BBTing our way to a BFP in August 🎉

[Hotmalibu94]

Hi all!
My body has begun a new cycle in its quest to torture me with cycles that are getting a day longer at a time 😅 so I thought I'd see if anyone wants to join me in BBT charting this month!

DH and I are currently TTC #1, we started in June so are on CD1 of cycle #3 now and I wanted to start doing something a bit more to track without feeling like I'm constantly peeing on some kind of stick 😂 I've previously tried charting in April and May to prevent pregnancy but I hadn't quite got the hang of it yet so the charts were a bit all over the place. My chart since restarting BBT on Sunday already seems a lot more stable than it was last time so hopefully it'll give me some more info this time!

Please feel free to say hi below and introduce yourselves 😊 looking for as many friends as possible in this crazy world of TTC 💕

Hiya 👋🏻 DH and I are TTC baby #1. Started in late May and I had a chemical in June after cycle #1. We are on cycle #3 now (currently in TWW) and I have been tracking BBT and found it to be really helpful!

sending love and best wishes to all 💖

@Hotmalibu94 Hi! 😊 I am also starting to track BBT this month. I’ve been tracking LH so far, but I’m not convinced how accurate it is.

CD5, cycle 9. It took 4 months with our first DD, so this is a bit longer than expected!

Hi @CatLadyH 👋 we meet again!

Hi @CatLadyH! Would you mind sharing your chart? I find them so interesting and it's good to see what it's meant to look like, as I say mine were pretty all over the place 😂 how many DPO are you? When are you going to test? 😁

@FoodFann hi! It'll be good to see how our charts go this month! I'd love to be able to pinpoint O day, my Natural Cycles app has finally cottoned on to the fact my cycles are approx 27 days instead of 32 so I can take the estimated o date a bit more seriously now 😂 Flo has given me an estimated o date of CD13 and NC is giving me an estimation of CD15 so keen to cover all the bases with DTD on these days 😂

These are my charts for the first two cycles I tried to monitor BBT Vs the start of my current chart, it already looks so much more stable 😂

@Hotmalibu94 which app are you using?
I have the Premom app. So if I don’t get my BFP this month then I’ll be joining in with BBT charting too

Hey @Ncl31 I still have my fingers crossed for you this month though 😅 but I use Natural Cycles

Hiii, im going to follow this thread too! My periods should be starting tomorrow so it will be my CD1.
Im ttc baby #1 too, although i cba checking my bbt tbh but I am going to be doing ovulation tests. @Hotmalibu94 we might end up in our 2ww at similar times as our cycle is starting around the same too 🙈

@Hotmalibu94 ill update you when I know more

Hey @Huriya welcome to the thread! Haha no worries if you're not doing BBT, the more the merrier 🎉 I cba to do the LH tests haha we all have different preferences don't we! Have you been TTC for long? AHH exciting! I love having someone who matches up fairly closely, makes it more fun symptom spotting together 😂

@Ncl31 please do! I'll be sticking around the other thread keeping an eye out 😁

@Hotmalibu94 I will posts a screenshot of mine so far tomorrow. I’m using the flo app to track.

hey @FoodFann 👋🏻🤩

@CatLadyH how do you log it on Flo? I can find the way to look at charts but I can't figure out how to put my temperature in!

@Hotmalibu94 you have to log it in the symptoms section of each day circled in green then scroll down to the bottom for BBT.

@CatLadyH thanks for that! So weird but it's not on mine, and my symptom section looks different. I saw online apparently they removed the feature!

@Hotmalibu94 it could be because I’ve got the premium version of the app? Seems a silly feature to take away though.

So girls, what exactly am I looking for? How much of a dip is a dip? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Maybe I should start LH tracking now too? Day 6 🧐

LH tracking at the same time may help, I didn’t catch my surge this month but it’s given me a good indication with bbt when I think I’ve ovulated x

@CatLadyH I have premium too! How strange 🧐

@FoodFann from what I've read it's very slight! Maybe do the baby dance just in case 😂 or start tracking LH.

I've been examining my Flo and my natural cycles apps this morning and it looks like natural cycles is more likely guessing where my ovulation is and I think Flo had been telling me I was ovulating about 7 days before I actually was 🥲 natural cycles predicated ovulations for the last couple of months ties up with more EWCM but because Im stupid I believed Flo when it told me I'd likely ovulated 7 days earlier 😂🤦‍♀️

Ive been trying on and off but fully going to try on this cycle. I feel like im ready to be a mamma more than anything now.
Deffo does itl help the 2 weeks go by quicker 😁. Im hoping there will be a few of us in the 2ww ready to pop out spring babies nxt yr 🙈

@Huriya ahhh exciting times for you! Yeah definitely, it's so good to have people to share the TWW with but hopefully we can have a few BFPs on this thread too 💕

Hi all! How are we getting on this month?

@CatLadyH how is your TWW going? When are you going to test?

@FoodFann any signs of ovulation yet?

@Ncl31 how are you getting on? Still keeping my fingers crossed for you to get a BFP before you officially make it onto this thread 😅💕

@Huriya hey lovely, did your AF arrive in the end?

I'm on CD4 so AF will be coming to an end today or tomorrow hopefully and then the race is on to find o day 😅 I'm trusting Natural Cycles app more than Flo and NC is telling me I'll be ovulating around the 10th August so still a little way to go, but I am thinking of trying to make sure we cover every other day/every three days in the run up to the fertile window and then every day from the 7th until after I've confirmed o day. I've realised I would be testing near our first wedding anniversary this month so fingers crossed for a BFP to make it all the sweeter 🥲

@Hotmalibu94 still stark white BFNs on IC.
Ive woken up this morning feeling like AF is imminent. I have a feeling I’m out this cycle.

Ahhh @Ncl31 I'm sorry. Rest up with lots of snackies and then onto the next cycle 💕
