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.

@Ncl31 AF is due tomorrow 😊 if temp stays up I’ll test tomorrow morning.

honestly don’t feel hopeful since cm also had reduced today but this evening got more again so who knows! Either way I’ll know soon.

premom thinks AF is due monday which would make it 16dpo but normally AF is due on 14dpo and last cycle flo was accurate with predicting AF so will go with that for now

@CatiaR ooooh exciting. Do you usually get a temp drop before AF or just the day of?

@Ncl31 so far it has been the day of but this is only my second cycle using bbt. Last month I thought I was out and took my temp and night in bed and it went right down the night before and next day went down and AF arrived midday after some spotting.

temp tonight is still high but I don’t fully trust it to actually mean anything as you’re not really supposed to do that 😂

the last few days I’ve been itching to test as I kept seeing others getting their positives but I persevered! Secretly hoping its good news but rationally I think its not it yet. Barely any symptoms or anything either so interesting month it has been. 2ww and two weeks annual leave helped too 😂

Well you’re in with the running until you’re out. Fingers crossed for you @CatiaR
keep us informed

@Ncl31 thanks will do! 😊

@CatiaR fingers crossed for tomorrow morning for you! An increase in CM was the only symptom I had when I got my BFP with my DD ☺️

@etaketak1991 thanks! Not keeping my hopes too high but can’t wait to know 😂

Temp still high this morning but bfn so I’ll just wait for AF to show now

Sorry to hear that @CatiaR , how're you feeling?
I made a chart discarding the random drop and it looks promising for ovulation. I've got a busy few weeks coming up to distract me thankfully.

Just realised that was the wrong chart.Sorry! The edit button doesn't let you remove photos

@Stickly smidge disappointed but flo and premom thought AF would come in different days so not sure if technically late yet so will have to wait and see. According to flo I’m now late but premom thinks monday.

temp was still high so decided to test but now I’ll just sit back and wait for AF to come. Can’t remember if it was yesterday or the day before that cm had the tiniest speckle of blood so either later implantation or AF starting to get ready. Either way time to wait!

Charts looks great, fingers crossed for you 😊

@CatiaR Sorry about your BFN. It's not over until it's over ❤️ Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

@Stickly Looking good! 🤞

I've got COVID or something else that has given me a fever this morning so not sure I'll be able to temp accurately this month. Still hoping we can BD when fertile week rolls round in a few days but I feel like an achy bag of bones at the moment. Joys of TTC 😂

@CatiaR Aw I'm sorry, those tests are just anxiety inducing! Fingers crossed your other app is right and you aren't late yet 🤞🏼

@Stickly looking good! Everything crossed for you!

@etaketak1991 oh no! I'm sorry you are feeling rough, hopefully it's shifted enough for fertile week , nothing worse than having to BD when you are feeling rough!! There is a lot going round at the moment though isn't there!!

This morning I am 6DPO and my BBT has dropped slightly below the cover line! 🤔 my temps are all over the place this month!

@CatiaR sorry to see your BFN this morning. But just sit tight and wait to see if AF arrives, Premom might be tight and your just might not be late yet. Fingers crossed for you.

still no rise in BBT for me, but I had more EWCM yesterday so I’m not sure what’s going on, typical that I’m back to not knowing what’s going on with my cycles.

@etaketak1991 thanks it’s ok if AF shows in the next few days we try again 😊

sorry to hear that you’re poorly, I’ve heard so many say they got covid that it must be making the rounds at the moment!

@Hollie1802 thanks! 😊 both my cycles tracking bbt I’ve had a slight dip below coverline at 6dpo too, don’t think you got much to worry about. I heard it could be implantation dip but this happens a lot in no pregnancy charts like mine too so its not an accurate way to tell if its positive but certainly doesn’t seem to be something to worry about.

almost half way through for you tho 😊 exciting

@Ncl31 thanks! Last cycle premom was off but could be right this time 😊 I’ll just have to wait and see.

aww sorry its all over the place again. Hopefully you’ll ovulate soon

@CatiaR ah bless you, well temp staying high is still very positive so fingers crossed!

@Hollie1802 I had a random bbt drop last month too, apparently you get a second surge of oestrogen which brings your temp back down. So hopefully should go back up tomorrow!

@etaketak1991 oh no! Fingers crossed it doesn't last too long and you're feeling better soon!

@Stickly that chart looks good! Eek exciting!

So everyone, how much does your temp usually rise post ov? My temps are nowhere near as high as they usually are, I usually jump straight up to 36.6+ whereas this month I'm just broaching 36.4. I'm hoping maybe that means my progesterone isn't surging and all getting used up really quickly and it's more of a slow burn 😂 hopefully I'll have a longer luteal phase this month at the very least 🤞 temps much more stable post ov too but I've deffo been sleeping better.

@Hotmalibu94 9 Ooh interesting! My BBT normally shoots up to the same around 36.6 but I think my progesterone wears off by 9/10dpo as that's when I get my drop. Fingers crossed for the next week for you! 🤞

@CatiaR How are you doing, any sign of AF?

I've still got a fever today with fertile week meant to start tomorrow. Don't think this is going to be our month. How is everyone else in the TWW doing?

@Hotmalibu94 mine is the same with temps over 36.6+. Normally staying around 36.6-36.8 ish

@etaketak1991 temps dropped a little but still above coverline so I’m expecting a further drop tomorrow and then AF. Doesn’t feel like anything is happening at the moment tho so just waiting for this cycle to finish and head to the next one 😊

Started to have brown discharge and light spotting so AF is due tomorrow as premom predicted it seems like. Did well holding off this month but still tested yesterday so next cycle plan is to not test at all even if my apps think AF is due on different days.

this cycle i really felt nothing much so felt more like cycles before ttc so maybe that’s good in a way. Keeping relaxed vibes and onwards with cycle 4!

good luck to those waiting in the tww and about to get into fertile week! I’ll catch up in a few weeks 😂

Such a confusing cycle! Temp went back up after yesterday’s slight dip, yesterday wasn’t technically spotting I guess? Just had some very light brown discharge only when wiping once, and its gone again.

I guess I’ll wait patiently for AF to turn up. Our bodies sure are weird 🤪

@etaketak1991 how are you feeling now, any better?

@CatiaR how odd! I swear the second we start TTC our bodies go haywire. Are you just going to wait and see what happens for a few days?

6dpo here. Just waiting and seeing. My boobs are sorer than usual I think but probably means nothing. Temp has crept up a bit more the last two days into the 36.5c realm 😂 just really hoping it'll stay up longer and at the very least I get a longer luteal phase 🤞 AF due Saturday as per my usual cycle.

@CatiaR What is it about TTC that makes your body go mad 😂 I hope you get an answer soon either way, it's the waiting that's the worst bit!

@Hotmalibu94 Thanks for checking in ❤️ Fever's finally broken but temp is still high. Called in sick today so time to kick it out of my system and hopefully manage to BD at least once this cycle 😂 Your temps sound good so far, I hope this week goes quickly for you!

@CatiaR thats interesting...must be so hard to resist testing!
@etaketak1991 sorry to hear you've been unwell!! Hope you have a swift recovery 🙏

I've finally had my ovulation confirmed and a cover line appear for the 5th which would have been cd 16. I'd been BD'ing too early in that case and only did it on 1st,2nd and 5th. Not bad odds but I'd rather try every day leading up! Hard to know if the 2nd was a blip or not, either way ove ovulated on one of those days!

@Hotmalibu94 @etaketak1991 going to wait patiently as I’m sure AF will show at some point.

@Stickly I’ve had a bfn on Saturday at 14dpo so not keen to test again to be honest 😂

16dpo today and I guess we’ll see what happens. This is the longest luteal phase I’ve had so far, it has been fairly bang on 14 days
