Tracking BBT - TTC

611 replies

Angelselevenx · 26/03/2023 13:25

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
she said the doctor might get them tonight if he looks at his email but if not tomorrow. So should have both results by Thursday.

@Ttcsecond that's good! I'm really hopeful for you, hope it was just a slow growing baby who's now going full steam ahead 🤞🏼🤞🏼 xx

@Ttcsecond how're you doing? Xx

@Angelselevenx hi!
Just had my second blood test. Hoping I get the results today. I rang up yesterday for my first ones but all they could tell me was that it said normal not the number which wasn’t helpful.

I’m spotting slightly. But not enough to wear a pad or anything. Could be normal but also could be a sign of ectopic.

how’s the holiday going? Xx

@Ttcsecond fingers crossed, keep me updated. That looks a very strong line and definitely a dye stealer.

Are they going to get you in for a scan just to check baby is in the right place, I'm sure it will be though as I think you'd have more symptoms of ectopic?

Holiday is lovely thank you, fertile week starts Sunday 😅 but don't think I'm going to actually O until the day after we get back which is annoying but oh well, I've already pre warned OH 🤣 xx

@Angelselevenx

they haven’t mentioned a scan but will ask for one when I speak to the doctor.

Not long to go until fertile week then!! You’ll just have to carry on the holiday at home 🤣xx

Ttcsecond · 14/06/2023 18:07

@Angelselevenx
Rang for my results but the doctor hasn’t looked at them yet so can’t tell me them. So frustrating. Got to ring tomorrow to find out. Xx

Ttcsecond · 15/06/2023 07:55

morning @Angelselevenx
the doctor messaged me last night to say HCG has doubled, which is normal in a healthy pregnancy. And told me to please book to see midwife!
spotting got a bit heavier last night but seems to have stopped now. Will contact the doctors if it starts again. In a bit of shock!

hope you’re having a lovely holiday day xx

Morning! @Ttcsecond oh that's amazing 🥰🤍 I'm so happy for you! Hope your OH is relieved as well, how exciting for you all.

Spotting will probably just be your uterus growing etc. do you have many symptoms atm?

Thank you! It's a bit cloudy today so going to get my arse in the gym and then head into the town for a few hours xx

OP posts:
Ttcsecond · 15/06/2023 09:07

@Angelselevenx Yeah he is. I can’t shake the feeling that something is going to go wrong but feeling a bit more positive today. Found somewhere that does private scans from 6 weeks so going to book in for next week and check everything is in the right place and thriving.

no symptoms really. Slightly sore boobs and more tired maybe. But partner is still in a cast so I’m having to do a lot more atm so that could be why I’m more tired.

good for you getting to the gym on your holiday! That surely warrants a few cocktails today 🤣🤣. Are you still taking the B6 this month? Xx

Ttcsecond · 15/06/2023 09:12

@Angelselevenx
I really recommend the boots tests btw. Takes a day or two longer to an a FRER to show a positive but are cheaper and easier to get hold of. Xx

@Ttcsecond I think that's normal considering everything you've been through, good idea getting an early scan done. I'm excited for you, I'm so so happy for you all.

Oh bless him, hopefully not to much longer and you can rest!

Oh definitely! 🤣 yeah, I'm still taking all my vitamins and I've started my LH tests this morning at CD11. Still ages to go though 🙄 xx

@Angelselevenx
Random question but have you noticed more hair loss since taking B6?

I fell like more of mine is coming out than usual. Going to stop taking it now and just stick to folic acid. Xx

@Ttcsecond I don't think so but actually thinking about it I brushed a lot of hair out this morning 😅 I always lose a lot of hair though xx

@Ttcsecond Congrats on the pregnancy hope everything’s okay.

Ttcsecond · 15/06/2023 20:31

@emmatcc1

Thank you! Still very guarded about everything working out ok. Booked an early scan for next week to make sure there is a baby and it’s in the right place.

How are you?

emmatcc1 · 15/06/2023 20:45

@Ttcsecond Fingers crossed the baby is fine.
I’m feeling pretty good this month, currently 3dpo and I decided that now that bbt confirmed ovulation I’m gonna stop temping until next cycle since it makes me pretty stressed.

Ttcsecond · 16/06/2023 20:39

@emmatcc1 sounds like a good idea and makes the mornings a little bit easier.

@Angelselevenx found my test results on NHS. Shouldn’t have looked as sent me down a rabbit hole and not in a good way.
129 at 20dpo
337 at 22 dpo.
so more than doubled but sooooo low. Spotting has continued so got an EPU scan on Sunday but I think there is nothing there. Xx

Angelselevenx · 16/06/2023 20:56

@Ttcsecond I think the main thing is that they've doubled, which they have. I don't think they mind too much what the number is and just that they're going in the right direction and doubling.

Glad you've got a scan with EPU, don't be alarmed if they can't see much though, hopefully they'll see something and get you booked back in for a weeks time. Did you call your doctor or EPU to get booked in? Xx

OP posts:
Ttcsecond · 16/06/2023 21:06

@Angelselevenx I called my GP and he booked me in.

I don’t think they will see much at all. But want them to be able to see if it’s ectopic or not.

nearly fertile week for you! Xx

Angelselevenx · 16/06/2023 21:07

@Ttcsecond definitely, if anything a bit of peace of mind. Hopefully they'll take more bloods to check the levels again? Try and push them on that if you can

Natural cycles is telling me from Sunday but I've just started getting some creamy cm so not sure if it's going to come earlier again? Xx

OP posts:
Ttcsecond · 16/06/2023 21:16

@Angelselevenx Yes I will mention bloods to them.

That sounds positive. Hope it does come earlier for you xx

@Angelselevenx Just got out of my scan. They could see the yolk sack and gestational sac. She saw a tiny blob that could be the embryo. Measuring behind at 5 weeks when I should be 5 weeks 5 days by my calculations. Got another scan in 10 days. Fingers crossed it grows!

how are you? How’s you LH looking? Xx
