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 I know, it really will and it'll all be timed nicely but it's hard to see that when it doesn't happen isn't it.

Yes wedding today! Going to let my hair down and then get cracking again from next week 🤣 do you have any nice plans this weekend? Xx

@Angelselevenx

oh yeah for sure it’s hard. Just thought if we got pregnant this cycle it could be a Valentine’s baby.

I’m glad you’re going to let your hair down and have some fun. Not up to much today but got a BBQ tomorrow. Enjoy the wedding! Xx

@Ttcsecond thank you! It was a lovely day despite the weather and I let my hair down, although I can't hack hangovers anymore so I didn't go to crazy 😅. Hope you have a lovely bbq today!

When I pick up my Holland & Barrett order I'm going to swap out the 100g vitamin b6 to the 50g I think xx

Have you seen this? Xx

@Angelselevenx

No I hadn’t seen that. Very interesting thank you.

So I think will take the vitamin b6 along with my b complex. Plus stop eating Brazil nuts now and eat them after ovulation.

xx

@Angelselevenx
oh and she mentions the low dose aspirin too. I’ll take one of those before bed. Xx

@Ttcsecond good ideas. I think I'm going to add in b complex with my new b6 50mg and then get some Brazil nuts too. This is what I already take xx

Morning @Ttcsecond hope you had a lovely bbq. I've just don't my H&B order, 50mg vitamin B6, B Complex, COq10 (il be taking 150mg a day), Brazil nuts (why are they so expensive!?) and bee propolis. If you search b6 on here there are lots of positive stories xx

@Angelselevenx

I did thanks. Was so sunny and food was great. Hope you had a lovely Sunday too.

looks like you’re taking all the good stuff. I did wonder about getting some magnesium as well. I know what you mean about Brazil nuts. My partner split my over the kitchen floor the other day and I was like do you know how expensive these are! 🤣🤣.

I also caved and got the clear blue digital ovulation tests. I like know when my fertile period starts especially when my ovulation day varies so much. Xx

@Ttcsecond aww lovely! Back to the typical British weather today 🌨️.

I think I have magnesium in my multivitamin but looking online it looks like a good one to take! I'm itching to start my b6 in the hope O comes forward from CD21 😅. I know right!! How many will you take after ovulation? i don't even like Brazil nuts 😅

That's good, let me know how you get on with that. I did look at the clearblue fertility monitor but that seems excessive when I'm only going onto cycle 4 xx

Hello, which cd are the two of you. I’m on cd 4 I have opks and pregnancy tests coming in tomorrow. I’m doing opks for the first time. I’m also thinking of getting folic acid and vitamin b.

Hello @emmatcc1

I’m on CD4 too. I use OPKs and find them helpful for identifying when I’m going to ovulate. I’ve upped my vitamins this cycle. I’m taking: Folic acid, vitamin C, vitamin D, omega 3, coq10, vitamin b6 and vitamin b complex. Plus took a low dose aspirin last night. I’m rattling around now 🤣🤣

@Angelselevenx
I’m taking one 50mg vitamin b6 and then one b complex. Will up to two after ovulation to help progesterone (I think, don’t actually know the science!). I don’t mind the Brazil nuts but think you only need to eat one or two a day. Seen that you can get magnesium spray and it helps with sleep too so might get and see if what it does. I’m spending a bloody fortune! Xx

When should I start testing for ovulation? I ovulated day 11 past two cycles and it usually varies between 10-14.

Hey @emmatcc1 I'm on CD6, normally O around CD21 although I'm starting b6 tomorrow so I'm hoping it brings it forward a few days 🤞🏼. I take a fertility vitamin that includes the standard fertility vitamins (there's a photo a few messages down), starting b6, b complex, higher dose coq10 and bee propolis tomorrow.

I'd be starting 1 LH test a day from after AF finishing and then when it nears CD9 I'd be doing 2 a day to check for LH surge to ensure you catch it.

I was thinking of starting today and until after ovulation to get a hang of it and know what to expect next month if needed.

@Ttcsecond are you taking vb6 & vit b complex at the same time? Just picked mine up, I've been reading about them all day with positive stories. Manifestation and all that 😅 xx

@Angelselevenx

I have been so far unless you’ve read anything saying you shouldn’t do them at the same time?!
my b complex ones only have small about of b6 in them so assumed it was fine to do that.

Only Cd5 today but hoping we both ovulate sooner this month xx

@Ttcsecond no I havent, I've just checked online too and it says it's fine to take both but wanted to see if you were taking both too 🤣.

Yeah my multivitamin only has 15mg plus the 50mg tablet and the 10mg in the b complex it's still well under the 100mg tablets you can take.

Me too, I seen a lady say she started on CD6 and she ovulated earlier and fell pregnant the same month. I'm CD7 today so really I should stop bleeding tomorrow but not sure if I will xx

@Ttcsecond also my fertility multivitamin includes folic acid at 400mg and the b complex contains folic acid at 200mg, that's going to be to much isn't it 🫠 xx

@Angelselevenx

Mine’s the same, I hadn’t realised. Can you take too much folic acid I wonder. Xx

@Ttcsecond I'm already googling 😅 xx

I spoke to my consultant regarding folic acid, at the time I was taking 600mg and he was fine with that.
Another consultant told me to take a prenatal which has 400mg anyway and take extra folic and d on top so 🙉
🤷‍♀️ Research seems to suggest 600mg is fine and apparently some recommended that dose for women who've had recurrent mcs. Although I'd ask your doctor just to confirm as I have some medical conditions so maybe I require more.
I'm actually taking a little more than that now tho about 700-750mg daily . 400 from my prenatal and I take inositol due to pcos and it has folic in it aswell . Its hard to find it without added folic .so yeah my dose is quite high

Thank you @MK85 that’s really good to know. I had visions of trying to cut my folic acid tablets in half 🤣

I found this if it's any help

@MK85 thanks that's really helpful!

I had a headache earlier and was worried I'd overdosed on folic acid, I think it's just I'm on a diet and was lacking sugar 🤣🤣
