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 😊

@Angelselevenx would you temp usually have dropped by now? It’s still high isn’t it.

I’m ok thanks. Took a FRER today, it’s not any lighter. But not sure how much darker it should be. I think I need to get a clear blue weeks one. Xx

@Ttcsecond I honestly don't know, I assume it would be dropping if AF was coming but who knows, last cycle was messed up and I spotted for 3 days before AF and the month before was the CP so was still high.

Yay I'm so happy for you 🥰 do you have any photos of them next to each other? Good idea getting the CB weeks one, maybe get a pack then you can take another in a weeks time xx

@Angelselevenx It seems like the B6 is helping with lengthening your luteal phase doesn’t it.

Got the a two pack of the digitals and took one which was positive. Still refusing to believe it atm though. And attached a pic of the FRERs. Definitely a stronger line than 10dpo but not much different between 11 and 13. But 11 is a few days old and very dry now. What will be will be I guess. Maybe the pre seed stuff actually worked. Xx

@Ttcsecond yay!!! That looks like a good line for 13dpo for me 🥰 I think the 11 & 13 has a good difference, don't forget hcg takes 2-3 days to double so I think you're in a good place. I'm sooo happy for you, congratulations lovely 😊.

Off to go buy preseed for holiday 😅 xx

@Ttcsecond yeah I think it is lengthening my LP which I'm happy about but hope it doesn't make it too long, I'm 12dpo now and unless i come on later I've never had a 12 day LP!

Hoping I actually come on today though cause it'll be eating into my holiday having a period! Xx

@Ttcsecond me again, which pre seed did you get? The first response one or conceive plus? Xx

@Angelselevenx

thank you. I’ll keep you updated. Deduced not going to tell my partner until I get 2-3 on the clear blue.

maybe don’t take the B6 tomorrow to encourage AF?

I got this one. I do warn you though, not the most romantic thing to do! Xx

@Ttcsecond good idea, when will you take your next digital?

I was thinking that but just googled and it says it's about stabilising hormones so maybe it's a good thing my LP has been lengthened?

Haha, I've ordered it thank you! I told my OH and he said it's going to be like throwing a sausage down a hallway LOL the things we try hey! xx

@Angelselevenx
Hahaha. What a mental image! I used less than the suggested amount.

It is a good thing for sure. Guessing you’ve not had any spotting thing time either.

I'm thinking Friday or Saturday for the next digital. As should be 4 weeks and 3 or 4 days so hopefully would have progressed. Not feeling that positive atm though after what’s happened before xx

@Ttcsecond haha I think I'll have to as well!

Nope nothing, hoping it doesn't take too long though as I'm on CD32 now. And go on holiday tomorrow. Back for 3 days and then holiday again for another 10 days and don't want to be bleeding the whole time!

Good idea waiting til the weekend, do you have anymore FRER to use over the next few mornings? I know it must be difficult I'd be the same, but this mornings FRER looks really good, don't know about you but mine never got that strong so that's a positive sign! Xx

@Ttcsecond I may just stop taking all vitamins you know and just start folic acid and nothing else. See what happens then xx

@Angelselevenx

I hope you have a wonderful holiday. And then a brilliant second holiday! I hope AF comes soon and is shorter for you.

Yes folic acid is the most important one. Next important I think is vitamin D but you should be getting more of that from the sun in summer anyways.

I’ve got one more FRER so might use that one on Wednesday and see how the line looks. It gets quite addictive taking tests.

xx

@Angelselevenx
Cheap strip test was super light this morning. Trying not to over think it. But fearing it’s happening again xx

@Ttcsecond oh hun, do you have any photos? Have you done an FRER? Xx

@Angelselevenx
Ive saved the FRER for tomorrow. This is the test. It’s not a sensitive one though (25mi). I did the same test with SMU yesterday which was a lot darker but Mary be because it was SMU? Xx

@Ttcsecond it could be because they aren't as sensitive, so you have any early ones left that are 10 miu/ml? Xx

@Angelselevenx no only the FRER and the two shops I’ve been to this morning on my way to work don’t have the early ones. Got a couple of clear blue rapid detection ones so will use one of them for SMU. Stomach is in knots and don’t know if that’s because I’m scared or AF xx

@Angelselevenx
This is the clear blue I just took. It’s positive but got nothing to compare it to.

how are you doing? Ready for holidays? Xx

@Ttcsecond that's definitely positive. How many dpo are you now? Hopefully you'll be able to see a clear difference with the FRER when you do it. How do you feel?

Yes ready to go! Just about to leave for the first one, got preseed arriving ready to pack for my next holiday next week too! 🤣🤣 xx

@Angelselevenx
I’m 14dpo. I should stop googling as everyone else’s tests look stronger than mine. I’m tried and boobs are sore but apart from that and the worrying I’m all good.

Hope you have the best couple of days away 😀. Thanks for reading my neurotic posts over the last few days 🤣xx

@Ttcsecond definitely stop googling, it'll drive you insane! You don't know when you implanted either. Keep me updated with any tests you do over the next few days.

Thank you! Don't be silly, I'll be the same when it happens for me 😅 xx

@Ttcsecond morning! How's your tests looking this morning? Xx

Morning @Angelselevenx
Not great. Either same as or lighter than 13dpo. I’m trying not to panic. Would have thought I would have close to a dye stealer by now. My boots ones got darker from 12dpo to 14dpo so maybe it’s ok. Will take another boots one tomorrow.

how’s the holiday? Xx

@Ttcsecond that still looks like a good strong line, when would AF be due or has it already not shown up? 🤞🏼 no bleeding is a good sign.

Do you have any photos of the boots ones?

It's lovely thank you, haven't even bothered temping just so I can relax and forget about it for a few days. Will definitely temp when I'm on holiday with my OH next week though so I can see when O is. Did you use preseed every time in your FW? Don't know whether to just use it from my temp dip and the next two/3 days afterwards xx

@Angelselevenx AF was due yesterday. No bleeding and boobs very sore. I do feel pregnant but just don’t think it’s going to stick. Added boots picture.

no I only used it twice over the most fertile days. Glad you’re managing to relax and enjoy yourself xx
