BBT Chart help. 🆘

[NSx]

Hi all,
I have been charting my BBT for a few months now & I’ve never had such a smooth rise as this chart, is there something wrong, do you think my thermometer is broken?
has anyone had a chart like this, is it normal ?
any advice would be welcomed, thanks in advance❣️

@NSx @MrsT8509 any updates ladies? Fingers crossed for you both 🤞🏼

@Mulner88 Good morning 💖

my temp dropped this morning- 9dpo so I’m really not hopeful to be honest 😩

how are u both doing? @MrsT8509

Forgot to attach 😂

@Mulner88 @NSx Good morning! AF arrived lastnight 😭 i was expecting it though. Just annoying after the best chart i've ever had! Onwards and upwards!

@NSx I'm still keeping postive for you. Will you test? X

@MrsT8509 I’m so sorry 💔 I was so hopeful for u and your rainbow baby, life is so cruel and unfair.

honestly I’m not too hopeful myself, I don’t feel anything no symptoms at all. And my BBT is same as last month now, same pattern - so I’m sure I’m out.
just a waiting game as I’m just at 9dpo and have a 14 day LP 😭

so sick of this, was hoping for my rainbow baby before my due date 💔💔💔

@NSx @Mulner88 how are you both? Xx

@MrsT8509 hi, im ok, just went to the cinema - how are u doing ? 🤍💞

@NSx worst period ever. So heavy, has been for 2 days. I never have heavy periods. So obviously i've convinced myself this is my body ridding itsself of shit to make way for my baby next month, you know, as you do 🙈

How was your chart today? What did you see at the cinema? Xx

@MrsT8509 that’s a really good way of looking at it. Normally I have like 2/3 heavier days and the last 2 aren’t bad at all, but sometimes it can be painful the first couple days 😭 … hope ur ok 💞
I went to see Black Adam - it was pretty good actually, OH even treated me to a glass of rosé - I normally don’t drink during 2WW but I needed it as I’m convinced it’s not my time 😩 wish I could fast forward the next few days !
my chart is pretty basic 😂 if it goes up tomorrow then I know AF is coming as I’ve looked at previous months and temp seems to increase a lot about 4 days prior to AF then gradually drop as Af gets closer 😭

Hi all, I hope you don't mind me joining this thread.
I'm so sorry to hear all of the troubles you have all experienced, it's just so heartbreaking to read. We are on cycle 9 this month and never had any luck with chasing BFP sadly. All of our friends are in their second pregnancies and I'm a midwife so it is really difficult being surrounded by babies sometimes 😪

I wondered if one of you may be able to help with my chart if you wouldn't mind. I had a drop in BBT to the coverline so wondering if that's me out again this month even with the rise this morning? I've ready about implantation dips but I've had no symptoms other than some cramping and I'm sure I've read that bbt shouldn't go below the coverline. Xx

Hi @Tbark , I've just been tracking BBT for 2 months and sometimes not too strict with it, but from looking at your chart, I would not say you are out. The past 2 months, I had x2 consecutive dips before my AF came.

How is it now? As I realise you sent this a couple days ago

@Mulner88 thanks for the info, can I ask how far before AF you experience the dips? I know its different for everyone

This is my chart today....any thoughts greatly appreciated lol.

@Mulner88 should also say I had a bloody mucous red show a few days ago followed by 2 days of minimal brown loss. Lots of twinges and heavy feelings but thats it. 11DPO and I got a BFN....I know I shouldn't have tested but I couldn't help it 😅

@Tbark It's a good sign your temps have risen again. However, you will find there is usually a dip in the middle of most charts as secondary estrogen surge happens. That saying it doesn't happen of every signle chart. There's just no way of ever knowing really as temps should be high, and dip a day or two before AF shows. Keeping everything crossed it stays up.

@NSx How are you? Xx

@Tbark I've never attached anything before so hopefully it shows 🙈 also couldn't get a monthly view but I've just screenshot the days leading up to AF. You can see the 3 days before I had the dip, especially day before where the dip went below coverline. I knew at this stage that AF was coming!!

@MrsT8509 hey 💗 I’m ok how u doing?
im waiting for AF on Thursday so nothing much to report really my temp dropped a bit today, will expect the same tomorrow and AF on Thursday if she shows on time.
how u doing?
@Tbark your chart looks good but honestly I don’t know that much, I feel like you can have an amazing chart and get AF last min 😭- I have my fingers crossed for u - what cycle is this?
@Mulner88 how are u? 🤍

Thanks @Mulner88 and @MrsT8509 that's really helpful.

You're so right @NSx thanks so much, same to you too 😊 this is cycle number 9....so not a crazy long time but my sister and best friend have just delivered their little bundles and it's just making me want one even more 😅

@NSx Not too bad. Upped my coq10 now and been making fresh smoothies each morning and trying low sugar and cutting down on meat, so doing every other day veggie. Quite enjoying it. Been on the pinapple, grape fruit, brazil nuts and kiwis too 🤣🤣 I's sure my husband thinks i'm proper nuts you know. I mentioned i was thinking of getting a ferti-lily cup and he was like 'enough, just do what you think you need to do and what makes you feel better' 🤣🤣

@NSx I'm doing good thanks! Will be starting the whole process again now 😂 Can I ask what each of you are doing in terms of DTD? Do you track with ovulation kits and dtd then? Or do you literally dtd every other day throughout your whole cycle? Normally I track and just dtd on my fertile time but wondering if I should just do every other day and see if that works 🤔

@Mulner88 we've tried the SMEP method but I can't obviously say if it's worked yet but it was a lot of effort lol. Even my husband was like AGAIN!? LOL

@Tbark yeh we tried that too 😂 obviously didn't work for us but I hear a lot of success stories from it! It's too much effort and makes it very much a chore!!

The month I did get pregnant, I did every other day during my fertile period so maybe I'll try every other day. Last cycle we did everyday of fertile period (well mostly). We dtd day before ovulation, day of ovulation and day after ovulation but not successful. So hard to know 🙈

@Mulner88 it is so much effort isn't it!!! Don't know if we would be doing that again 😅 to be fair I didn't tell my husband we were doing SMEP for the first few DTD as I didn't want him to.think that was the only reason for it lol. I've read loads that the guys struggle with SMEP as there is a lot of pressure on them to perform 🤣

@Tbark @Mulner88 we aim for every other day or as much as we can over fertile period. I use opk's so as soon as i get my peak we do that day, day after and day after. Usually. It's a lot of pressure though, so if we've done 3 times in the 5 days leading up to ovulation day and the day of ovulation, i'm usually quite happy with that. When i got pregnant earlier this year, we did PM day before ovulation, PM ovulation day, and AM day after. X

@Tbark i totally understand where you’re coming from, ttc is so hard 💔

@MrsT8509 what have u upped your coq10 to? 600? Ive started taking an extra 50 now, so I’m on 510😂 good for you with trying all that but it’s honestly a lot. I tried to change my diet and eat all fertility foods — didn’t work 😂 also this is the second cycle for me with fertilily - hasn’t worked yet either 😂😂😂 I use preseed too

@Mulner88 ive been doing different patterns each month. This is 4th month for me? I DTD 3 days in a row including ovulation and 2 days before , missed a day before and then did it then … I’ve done 7 days in a row didn’t work. 😂 did SMEP didn’t work.
funnily enough when I got pregnant in feb I dtd 2 days before ovulation and ovulation, so 3 days total.
think I will do alternate days next cycle.

Ps- I use cheap strip OPKs and also the cb advanced OPK 😂
