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.

@Hollie1802 Really lovely memories. Orange juice and lemonade might make a good bucks fizz alternative 😂 There is not a single non alcoholic prosecco on the market that tastes nice unfortunately- or at least there wasn't 4 years ago 😂

So much for that 10dpo dip 👀 A surprise this morning! I've still got sore boobs (they've been persistent this cycle) but no other symptoms. AF is due Saturday/Sunday, I'm going to try to hold out testing for Friday. It's likely my body playing tricks again.

@CatiaR How are you doing, lovely? Must not be far off fertile week now?
@Ncl31 Did you confirm ovulation? 🤞

@etaketak1991 hiya! Been lurking 😂

your chart is looking great really hope this time you get your bfp, fingers crossed 🤞

yeah supposedly fertile week starts today, not hoping much for this time around as hubby is still on a work trip so not sure how much we’ll be able to get to but that’s fine. Predicted ovulation is monday so hopefully we can get at least some bd in by then

@etaketak1991 no temp rise yet… I also haven’t had any EWCM yet, still just “wet”
one app predicts fertile week to begin tomorrow and the other says 23rd dec so let’s see….
fingers crossed you get your BFP this week

Morning! @Ncl31 you sound like you're in the same boat as me. Flo is saying I'm starting my fertile week today. I've had no ew yet either just loads of wetness! I've noticed it loads more this month and I'm wondering if it's down to the conceive vitamins that I'm taking 🤔

I finally started bbt'ing this cycle. I feel like it's a bit all over the shop, is that normal? I seem to fluctuate daily between 36.1 and 35.5 😂😂 I'm wondering if I'm even doing it right haha xx

Which vitamins are you taking? I take conceive ovulation support as I have PCOS along with magnesium in the hope it’ll settle my cycles down.
here’s my most recent chart, I fluctuate too.

@Ncl31 I'm taking the pregnacare conception vitamins. This is my chart so far 😂 it's seems a lot more erratic than all of the others I've seen! X

@thejollytrolleydolly that does look a bit up and down! A couple of things you could check:

• are you using an accurate thermometer?
• are you waking up at the same time/getting the same amount of sleep every night?
• are you drinking more than a small glass of wine the night before?
• are you sick?
• are you taking your temperature absolutely first thing? before getting up/going to the loo/having water/talking?
• are you keeping the thermometer in your mouth for long enough? I found most accurate results by keeping it in my mouth for around 2 minutes before pressing the button (if yours has a button)

Sorry, I get a bit nerdy about this 🤓haha, hope it might help!

@ginny93 yes that does help!! The only thing that could make a difference is that I wake up at different times every morning because of shift working but I normally get a similar amount of sleep each night. I haven't drank this week or been sick. I do put the thermometer in my mouth first thing but I do press the button straight away so I might try warming it up for a couple of minutes before I press the button and see if that helps 😊 thank you for the tips! I did think the shift work might effect it but I didn't think that much 😅 xx

Oh my god. AF is due on Sunday so holding my breath until then. Looks like I might not be drinking at Christmas after all!

@etaketak1991 tentative congratulations! X

@etaketak1991 ooooooooh so excited for you 🥰

tentative congratulations hopefully the beginning of your bfp! 🥳

@thejollytrolleydolly fertile week also started yesterday for me with no EWCM just yet so we’re really close together this time 😊

@etaketak1991 fingers crossed for you. Keep us update!

AF due Monday/tuesday for me my chart for the first time is looking quite stable which is not usual, not reading anything into it though as it’ll definitely just be my body playing tricks 😂

Hey guys, just been lurking here sorry! Finally got my static smiley on Tuesday afternoon around 3pm, so dtd Tuesday & yesterday, was expecting a bbt spike today but didn’t get one so potentially ovulating today!! Which would be a little bit later than normal! God I am tired! I am hoping doing it two days on peak fertility will be enough! Or might have to dtd tonight 😂

@etaketak1991 - congratulations!!!! 💕

@etaketak1991 ooh that looks very promising!! Congratulations!! 😍

@CatiaR ooh fab! There's a couple of us almost exactly the same days 🙌🏽 we can keep each other sane!

I had the results come back from my first blood test and it was showing higher than normal levels of fsh so I've got to do them again to check if it was just a fluke or if it needs to be treated 🙄 more waiting! Basically it could mean something or it might not... glad I got that cleared up 😂😂 oh well I'll potter on for now! Dp isn't home tonight until late but when he gets back he will probably be drunk so 😈 easy prey 😂

@thejollytrolleydolly great! Always good to have some company 😊

ah I see hopefully you get some answers on that soon.

that last sentence made me chuckle 🤭 I managed to BD yesterday and probably will keep every other day till ovulation. I got some pre seed today so might be trying that out and see how it goes.

brother in law and his girlfriend were being careless and got themselves pregnant earlier on the year but miscarried and just the other day there was another scare which makes me a bit annoyed that we’re almost half a year of trying with no luck and they definitely don’t want kids any time soon especially since its a recent relationship and manage to conceive but oh well can’t do nothing about that!

work is really busy as my part time coworker has now left which leaves me to do two peoples job and train a new team member! Hoping to keep as less stress as possible since a few months back it was definitely affecting my cycles..

@etaketak1991 eeeeekk congratulations- I hope that line progresses and you have a sticky bean!
Still no temp rise here so my hope of a normal cycle have been dashed again - cd 22 today.

@etaketak1991 how are you getting on lovely?

@Roseberry22 Fingers crossed! How are your temps looking? ❤️

@EK37 Good luck! Are you in the TWW wait now?

@CatiaR I'm sorry, that sounds tough. These things are never fairly weighted, are they? I hope the rest of your fertile week goes productively 😉

@Hotmalibu94 So far, so good, thank you! Besides the fact that I already need to get a bra with a bigger cup size 😂 Took a standard 25mlu test this morning and got a great line! I've got a Clearblue digital weeks test waiting for me tomorrow ☺️

@etaketak1991 ahh that line looks amazing, congratulations!! Yea I am now in the 2ww, chart is attached I sure when I actually ovulated if it was CD18 or CD19, hoping it was CD18 though for my timings sake 😂

@Ncl31 - 🤞you get the rise soon, what was it today?

y

@etaketak1991 that’s looking a strong line! Congratulations 🎉

my temp has taking a bit of a dip today so I’m wondering if it’s my usual decline before AF arrives, I think it’s probably likely! Will see tomorrow if it creeps back up or if it comes continues to drop. My cover line is messed up from not being able to test while being Ill so that’s not helping either 😂

has anyone else notice their cover line go up over cycles? If I look back to 4 months ago my temps were a lot lower!

@etaketak1991 thats a great line! Congratulations 🥳 very happy for you 🥰

@etaketak1991 congratulations! That's such a fab line 🎉

Interesting turn of events, got my positive opk already when was expecting to ovulate monday so now I’ll be ovulating tomorrow 😊

cycles are getting shorter and about 30 days now vs the 37 I had before when we started ttc so that’s still a plus

time to get more bd on, I got some pre seed as well that I will try and see how it goes

@NLmum4 hiya this the other thread I’ve mentioned.

another companion for us @thejollytrolleydolly 😊 you ovulating soon?

@CatiaR excellent! The more the merrier!

So my app says I'm ovulating tomorrow which is probably accurate because I got a high reading on my opk this morning. Managed to dtd this morning and we will see if we can do it again tonight but we're staying at the in-laws 😅 not had a bbt dip so maybe ovulate tomorrow? Won't be able to get any sexy time in tomorrow though as I'm at work all day and won't be home until midnight so hoping todays has done the trick 🤞🏽 so glad I have some tww buddies 😊 xx
