BBT Chart/Blood Results - does this look normal?

Hello Ladies,

Just after a bit of advice and insight. I started using natural cycles this month using my Apple Watch to take my temperature as it syncs automatically with the app. I know it's not as accurate and using a thermometer but the stats on natural cycles say it is pretty close!

Does this bbt chart look normal? Had a very positive LH test on the 15th so assumed ovulation happened the next day. But my rise just seems slow and then today it has shot up?

Just for context, I'm 26 and I have been TTC properly for 5 months with one early loss at the start, but have had 2 months break from TTC recently. After my loss the doctors luckily have been doing blood tests as I get spotting for around 2/3 days before my period. I had my 21 day progesterone test today as they think the spotting could potentially be low progesterone, but I had my initial bloods done on CD1 (as it was a Friday!) and these were my results:

FSH 7.8iu/L
LH: 5.2iu/L
TSH: 2.7miu/L
Prolactin: 151mu/L
Testosterone 1.7nmol/L

I haven't spoken to my doctor directly about these, but she has signed them all off on the NHS app as being within the normal range. The only concern I have is, is my FSH slightly elevated for my age? I know it is still within the normal range but just curious to know if this is something I should keep an eye on.

I've also attached a screenshot of my bbt chart.

If anyone has any insight or comments on anything, please let me know I would be so grateful!

Hey, You have almost identical blood results as me when tested in January and I'm 30, been TTC for a year next month.

Testosterone 0.2
FSH 8
TSH 2.88
LH 4.4
Prolactin 222

I would suggest getting your AMH tested privately, I did mine with randox health for £30. The FSH score had me worried I had no eggs but my AMH came back as 16.8 which is lower than average for my age but not too bad. I don't know why my FSH is raised either but it was reassuring to see my AMH results were not too bad so I would 100% recommend the AMH test.

I have had an infertility referral so will let you know what the Drs have to say about the blood results once I get an app.

I was pregnant with same partner 7 years ago so know it can happen.

In terms of your BBT chart it looks fine but it will struggle to pinpoint ovulation as you missed the temps at the start of the cycle. I also use natural cycles. Looks like you ovulated CD15/16

Sorry can't give any other advice other than there's someone else with the same results as you 🤣

@riverlodge90 thank you so much for getting back to me and sharing your results etc.

I'm so sorry you're going through this journey, especially for a year now. It's so mentally tough!

Sending lots of baby dust your way xxxx
