Bbt chart HELP!

I decided to track bbt this month for fun after a long time. I started having ewcm and open cervix which went away on Monday but appeared the next day again. By Thursday it was gone again so I’m guessing ovulation was the day before. Also opk was reading 0.5 on Wednesday and 0.2 on Thursday which also matches my previous pattern. But my bbt is rising by 0.1 every two days and all the time I tracked bbt it followed the same pattern of 36.3-36.5-36.8. I had ovary pains and my boobs are slightly sore. Could this be anovulation?

Oh my goodness!! Congratulations I’m so made up for you!

tell me everything 😂😂 symptoms.. bbt chart overlay comapred to last cycle…

ive been bloated the past few days and had sorish boobs on and off but nothing really significant. The only thing massively different this cycle is the really bad cramping earlier in the tww

@Dan521 Here is the chart. The only difference from previous charts is that huge dip and the fact my bbt didn’t drop at the end.

And for the symptoms it started on 7dpo with extremely light implantation bleeding I thought I was just seeing things. The rest of the week went normally I got the usual sore boobs like every month and the random pains in ovaries that I also had other months. Main difference was the cramping that started a few days before af was due and I never crams before af. They were on and off and sometimes light and sometimes pretty strong I still have them today. Also the past two days I was nauseous and even gaged a couple of times and I woke up multiple times throughout the night all sweaty. Yesterday my cervical mucus changed to watery and stretchy that I also got every month so I was sure it was af on the way, I don’t have any increase in mucus it’s pretty much dried up no different than other months. This might be a bit tmi sorry but I had diarrhea today and a couple of days ago. Not like multiple times a day just once.

Thank you for the update it’s good to know!

how are you getting on? What a lovely surprise for you on Christmas.

my temps have shot up compared to last month but I’ve woke up later than usual the past two days so may not be very accurate. Done a test today and it’s bfn.

@Dan521 I’m fine just nauseous every morning.

Your chart is looking very good. I don’t think the time makes much of a difference. I always measured at different times.

@Dan521 How are you doing?

OP posts:
Dan521 · 29/12/2023 16:42

12 dpo today and bfn this morning. I don’t feel pregnant and usually count myself out by 12dpo. Temp has gone back up but it’s not much higher than it was at 12dpo last cycle. I don’t feel like the temps are very accurate when I take it early it’s always lower and when I take it later it’s always higher. I took it later today so it’s gone up. Mh wake up time has been all over the place because I’m off work. My guess is it will start dropping from tomorrow.

how are you getting on?

Your temps definitely look all over the floor place. Interesting how much the time you wake up impacts it.
I’m very anxious my symptoms have mostly wore off. I still have sore boobs and nipples and I’m pretty tired but I barely had any nausea today compared to last few days.

@emmatcc1 I don’t remember having any symptoms really with my pregnancies until later on. I wasn’t ttc so it wasn’t until I was well into the first trimester that I noticed symptoms. Try not to Stress and enjoy that fact that you finally got pregnant. You can book early scans from about 7 weeks by where I live for about £50. Might be worth looking into for some reassurance, you can usually see the heart beat by then.

Dan521 · 01/01/2024 16:43

My period is due today and there is no sign of it. I had cramps last night and expected it to show up during the night but it never. I don’t believe I am pregnant I have no symptoms and my cervix is hard and low. Tests have been bfn and my bbt is just pointless right now because I’ve been drinking and waking up at massively different times each day.

if it is late does that mean my LP length has changed or does it mean I’ve got ovulation day wrong? I feel quite certain on ovulation day like, I checked my cervix etc and there was an obvious temp shift.

emmatcc1 · 01/01/2024 17:11

@Dan521 Your chart clearly shows day of ovulation so you definitely didn’t get it wrong. When did you last test?
There’s still a possibility you are pregnant I had cramps before af was due and currently my cervix is still like it used to be before.

Dan521 · 01/01/2024 17:42

What does your cervix feel like now? Mine was medium soft/hard yesterday and gone really hard today which is what it usually does when af is coming. I tested this morning with easy@home. The only other brand I have is one clear blue digital early which I don’t want to waste. My temp today is higher that this day last cycle but I woke up later and I’d been drinking last night.

@Dan521 I don’t check it every day but a few days ago it was high and very soft and today it’s medium a hard.

@Dan521 Hello how are you getting on? Haven’t heard from you in a while.

Dan521 · 28/04/2024 21:15

I'm not sure where we were up to last time I was on this thread but we'd been diagnosed with male factor infetility and were told we would need ivf with icsi to concieve.

On our last cycle of trying before giving up while we saved for IVF we gave clomid a try not expecting much since the issue is male factor. We conceived that cycle but unfortunately the heart stopped at 7 weeks and I have just had a d&c a couple of days ago. Atleast we know the sperm can fertilise the egg now though.

I got a bfp 8dpo. My hcg was trippling and one scan told us it was twins but the next scan said the previous sonographer had made a mistake. So we went from the shock of one baby, to two babys, back to one and then none. Its been a roller coaster of a time.

How are things with you?

Dan521 · 28/04/2024 21:16

I'm now wondering if there's an underlying issue with me for clomid to work or If it was just coincidence.

emmatcc1 · 28/04/2024 21:22

@Dan521 Have you had any tests done? Sorry to hear about your loss, I also miscarried at 10 weeks in February but baby stopped developing at 6weeks.
I’m now on cycle 3 and this year has just been horrible, both me and my partner are having health issues I’m not even sure it’s ok to conceive if we were able to.
I have also been telling myself at least we know we can conceive.
Could you continue clomid when you heal and decide to ttc again?

OP posts:
Dan521 · 28/04/2024 21:43

Oh no I'm so sorry to hear that 😢 I have a friend who has recently miscarried also I think I'd be terrified if I conceived again.

I've had all the usual tests, blood tests pelvic scan etc and every thing has come back within normal range. I bought the clomid online and still have some left so I will probably try it again when we try again. I have three children already my youngest is 11 though so maybe it's an age thing for me. My partner does not have ant of his own.

Feel free to WhatsApp if you'd like. I can send my number in a private message.

emmatcc1 · 28/04/2024 22:13

I also have a friend who miscarried and is now pregnant on first try.
I knew someone on here who had normal tests and ovulating every month but apparently she was not ovulating efficiently and got put in letrozole. I don’t even know what that means.

I’m actually not in uk so I’m not sure how these things work.

Dan521 · 11/05/2024 13:29

Did you do bbt immediatly after MC, before your first AF?

I have been temping since 4 days post surgery which is when the bleeding stopped. My FP temps have been as high as my usual LP temps. I've had all the signs of ovulation but it's not showing in my chart.

Pink is my current cycle, green is my previous one when I concieved.

@Dan521 I started a week after and my temps started at about 36.6 which was a bit higer than my pre ovulation temps but they dropped just before ovulation.
Are your pregnancy tests negative?

OP posts:
Dan521 · 11/05/2024 14:20

It's weird because it's pretty much the exact same temps and pattern as last cycle, minus the FP temps being higher.

Pregnancy tests are on the verge of being negative.

People are saying you can't ovulate with hcg in your system but the trigger shot that triggers ovulation is hcg.

emmatcc1 · 11/05/2024 14:37

@Dan521 Not sure how it works but maybe you did ovulate on the day your temps dropped and now they’re back up.
