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 😊

@Ttcsecond yippeeeeee for you!! Did you have a temp drop or not?

I did an OPK and it's negative but two months ago my peak didn't come til 11am so I'm going to keep testing throughout the day and hope for the best 🤞🏼 keep me updated xx

@Angelselevenx definitely got my peak on a test I just took. Almost in the TWW. Have you taken any more tests today?

my temperature went up a tiny bit today compared to yesterday but my sleep hasn’t been as great this week so don’t know how accurate it’s been. Xx

@Ttcsecond eeeek yay!!!! Are you planning on DTD tonight/tomorrow?

I've taken a few more OPK and they all seem negative at the moment 😔 hoping it'll just be a late surge tonight but I'll keep testing because why not 🤣 xx

@Angelselevenx Will DTD today and then Sunday I think.

No harm in keeping testing. My LH test last night was a little darker so thought the surge might be today. Hope it’s later today but if not tomorrow for you. Are you still doing SMEP? Xx

@Ttcsecond yay I'm excited for you.

I have had a late surge late afternoon/evening before so maybe it might be a late one/tomorrow 🤞🏼.

Sort of but we've ended up just DTD nearly every day minus a few but going to try to do it tonight until Sunday so if it does happen this weekend I'm covered xx

@Ttcsecond still no positive OPK for me, here's my two graphs, the one with the blue line is last months and the other is this months. I've had the dip and then the slow rise again same as last month but still no + OPK!! 😩 xx

Morning @Angelselevenx

Dont stress. I don’t think you’ve ovulated yet. Lots of things can impact your temperature and it’s not been drastic changes. I think your peak is just around the corner.

I’ve attached my graph from this month and you can see it’s not really telling me much! Started it rise a bit a couple of days ago before ovulation. I’ve had to mark todays temp as abnormal or it says my ovulation was yesterday which I know it wasn’t. My LH tests this morning was still high. Xx

Morning! @Ttcsecond oooh okay! I do think my LH tests are getting slightly darker today, I've just done another one and it's ever so slightly darker than earlier this mornings.

So it looks like you might be ovulating today/tonight do you think?

I'm going to keep testing as the day goes by and hope it gets darker by this eve 🤣 xx

@Ttcsecond I think I'm about to hit peak!!! omg what a relief haha

@Angelselevenx
oooo yes I would say so too! Yay, excited for you!!

I would normally say I’d be ovulating today but never had a peak this long before. I’ll take another test in an hour or so to see if it’s come down. Maybe it’s all the vitamins. Xx

@Ttcsecond never been so happy to see it get darker haha.

Yes it might be! Although my peak normally lasts about 24 hours or so, it definitely did the last two months anyway xx

@Ttcsecond morning lovely, I hit peak last night and still at peak this morning so looks like mines a long surge as well. Do we take it from first peak or when it goes down again? Going to DTD again tonight anyway incase it's today xx

@Angelselevenx morning. Giving yourself the best chance there. I don’t know they answer to that question, tried to Google it but couldn’t find the answer. How are you feeling?

My OPKs are back low and my temp went up today so think I ovulated yesterday. Didn’t have a chance to DTD yesterday and don’t know if today is too late. I felt a bit crampy and not myself yesterday, I wonder if that was ovulation pains.

Now we’ve just got the dreaded two week wait 🤣. Xx

@Ttcsecond I hit peak again this morning but DTD last night and going to try again tonight too.

Eek yay you've had it confirmed, I'd be DTD anyway 🤣🤣. My temps risen slightly but this happened last month then it shot up the next day.

I had quite a lot of ovulation pain yesterday too but LH are still high at the minute so think it must just be the ovaries preparing to eject 🤣🤣.

At least we're in the TWW together before we drive ourselves insane! Xx

@Ttcsecond who knows what's going on here 😅 my temp stayed almost the same and I had peak like LH tests last night and first thing this morning then by 10am my LH had dropped right down to barely noticeable. Do you think I Od overnight or today?

How are you doing? Xx

@Angelselevenx

Ooo tough one. The lines on the test from 23rd look the darkest to me. I would say ovulation day is today. Hopefully you should get a bit of a temp rise tomorrow.

I’m ok thanks. My temp is pretty much the same as yesterday. Didn’t get to DTD yesterday so hopefully the others times were enough. Going to keep myself busy this week to distract myself.

How are you? Xx

Morning @Ttcsecond you were right, temp raised today so I think I'm now 1DPO maybe? 🤣

I'm sure you're completely covered when you managed to DTD. Are you 3DPO now? How are you feeling? Xx

Morning @Angelselevenx
Yeah that looks like 1dpo to me, exciting!

My temp is all over the place. I had to put todays and abnormal otherwise it’s putting me a 4dpo rather than 3dpo. It slightly dropped today but looking back at the last few months I think my temp has done the same thing around this time and it wasn’t a huge drop. I did get a great nights sleep last night so maybe that played a part.

Feeling no different atm. Last month I started feeling a bit pregnant around 7dpo so we shall see. Only thing is my jeans a a little looser from the running 🤣. How are you? Green juicing still? Xx

@Ttcsecond finally joining you in the TWW then! 😄 I managed to get another bd in last night now that's me done for a month 😅.

Oh really that's frustrating, they do say if you sleep differently it can impact your temp so that makes sense if you slept better last night.

Eek 3 days to go for you then, are you planning on testing early? Oh wow well done you! On and off green juicing (that lasted long 🤣), still eating reasonably healthy with all my vitamins etc included so keeping my fingers crossed.

Last month around the time of what would've been implantation I was really dizzy at the gym so I'll be keeping an eye out for that although trying to not symptom spot, probably won't last very long.

I do keep (and I had this last month) getting twinges in my ovaries. Do you get that? Xx

@Angelselevenx wow are a BD machine 🤣🤣. Definitely due a well earned rest now.

I’ve got an event of go to on Sunday when I should be 8dpo. So I don’t know whether to do a FRER then and if there’s a hint of a line then drive. Or if nothing relax and have a drink (like a glass of wine not loads). I did want to wait this month til at least 10dpo originally. Are you still planning on waiting until the wedding you’ve got?

I had some twinges on Sunday but not much since then. Xx

@Ttcsecond it was an effort to get it done again 😂.

That's a good idea, hopefully something shows although 8dpo is still early so even if you do have a glass I wouldn't worry!

Yeah, so I'll be 13dpo when AF is due (7th April) but think I'll test 11dpo which is 5th April then I can work out what to do.

Yeah I've had some twinges today, I don't know whether to try for one more BD as it's the day after O but hopefully last night would cover me if the egg came out yesterday afternoon 🤷🏽‍♀️ xx

@Angelselevenx I think you’re covered so don’t force yourself if you don’t want to.

Yeah you’re right about it being early. Maybe I’ll just not test and wait it out like I wanted to. I say this now but I have no self control 🤣.

AF due on the 7th for me too! Xx

@Ttcsecond I think I'd just be doing it for the sake of it to be honest so I'll probably skip tonight unless the OH tries 😂

That's some good willpower you've got there, I know full well come this time next week I'll be itching to test! 😅

No way, pleaaaase let that be a sign! 🤞🏼 xx

Morning! @Ttcsecond temp jumped up this morning so I'm taking it as 2dpo today, eek 😅. Hope you're doing okay xx

Morning @Angelselevenx

That’s a great temp jump! Mine went up again today but it keeps changing my ovulation date on my app which is annoying. So started using fertility friend along side it my other app for the graph.

It’s nice not having to think about any tests atm and whether I’ve drunk too much water so will be diluted etc.

First few days after ovulation have gone quite quickly so hoping the rest of the week does too. How are you finding it? Xx
