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 I always caved early too but the chances of getting a positive at 8dpo is so tiny. Do you have any symptoms? My first symptoms was sore boobs but at the sides which confused me as I thought maybe I’d just been dancing too much and pulled a muscle!

I’m alright. Finally asked the doctors for some sickness medicine as couldn’t cope with the nausea anymore. Made me feel a bit whoozy but think they are helping. Also none of My clothes fit as just been eating beige food! Xx

@Ttcsecond I know I told myself I wouldn't test either 🤦🏽‍♀️ hmm other than tiredness, but of nausea and I've had cramping since 3DPO on and off but that's all. Which makes me think AF is on her way on Friday. Funny you say that I did think my boobs hurt when I was in the shower this morning but thought it was just from me running and I hadn't secured them enough 😂.

Oh no have you been getting it quite bad? That's good they've given you some meds, hopefully it means you'll be able to eat anything other than beige (although I do love beige food) xx

@Angelselevenxhaha. fingers crossed it’s not just form running!

Yeah it’s just been constant feeling like I’ve got motion sickness. I’ve only been physically sick twice but lots of running to the toilet retching and I’ve been working at home a lot because I couldn’t face going into work. Managed to cook pasta bolognaise for tea with lots of veg and eat it which is a win. Xx

@Ttcsecond AF came a day early for me, making my LP 10 days so I've called the doctors as I'm on cycle 7 now and wondering if I have low progesterone or if there is something going on with my hormones in general. Hope you're doing okay xx

@Angelselevenx I’m sorry to hear that 😣. Glad you’ve ringing that doctors. They should be able to do a blood test for progesterone shouldn’t they. And I know you can pay for my privately to but best to get for free if you can. I hope you get some answers soon.

I’m ok thank you. Got my repeat scan today and the meds have lessened the sickness a bit. Xx

Hope you’re ok @Angelselevenx xx

@Ttcsecond hey! I was thinking of you the other day, I've got bloods being done next cycle at the doctors for standard hormone levels etc. how are you doing? I haven't tracked at all this month so I've no idea when I ovulated xx

@Angelselevenx That’s great that they’re doing tests for you and fingers crossed you get some answers. I think TTC can be some consuming especially temping and everything, hopefully you feel like you’ve got a bit of your life back atm.

I’m ok thanks. Had either food poisoning or norovirus this week which wasn’t fun but feeling myself again now. Xx

@Ttcsecond I agree, I seen a post on here the other day around how even in healthy couples it can just take a while because not every sperm or egg is perfect. Do you find b6 helped you? I'm not sure whether to start that again.

I'm hoping everything comes back normal but at least if something shows it can be rectified. I really do feel like that, I feel like I'm just leaving it for fate, if it's meant to be it'll happen.

Oh you poor thing, glad you're feeling a bit better now. How have your symptoms been pregnancy wise? How many weeks are you now? Xx

@Angelselevenx oh yeah it’s normal for it to take a year. I hope they come back normal for you too but will be good to know for sure.

Symtoms now are still feeling sick occasionally but I’ve been able to start running again recently which I’m so happy about. Felt like a blob just sitting eating and feeling like crap. I’m 15+3 now. My due date moved to the 13th feb at my repeat scan so now is bang in line with when I ovulated so baby has all caught up. I keep feeling tickles which could be the baby moving but who knows. Xx

@Ttcsecond hey, how're you doing? Sorry I didn't reply I've been having some time off MN.

Blood test was meant to be this morning which should've been CD3 but AF is late, cycle hasn't been 33 days in over 5 years lol and typically this month it is, i think I ovulated late which has pushed my cycle back but my LP is currently at 11 days. However.. LP has never been longer than 11 days so I'm expecting AF to be here tonight. BFNs so far so it's not that xx

Hi @Angelselevenx
It’s always the way isn’t it, late when you don’t want it to be. Hoping AF turns up for you tonight or have a very good reason for being late! Are you back taking b6? Do you have to track this month to time your blood tests?

I’m ok thanks. Still feel sick. Went home early on Thursday as felt ill and was sick within one minute of being home and then had a two hour nap.
Xx

@Ttcsecond always the bloody way. I'm 11dpo now though so if it was pregnancy related I think it would show, but let's see what tonight brings. I have actually started taking b6 again but just that and folic acid.

I'm going to try to remember to temp this month as well and going to order the hertility testing kit for next cycle too.

Oh you poor thing 😔 hope it eases up for you soon. How you feeling this week? Xx

@Angelselevenx yeah hopefully tonight will give you some answers. Not heard of the hertility tests.

I feel ok in the morning and then worse as the day goes on. I’m eating but there’s no food that really gives me joy if that makes sense. Going on holiday in a couple of weeks so hoping it’s better by then so I can enjoy it more. Have you got anymore holidays booked? Oh and did get tour
money from the trial thing in the end? Xx

@Ttcsecond hope so, few hours til bed and that's when it normally shows so let's see... it's just an at home blood test that shows your egg reserve etc, all the fertility hormones.

That sounds rubbish, not even a McDonald's!? 🤣 oh lovely where are you off to? No more holidays booked 😔. I did! £50, not sure if it was worth the ballache of pissing in a cup everyday tho and having to send them off every 10 days xx

@Angelselevenx
No not even McDonald’s! I’m searching for that one food that tastes amazing 🤣. We’re off to Spain for 6 nights.

did AF arrive? Xx

@Ttcsecond oh amazing! Enjoy 😊

It did, this morning 🙄. Managed to get another blood test though so rebooked for CD3 & ordered the hertility tests as well so at least I may get some answers soon xx

@Ttcsecond how're you doing? 16 weeks now? 🥰 xx

Hi @Angelselevenx
I’m ok thanks. 18 weeks today. Still not feeling solid movements which has me slightly worried but trying to relax as it’s still early. Sickness has improved though which is a bonus. And have refound my love for cheese 🤣

how are you? Did you get the first blood test done? Xx

@Ttcsecond 18 weeks!!! Oh my goodness, amazing! When is your scan? Are you finding out the gender? It is still early, try not to worry 🥰.

Yay for cheese! Glad the sickness has gone, you must be feeling alot better now?

I'm okay thanks, CD8 so I'm finishing AF today. Back on b6 so I could O at anytime but I'm back temping. I did, CD3 and have my second lot towards the end of the month. Should have my hertility test results soon too xx

@Angelselevenx
It’s in two weeks which has come around really quickly! Yes finding out the gender so will let you know!

I feel so much better. I still occasionally feel rough but not everyday like it was.

That’s good to at you’ll have you test results so soon. Is the next one 7 days after ovulation to test progesterone levels? Xx

@Ttcsecond aww yay I'm excited for you. Do you have an inkling of what gender it'll be?

That's great news, glad you're feeling better!

The next blood test is 7 days before expected period so if I ovulate on CD19 I'll need to get it done on CD23, as my luteal phase is 11 days it'll be 4 days after whenever I ovulate. Hoping my hertility results are okay as well 😩 just want them back now xx

@Ttcsecond I finally got my hertility fertility results back! Hope you're doing okay xx

hi @Angelselevenx
Glad you got your results back and hope they were what you wanted!

i’m doing ok thanks, counting down the hours until the weekend 🤣xx

@Ttcsecond oh me too! Luckily they came back normal and I've got high AMH which I'm happy with. I was worried it was indicating PCOS but I don't have any symptoms of that so I don't think it's that xx
