BBTing our way to a BFP in September 🎉 cont.

[CatiaR]

Hi @hotmalibu94.

I’m good thanks, still bfn today at 11dpo but temps still high so we’ll see what happens.

@Ncl31 how are you today ?

the other thread got full so I started a new one 😊

I’ll add now all I can remember but keep adding who else I missed!
@pinkmarshmalloww@Huriya @thejollytrolleydolly @ginny93@MorningsideMaisie@Myna13

@hotmalibu94 sounds like you’re getting into your fertile week soon so that’s exciting! Fingers crossed for you this cycle.

@CatiaR hello 👋 hope you don’t mind me jumping in 🥰 I’m also 11dpo today… super duper sore boobs, and weird hard nipples 🤣 which I’ve had now for days. I’m forced not to be able to test because I’ve only got expensive digitals at home!! not that I would normally until around this stage if I could help it!…
awake bright and early wondering if this month could be our month. How are you doing? X

@Yolo23 Hi! Welcome 😊

I’m doing ok thanks apart from slight sore boobs and feeling tired all week I’m good but so far bfns on cheapies. Still early for now tho and AF is only due Tuesday. BBT remains high for now so still very much a chance it can still happen this month. I’ve got some boots early detection and digitals too but not wasting those unless I’m actually late 😊

fingers crossed for you 🤞

I’m definitely testing too early still anyway found this website helpful and tells me its still too early as well 😂

@CatiaR were both due on Tuesday! Let’s hope Tuesday never comes and we both get our BFP on the super expensive tests that drain our bank accounts 🤣
I’ve never tested BBT and will have to look into it for future as I’ve seen quite a few use these methods. Sounds really positive still so fingers crossed 🤞 ✨ xx

@Yolo23 very much in the chance for both of us still! I’ve only done BBT and opks for first time this cycle so still all new to me but for now it’s still nice and high which is what you want to see. It will drop if AF is due

@CatiaR oh that website is very useful! I’ve just had a nose and tbh the % difference for positive test results is very small between 12 and 14dpo so I may test tomorrow and then keep my other one back until a hopeful missed period…
do you just track BBT using a manual thermometer? X

@Yolo23 I use a digital basal thermometer it just has to read small decimals like 36.88 for example so you are able to actually tell the difference. Regular thermometers would just give 36.8. Changes in the cycle are small that we need a more accurate reading.

mine is from easy@home so I use my bbt and opks all in the same place. I do use flo as well just to comapre but they are in agreement most of the time

@CatiaR thank you my lovely - I’ll look into getting one ready for next month! Really good point about the 38.66 reading etc. fingers crossed these next few days go quickly although I don’t want to wish the weekend away! Difficult isn’t it 🤣

@Yolo23 of course! Definitely want to know the results but want to enjoy the weekend 😂

work has been terribly busy so I need a rest lol

@CatiaR im fine today. Nipples are a little less sensitive this morning but still constantly erect… other than that nothing to report.
BBT remains high.
AF due Thursday/Friday.

@Ncl31 still sounds like its going in the right direction so hopefully you’ll get good news soon ! Mine is due either Tuesday/Wednesday according to premom/flo. So we’ll see how it ends up! Just sore boobs and a slight pressure on my tummy earlier just under my belly button on the right side but bfns for now.

either way won’t be long till we know the outcomes 😊

@CatiaR yes exactly. Hopefully by the end of the week we will both know.
mum back at work full days this week too, so hopefully I’ll be very occupied and busy.

@Ncl31 work has been manic lately but I still have enough headspace to think about this long TWW 😂

got some stitch like small pains in my right side tummy which now started on the left side too so hopefully positive signs otherwise imma tell my body I’d like a “refund” 😂

@CatiaR oh I’m sure I’ll find time, probably just in the evenings. This week is super busy for me though, with work and then flying on Saturday. it’s weird, every morning i get excited to scan my Ovusense sensor to see what my BBT is up to.
I’ve attached my most up to date graph, it kinda seems all over the place. What is yours doing?
I’ve had some stitch like pains and weirdly a pulling pain right in my vagina… only lasted a few seconds though, not sure what that was about.

@Ncl31 I’ve had similar symptoms to yours, some pain like stitching but also didn’t last very long and same down there for like a second.

BBT is nice and high but I’m still testing negative at 12dpo. Going to stop testing until AF day or the day after now since could very well have implanted later and still be too early to test.

according to this website I should really only test Wednesday.

https://www.countdowntopregnancy.com/tools/pregnancy-test-calculator.php

I had been doing opks to get a full month baseline but its so low values that the app is struggling to read them so I’ll just stop.

we shall see what the outcome is but I’ve been feeling exhausted all the time, I took 2 naps yesterday and the only times I did something was taking the pup for a long walk so was outside of the house max like 3hs 😂 if this AF still comes after all of this I’d tell my body I’d like a refund as its not working properly lol 😂

Ahhh hey guys, I totally missed you'd started a new thread @CatiaR I was like "oh nobody wants to talk to me today" 😂😂😂

Still keeping my fingers crossed for you and @Ncl31 ! All sounding very positive 🤞
Welcome @Yolo23! Fingers crossed for you too 😁

So entering the fertile window today hopefully! Managed to DTD even with a poorly husband so off to a flying start. Ov due Thursday so hopefully we can DTD a few times this week and I've warned him I'm due to ovulate soon so hes more prepared this month 😂 hopefully no drunk husband this week like last month 🙈
Have booked a holiday for next September with my family so I'm really hoping we will have a tiny baby to go along with us or else we might have to put a pause on things at some point.

@Hotmalibu94 I was trying to reply to the other thread and we had reached 1000 messages so I guessed it was full and started another continuation!

how exciting! Best of luck for this month and would be a great addition to your holiday if you had a little bean come along 🥰

planning on just waiting to see if AF shows up or not at this point. I don’t think I’ll be one of the ones that gets their bfp early or easily so fingers crossed its just a late bloomer but i have no clue if/when implantation happened so all up in the air. Hopefully only a few more days till I get an answer

@CatiaRyeah I only just realised when I saw this thread! 😂
Yeah, though an abroad holiday with a 2 month old could be interesting. Luckily it'll only be to Spain so not too long of a flight.

This month is going to be fairly relaxing work wise- this week is a 3.5 day week, next week is 3 day week and the week after I'm off 🙌 will be due AF when we are off on holiday climbing mountains so will be interesting to see if a more relaxed approach helps this month. Going to try not to track symptoms too much as well.

When would AF be due?
I just saw a thread where someone didn't get a positive until the day AF was due so it's definitely a thing for some people. Hopefully you'll see a BFP soon 🤞

@Hotmalibu94 AF is due Tuesday or Wednesday, I’d be expecting Tuesday as premom says but flo says Wednesday.

It seems like on here I see people get their bfps quite early all the time but in my close friends and family most only had after AF was due or even a week later! Who knows! BBT is still quite high so still in the running for now 😊

I can’t wait for my time off as well, not going anywhere far as we didn’t have a chance to plan properly due to family medical situations this whole year but instead going on day trips around our area at the end of September and beginning of October. The only other week we had off was for our wedding in July and we had my family from abroad showing around so felt very much not enough time to rest 😂

definitely need a holiday!

Eeeeek not long to wait then @CatiaR ! I'm very hopeful for you! Glad your BBT is still high currently. Mine normally drops the day before/day of AF so keeping my fingers crossed yours stays nice and high!
Ahh that time off sounds lovely to be fair, pretty perfect 🙌 hope you have a lovely time!

On a related note to this thread my Natural Cycles £40 Bluetooth thermometer seemingly does not want to Bluetooth across to the app 99% of the time 😂 luckily I can still temp and input it manually but is a bit annoying as it cost so much! Luckily they are sending out a replacement so hopefully the new one will work properly 🤞

@Hotmalibu94 oh that’s annoying to pay so much and it not working but glad they are sending a replacement! I’ve mastered the hide-under-the-pillow-so-that-DH-doesn’t-wake-up technique 😂 to be fair the thermometer beeps for quite a long time it feels 😝

a manual one is ok but barely being able to open my eyes to see what the temp is fun lol 😆

BBT has been the most stable out of everything I’ve done this month I found but opks were useful. Hopefully it will stay high otherwise I’d like to tell my body I want a refund! I cannot fathom why I’m so exhausted every day and barely functioned yesterday having only got up off bed by like 10-11am and taking 2 naps at lunch and afternoon. Only thing I’ve managed to do yesterday was take the pup for a walk in the park for 2hs and then in the evening another 1h. Work has been busy but I cannot understand why I wake up feeling like I’ve never slept if AF does show up (hopefully not!) 😊

nice to hear back from you tho! The chat got pretty quiet now and haven’t heard anything back from Huriya so hopefully all ok there..

@CatiaR your temps looks more stable than mine, although still got a stable-ish trend on mine. Stayed above cover I think so far… I get excited checking them each morning. The good thing about the ovesense thermometer is I wear it for bed and it records average bbt over 6 hours or so rather than having to remember to do it before I dive up to pee!
exciting few days ahead! Fingers cross for you!
@Hotmalibu94 nice to have you back, it seemed to go very quiet as most were out of the TWW, looks as though you’ll be joining in again soon.

Hey!
Can I join please? Currently on CD3 although AF has randomly come to a halt! It's barely been much of an AF to be honest but it's my first once since coming off the pill early June. Moderate every morning then it's dropped off as the day has gone on, but now it's pretty non existent!

I've only just bought a BB thermometer and only been doing it for 4 days (although missed one day as I forgot!). What would an average month look like when monitoring BBT? Mine shot up the other day but presume that's because I'm on.

@CatiaR yeah it worked for a little while and now just keeps coming up with an error message so who knows what's gone on. Haha yeah luckily mine has a memory so I can check it later and go back to snoozing 😅

Oh yeah your BBT is looking super stable now! That's so good. The OPKs were deffo helpful eventually but a lot of confusion for a while 😅
Wow yeah being so exhausted definitely sounds like a good sign! Fingers crossed, can't wait for you to test 🤞

My chart has also been pretty stable this month. Last month it dipped quite low for single days at a time but I think they were just wrong, now my readings are all pretty stable. Just gotta wait for that temp rise! My CM has been pretty insane already so hopefully it's soon 🤞 might do my last two OPKs tomorrow and Tuesday now.

I am planning on sticking around for my next cycle! Hopefully some of the others will return like Myna. @huriya please let us know how you're getting on lovely ❤️

Hi all, thanks for making a new thread @CatiaR. Fingers crossed for everyone who’s currently in the TWW

All quiet here, CD8 today so heading into the fertile week soon!
