Tracking BBT - TTC

[Angelselevenx]

Hi everyone! It's our second cycle TTC and first cycle tracking my BBT and I find it all so interesting, I'm learning so much about my body that I didn't even think of before. I'd like to see others graphs that are TTC and how their graph reflected a BFN or BFP. I'm 5DPO and temperature dipped yesterday but back up again today.

Feel free to share your graph so we can discuss all things TTC and BBT 😊

I take 800mcg of folic acid, but why did no one say that vitamin b has horrible smell and taste.

@emmatcc1 stinks doesn't it 😂😂

@Angelselevenx Yes it surprised me today it was very unexpected I didn’t think it’s gonna taste that bad but it made me gag so I’ll have to find a way to not taste it maybe put it in the middle of a grape and swallow the whole thing.

@emmatcc1 I know, swallowing a whole grape is good going!!

I've now got 6 tablets to take in the morning and I'm a wuss. I do find taking tablets with fizzy better but I couldn't drink Pepsi max at 7am to take them 😂

@Angelselevenx Do all your tablets have this taste? I’m only taking 2. One is folic with vitamins b and the other is vitamin d without taste it’s a capsule.

@emmatcc1 no they don't, just my fertility vit and vit b, the rest (coq10, multivitamin & vegan omegs 3) don't taste of anything

@Angelselevenx I’ll have to find and alternative. I tried with a grape and couldn’t swallow it so I took it with a spoon full of yogurt didn’t taste but I feel like I still got the aftertaste and I almost threw up.

@emmatcc1 could you crush them and add them to a drink?

@Ttcsecond how are you finding b6/b complex? I feel like I get a headache afterwards

Morning @Angelselevenx

Ok I think. I didn’t feel great last night but think that was because I went for a run and then ate late.

looking online it does say b6 can cause headaches. Do you take it first thing in the morning? Xx

@Ttcsecond well done for still running! How are you feeling in general?

My temp dropped right down to 36.10 today and my O temp is normally 35.95 so I hope it doesn't drop again as I'm still bleeding 😣.

Yeah I took it first thing before I ate, maybe I need to eat at the same time. This was my concoction this morning 🤦🏽‍♀️🥲 xx

@Angelselevenx

In general I’m fine. Got a busy month this month so think it will go quickly. Just wish there was a way of knowing if these vitamins make a difference! Maybe try taking the b vitamins at night so you can sleep off the headache if you get one? How are you in general?

I read somewhere that coq10 is good to take with fats so I usually take that one after breakfast.

what was your temp around this time last month? Can take an LH test to check where your levels are at. Xx

@Ttcsecond good, glad you're okay. Hopefully this months our month although as the months go by I'm getting less positive 😔.

That's a good idea, I'll try that tomorrow. I do think if I don't take them all together I'd forget 😅.

this time last month it was 36.26 and the last time it was 36.15 was CD15 where it jumped down on CD20 but I'm only on CD8 now (or so I think as I don't know if that initial spotting would be classed as period. I took an LH test just now and it's very much negative so I think it was just a low temp for whatever reason.

I'm okay thanks, feel like there's a lot of pregnancy announcements around me at the minute which of course I'm so happy for people but it does make you feel a bit disheartened xx

@Angelselevenx I had those vitl tablets in the past and they were yummy. The coating of the tablets had a vanilla taste. Are they still like that ?

@MK85 oh wow, no they aren't but I wish they were!

So I did my first ovulation test today and now I don’t know if I should log it in with our without flashlight. Also premom automatically calculated the test at 0.1 but I manually put in the darkness of both lines and it came out at 0.34. Should I leave it to the app or continue adjusting it.

Do you have any photos? @emmatcc1

It’s the same test top with flash bottom without. As I went to adjust the bottom one the app read the test line as completely white so it definitely wasn’t right.

@emmatcc1 id have that as 0.32/34 as that's low still. These were mine. I haven't started testing this month but soon as I've stopped bleeding I'll start

@emmatcc1 I don't think the numbers matter to much it's just good to see when peak is

You use the one step tests? I first bought them and then went on to read a bunch of negative comments how they aren’t accurate.

@emmatcc1 yeah I've always used them, never had any issues with them! They always match up with my temp drop too.

@Ttcsecond have you read about Maca root? Xx

Morning @Angelselevenx

Yes have heard it’s good for male and female fertility. Might be something to try next month.

Other things I’ve read about are Vitex and soy isoflavones but think they are more for PCOS.

I got out of bed today and started getting ready and then remembered I hadn’t taken my temp so quickly did it and it was very low so think going to discard todays.

how are you doing? Xx

I managed to take vitamins b without tasting anything. I covered the tablet with butter and then take it with a spoon full of yogurt followed by a fizzy drink. Worked like a charm.

Morning @Ttcsecond yes me too, if no luck this month!

Good idea on discarding, at this early stage of the cycle that won't matter too much.

I'm okay thanks, temp rose from my low one yesterday and I think the bleeding from AF is going to end today finally so I'll be starting DTD soon. I've got 10 days until predicted O if b6 doesn't bring it forward so not to long to wait. Xx
