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.

Welcome @Roseberry22 I’m sorry to hear you’re having a difficult time.
does your bbt usual drop around 8/9dpo?

Hey @Roseberry22 💕 welcome to the thread. Sorry youre struggling a bit. I was always a bit down when AF came, it's quite normal. Best of luck for the next cycle though 💕

Thank you!

It usually starts dropping around 8/9dpo and continues to slowly drop until AF, I guess I’ll know for sure tomorrow if it stays a similar level.

This is my chart this month, although usually it doesn’t drop quite as much this early. It was 36.9 yesterday and today 36.71 with my cover line at 36.58 usually my big drop is around 10dpo.

I started taking Proceive conception this month though and I ovulated earlier than normal usually at least CD18 so anything could be happening this cycle!

@CatiaR Thank you ❤️ The way I figure it, it's one of three options. 1, I'm pregnant, yay! 2, the new supplements I've been taking this month have lengthened my temps/ made them more consistent, yay! 3, my body is an arse and is leading me on. I know which one I'm betting on 😂

@Roseberry22 Welcome! Your cycles sound similar to mine, I start dropping at 8dpo with a big drop at 10dpo. I also started proceive (but the ovulation support ones) this month and ovulated later! Best of luck ❤️

@etaketak1991 are they the sachets? I’ve just started with the Proceive conception not max ones. Such a minefield whether anything you take helps!

I think the worse part for me is not knowing if there’s anything wrong with my fertility as I’ve never conceived before! My mum also took 3 years to conceive my older sister so that’s playing in the back of my mind. She must’ve conceived me a little quicker as there’s 2.5 years between us.

@etaketak1991 don't we love our bodies? 😅 fingers crossed it's not that option XD

just got my positive opk so definitely ovulating tomorrow it seems so yay for a shorter cycle!

@Roseberry22 Welcome! Sorry to hear you are struggling, also month 4 for me TTC #1 just about to start another TWW, it's hard. We got a lovely group going on here and we celebrated many bfps this month which has been lovely.

You're not out yet so fingers crossed for you !

Thanks @CatiaR sometimes I feel like I’ve put too much pressure on myself as I’d just love a baby (wouldn’t we all) but DH wanted to wait to start trying until after our honeymoon in June, I would’ve started trying straight after our March wedding so sometimes feel they’re missed months.

Everything happens for a reason though so just trying to be more positive that it will happen at some point and that 4 months trying isn’t actually as long as it feels😂

@Roseberry22 I feel you! I came off the pill in January to regulate my period back to what would be my normal and did want to start trying casually before we got married in July but DH wanted to wait till we were married so we did, and 4 months isn't long but it does feel long 😅

But onto another TWW we go again shortly XD

@Roseberry22 Haha I've just realised they're conceive plus, not proceive! They've got CoQ10 in which I see a lot of people taking to help 🤞

Ah I did look at these! I may swap to these if the others bring me no luck 😂

@Roseberry22 Welcome, it's a lovely thread here and everyone truly understands what you are going through - it can be a really tough time!

I was fortunate enough to get my BFP this month, and as you are talking about supplements, I have no idea if this helped tbh but this past month both me and my partner took 'Maca root' 'Omega 3&6 with DHA' and 'COQ10' those are the vitamins I had read helped with egg and sperm quality and motility etc and it could be a complete coincidence but I got pregnant the month we were taking them 🤷🏻‍♀️

@Hollie1802 congratulations on your BFP!

did you take them as individual supplements or find a product which contained them all? The vitamins I’ve just started taking have coq10 in but I haven’t been taking Maca root or omega 3+6 so I might look into starting them. I’ve heard of taking maca root before so think I’ll start with that.

Well I’m really confused this morning.
my Ovusense app has changed my ov day….
originally it was showing as 12th October, making today 14DPO - I had EWCM then too.
6/8DPO I had a few episodes of jelly like cm. 9DPO I had awful backache and my nipples become sore.
Today my temperature had remained high and it’s now showing I ovulated on 21st making me 5DPO…. We did DTD on Saturday morning.
i guess I’m back with 7 more days in TWW. I’ve attached my chart, showing the 2 ovulation dates.
my temperature today is the same as the last day of my last cycle too.

@Ncl31 I have to say I'm stumped by that as well! How frustrating for you. Could the algorithm have been confused by the second temp spike? I'm so sorry, just when you thought you were at the end 😞

I had a dip today but no drop 👀 I had seriously gnarly PMS yesterday so was certain it was going down. We'll see if it keeps up until Friday. 🤞

I think the algorithm may have been confused but only time will tell. My chart looks pretty similar between the 2 cycles.
im just going to wait it out and see. I’m not going to test this weekend even if AF doesn’t arrive. I’ll leave it until the app says 14dpo again.
i had an awful headache yesterday which I usually get before AF too. Plus, I have way more cm right not than usual at 5DPO, like milky cm like just before AF.
oooooooh looks good! Fingers crossed to for you!

@Ncl31 that is strange, it definitely sounds like the app has got confused with the 2nd rise in temp! What is your cover line? I think if you went well above that after 12th that’s likely when you ovulated!

I’ve had another temperature rise back to 36.92 this morning so no idea what is going on! Maybe yesterday was an anomaly and I’ll start the downward trend as usual from tomorrow 10dpo. I’m away all weekend so may take an IC tomorrow!

@Ncl31 that is very confusing! Hopefully you’ll know more soon

@etaketak1991 fingers crossed 🤞 its still high which is a good sign especially as you mentioned you have been having drops at 9dpo.

@Roseberry22 temp rise is good sign!

Ovulation day for me today and back into TWW tomorrow. We managed to BD yesterday and this morning but willing see if DH will be up for it tomorrow again for good measure. We did manage to BD earlier on the fertile week too so we covered our bases. At the very least this is a more regular cycle for me since we started ttc so taking that as a plus regardless 😊

@Ncl31 Sounds like a good plan. I continue to admire your patience!

@Roseberry22 Great news that your temp bumped back up ☺️ Mine didn't drop at 10dpo for the first time today, hoping for the same for you!

@CatiaR Good luck for the TWW! 🤞Sounds like you've got your bases securely covered there!

My boobs are hurting a lot this cycle and I have a headache. Both not symptoms I usually get, but AF loves giving me different/new symptoms each cycle 😂

@CatiaR I’m trying to just take it with a pinch of salt for now and not get my hopes up! No doubt it’ll be my body playing tricks on me 😂 it’s always when I get to this point and get impatient with the wait, I just want to know or AF start now so we can get going again.

Fingers crossed for your TWW!

@etaketak1991 glad you only had a small dip in temperature and not a big drop! It sounds like it’s staying up high 😬 will see what comes in the morning and then that might give me a bit more of an insight! are you waiting until expected missed period before testing?

@Roseberry22 I feel very much the same with just wanting to know at the end of a cycle! I'm waiting until Saturday (12dpo) to test, projected AF is Friday-Sunday ☺️

Thanks everyone, my body just keeps amazing me with its weirdness!
@Roseberry22 im not sure what my cover line is… this app doesn’t show that.
it goes off 3 days continuous rise. I’ve just continued to rise since 12th….
no clue!

Another rise on BBT today, so at 15DPO or 6DPO I’ve got a temp higher than any of last cycle by 0.35

@Ncl31 Hmm, could it have been 6/7 days since your 2nd spoke? I know premom would give a cover line at 3 "lower" temps followed by 6 higher ones. Another rise is good news! I hope you get your answer soon either way, waiting is the worst bit!

Looks like I'll be testing tomorrow 👀 I'm staying at my PILs who have a warmer house so might account for the spike. My PMS has also subsided so who blooming knows. I deliberately didn't pack a pregnancy test and now I'm kind of regretting it 😂 Not ruling out my body playing a nasty trick on me though.

@etaketak1991 ive attached my latest chart, the blue line is where it predicted I originally ovulated. I knew before I got the confirmation on the app because I had all the symptoms and tons of EWCM for 2 days leading up to it.
fast forward and now it’s saying I ovulated 6 days ago… I had no symptoms other than an achey back and zero EWCM.
its very frrustrating because I thought I was starting to have shorter cycles again but clearly not.
eeeeeek! That’s good news? Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

@Ncl31 It looks like it's that dip that's made it readjust! Honestly from what you've said about your CM, I'd be more inclined to believe the previous prediction was correct. Totally understand if you want to guard your heart and hold off testing though ❤️

It is quite exciting, I can't quite believe my chart haha. I'm working on keeping grounded until I see proof though ☺️
