love that. Sending you all the luck! You deserve it x

curliegirlie · 03/05/2022 12:07

Yeah, I took my temp before sitting up or getting out of bed, but it would have been only about an hour and a half after getting back from DD2’s room, so definitely less than 3 hours straight sleep beforehand….

BBTs might not work for me this time round either, but I probably have more chance of getting more reliable temperatures now the girls sleep through the night more regularly than when they were much younger. Just have to see how it goes I guess. I just like the reassurance of BBT telling you if it actually happened rather than it being assumed or having the potential of missing a peak if OPK testing at the wrong time…

Do any of you just get to this point, where the waiting is nearly over and go through so many 'i think am' then 'no, i'm not' moments everyday!? Yesterday when i had that dip, i had cramps and back ache, all day, boobs have been hurting since Sunday, and spots, then today, nothing except the sore boobs. This ttc is the biggest head f**k! Determined not to test early either this month! 🤯

Yesterday I was 99% sure I'm pregnant, today I'm 99% sure im not..... glad I'm not the only one 😅
Need to stay off the rabbit holes
"9dpo back ache"
"10dpo migraine"
Exciting to see what 11 dpo's search will be 😅😀x

MrsT8509 · 03/05/2022 20:38

@RMS0209 🤣🤣 we are insane aren't we!? If you looked at my search history it'd be all stuff like that! It just consumes you! Luckily i'm back at work tomorrow and i'm on lates so that will limit my craziness! X

RMS0209 · 05/05/2022 07:38

How are you all?
I'm out I had some pink spotting (which will turn to AF) in a few days as per usual 😕 onto next cycle!
Just hope AF appears soon. X

MrsT8509 · 05/05/2022 08:50

Good morning @RMS0209 . I'm sorry to hear that. It's such a shit feeling. Treat yourself to something you enjoy this weekend xx

Cramps on dip day, all day, and some spotting during dip day, and it really was spots, nothing more. Sore boobs since 7dpo, but got a feeling that might be the vitamin B6. Certainly not allowing myself to get the tiniest bit hopeful yet. Xx

Anyone BBT?
RMS0209 · 05/05/2022 10:29

Hi! @MrsT8509
Chart looking good still woo hoo
I feel a bit sad and deflated...this is the worst bit just waiting for AF instead of spotting... hopefully soon, like you say I will get a lovely weekend treat to enjoy.

I have everything crossed for you this cycle! I need to see some BFP's come on you got this.

@allthingssparkly how are you getting on? Any sign of Af yet? Xx
@curliegirlie how you doing x

allthingssparkly · 05/05/2022 10:38

Hi @RMS0209 No sign of AF, I'm going to test tomorrow I think if nothing happens between now and then.

I feel like my body is gearing up for something but doesn't know what. I had mild lower back pain earlier 🤔

I'm actually only 14dpo today too, not the 16dpo I though I was! The last time I took a test was Tuesday afternoon - so 12dpo. So maybe there's a possibility implantation didn't happen till then who knows. X

curliegirlie · 05/05/2022 10:44

Nothing much to report here. I’m only CD4 of my first cycle doing BBT so it all looks a bit erratic 😂

@allthingssparkly everything crossed! Are your temps still high?

Anyone BBT?
allthingssparkly · 05/05/2022 10:52

@curliegirlie I didn't temp this morning I got up later than usual and then totally forgot 🙈

My temp yesterday was 97.31F so it had dipped but not below the CL.

I will take a pregnancy test tomorrow, I can't bare the unknown for much longer 😬

Anyone BBT?

@allthingssparkly how was your test today? Hopefully you got a BFP xx

vikster88 · 06/05/2022 09:11

34, second month ttc and first month temping/watching RHR.

I used to have a 28 day cycle but this month seems to be a 33 day cycle. Orange plus was LH surge, confirmed by CB solid smiley, so expecting ovulation to have taken place CD 20.

Expecting af on 09/05, so currently 11 DPO. Had a really big dip yesterday, which I’m hopping was an implantation dip as I had some cramping for a couple of days around 8-10dpo. My temp seems to be going back up as of this morning. Hopefully it keeps rising over the next few days 🤞🏻

@RMS0209 AF turned up last night 👎 x

OP posts:
RMS0209 · 06/05/2022 09:44

@allthingssparkly NOOOOOO!! 😡
Sending big hugs... I'm just waiting for my spotting to turn into AF so we will be cycle buddies maybe out a day or two next month 💖

RMS0209 · 06/05/2022 09:44

This month I mean.. this cycle, duh x

allthingssparkly · 06/05/2022 09:45

Thank you @RMS0209 💗 really struggling with excruciating pain when on my period so I'm patiently waiting for a call back from my gp 😩

Good luck to you x

MrsT8509 · 06/05/2022 11:26

Morning ladies.

@allthingssparkly sorry to hear af turned up and it's painful. Life really is shit sometimes. Be kind to yourself x

@RMS0209 sorry it's dragging out for you. X

@vikster88 🤞🏻 for the dip being inplantation x

I'm just not feeling it today. I hate the range of emotions and not knowing that comes with ttc. I'm looking st my chart and thinking my temps should be higher if my dip was implantation. I've got some cheap tests coming today. Told myself i would test until FF tells me to in no af, but i just know i'll end up doing one tomorrow, then i'll be pissed off all day because it's bfn!

Anyone BBT?
vikster88 · 06/05/2022 21:34

@MrsT8509 that was me today. I was convincing myself that I was having symptoms so I took a FRER, knowing it would be negative, after telling myself to wait until after af is due early next week, and it was. I was in a bad mood all day then. Not optimistic it’ll be my month due to my temps, but still holding out hope. 🤞🏻
