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.

@Hotmalibu94 thats interesting indeed. More the reason can’t really trust that as a sign 😂

my cycle was so long last month that now I’m well behind everyone we started with ahah our bodies are a mystery

@CatiaR - This is my first month tracking my BBT properly for pregnancy, in your experience how long before AF do you usually see the drop? I've read 1-2 days but nice to know from an actual person tracking it!!

@Hotmalibu94 Oh I bet, it's definitely the way to go, being calm about it all! Just need to keep busy and distract myself and like Catia said, I'll likely see it in BBT first!

@Ncl31 Fingers crossed for you, I hope you are having the best time away!!

@user1481811146 - I'm sorry, I don't have any experience with IVF either! I hope today has gone well for you 🤞🏼

@Hotmalibu94 I took another clearblue yesterday morning and got a darker line.

I then found a pink dye strip from my last pregnancy and it's a faint pink line so I'm pretty sure I'm pregnant 💕 that's 3 tests done with lines now. Thanks for checking in

How exciting that your 6dpo wishing you all the baby dust ✨️

@Hollie1802 personally I normally see BBT drop the day before or the day of AF. Definitely just worth chilling 🙌 I'm not paying much attention really other than my sore boobs 😂

@Stardust89 tentative congrats! Fingers crossed for you

@Hollie1802 this was my first month doing BBT but my drop was on the day of AF coming, at first I was only spotting but later on the day actual flow started.

I know that we are meant to take BBT in the morning and I do so but the day before I felt like AF was going to come to took my temp and it already had gone down. Which was confirmed the next morning.

I have heard it can be the day before or the day of as well. Probably why people tell us to only test the day after a missed period I guess.

@Stardust89 definitely a bfp! Congratulations 🎉

@Hollie1802 as you can see in my chart, meant to add it above 😂

I’ve noted that my temps are the most stable after ovulation really. Before its a bit up and down, possibly due to multiple factors like my sleep and how the weather is.

Yeah this was mine so my temp dropped the day before.

@Stardust89 Deffo a BFP! Congratulations 🥳🥳

@Hotmalibu94 @CatiaR Thank you for your charts! It really does drop overnight doesn't it! Bodies are crazy! I will wait and see then!

@Stardust89 - There are definitely lines there! My fingers are crossed for you 😊

My temp dropped this morning and I’ve started cramping and spotting.
pleased to see AF

@Ncl31 oh bless you. Been a long and tough cycle! Hopefully this next one is a bit shorter for you!

@Hotmalibu94 fingers crossed. I’ve been taking myoinsitol for 2 months now, this cycle was shorter than my last so hopefully this in my system and is working.

ive been a little reserved with the rides the last 2 days but today we’re at universal studios so it was a nice feeling knowing I can go on anything and not potentially causing harm to any little bean that could have been growing

@Ncl31 ah finally arrived! At least now you know and can have fun to the max 😊 although our cycles can be crazy BBT seems to be the most reliable thing we got!

Hi!

First month ttc baby 2! Is this a cross or an evap line?! It was done late this afternoon so will try a morning one again tomorrow.

due on period on Friday, 28 day cycle

thank you in advance!

@CatiaR yeah that true. I’m going to keep wear my Ovusense to get more data. How are you doing?

@Stellardasher Welcome! I can see something but I'm not experience enough to tell if its an evap, clear blues seem to be quite bad with that I hear.

Best to do another in the morning as you said. Fingers crossed!

@Ncl31 I'm good thanks! Fertile week should be starting next week so I will be doing opks soon to see when i am ovulating this month, not sure if its going to be a more normal cycle or a longer one like last one so will see how it goes!

Hope you are enjoying your holiday :)

Hey @CatiaR good luck with this month!! I'm not holding my breath I only managed to dtd once anywhere near my fertile period this month because of my shifts. It was right at the end of my ovulation week so I don't know if it was too late but hey ho! Sorry I meant to send this ages ago 😂😂

@thejollytrolleydolly ah I see! Who knows maybe it will be the lucky day otherwise next month 😊

@CatiaR you never know! It only took one time for my daughter 😂😂 I bought some tests just incase. I'm due af on Sunday and feel nothing yet so who knows 🤷🏽‍♀️ how are you getting on? Xx

I hope everyone is having a good day! I was silly and took a easy@home test I found hanging around in the back of the cupboard this morning and of course it was negative! I'm only around 10DPO at the moment so it could just be early but I saw a faint line at this point with my miscarriage so it's making me think that this month isn't my month! Which I would be surprised if it was as it is right our first month back trying but I hoped!

I am on a bit of a tight timeline (completely our fault for not starting sooner!) this is going to sound ridiculous but we have a Taylor Swift concert booked for August next year (and those tickets were pricey and very hard to get and I have wanted to see her for my whole adult life!) and then my mums birthday celebration in Disney world in early September. I would ideally like to not be pregnant for that so I can properly enjoy it with her 🤦🏻‍♀️ I don't know if we would just stop trying if it doesn't happen in the next 3 months but then it would be a full year before trying again!

I don't know, I'm confused 😂 and annoyed at myself for my poor timing!!

@thejollytrolleydolly fingers crossed for you!

not much going on here yet, only cd9 and fertilise week should be next week or next after but we’ll see when my body will decide to ovulate this month. I now know it’s generally later but both premom and flo think differently at the minute but less worried this time as I know what to expect. Started opk to see where I’m at right now but nothing to indicate anything starting soon 😊

BBT has been the most stable of everything so this time around really want to not test at all unless AF doesn’t show. I could see exactly when I was out so I hope I can let go and just see what happens.

@Hollie1802 still early days so fingers crossed for you 🤞

@CatiaR that's really interesting! I might try and start to temp again. Apparently there's new research to say that you don't need to do it the same time every day as long as you get at least 4 hours of undisturbed sleep and temp as soon as you wake. Might have to give it a go again. Good luck with this cycle girl! I'll keep you updated if anything happens with me this week but I've got the same weird cm that I had last month so I reckon I'm out again 😂 you never know though! X

@thejollytrolleydolly I don’t temp exactly at the same time as sometimes I wake up before my alarm but always between 5-6:30AM. I know you temp in the morning but I felt like I was out the day before AF was due and my temps had dropped. The next morning it was the same as the night before and AF started. I find my temps go up and down before ovulation but afterwards it was super stable as you can see below. Probably going to focus on that to tell me what’s going on and not focus on symptoms and testing. Last cycle didn’t have a whole lot going on either so yeah. Hopefully each time I do this I’m less focused on the outcome and just enjoying the process I guess as much as I can.

definitely cannot tell by feeling my cervix as I can only notice its either out of my reach after AF/ovulation. And I can feel it low during AF times so doesn’t help me much there 😂

TTC is not an easy business I can definitely see! Fingers crossed you still got a small chance this month 😊

Hi all! Is it alright if I hop on? This is my 2nd month BBT'ing and my 4th cycle, on CD7 today ☺️ I've finally gotten a proper ovulation thermometer, was just using a regular one last month and my chart was mad haha.
