BBT help!

[RainbowUnicorn94]

Hey all 👋🏼

New to BBT tracking, can someone tell me if and when I ovulated please? 🙏🏼

Not familiar with that app. The light blue is temp? If you were experienced at BBT I'd say it was clear you ovulated on Cd12, but there are a lot of factors that can cause a random higher temp that you may not yet be aware of.
Is the orange opks? And your peak was cd13? From that ovulation appears to be CD14 possibly. So that does not correlate with bbt.

Possibilities:

• your temps are wrong. Alcohol/poor sleep/wake times/using less effective places to measure temp eg wrist/illness. In this case I'd go with the date the opks indicate.
• your opks are unreliable. Do you have pcos or anything else that could affect them?

Thank you for the reply 🙏🏼 Yes my temps the blue one and OPK is the orange.... I did have quite a dark OPK CD12 in the evening and had cramps all morning on CD13, so maybe I ovulated on CD13 quite early!?

These are the easy @ home LH strips and BBT thermometer 🌡️ Second cycle tracking BBT so was confusing... 🫤 I'll keep in mind what can effect the readings from what you've said, thank you ☺️

I was just stressing we had missed the window, as last month I didn't get a positive OPK till CD17 🤔 So this time it's super early! ✨

@PersephonesPantaloons Just saw your other part of the message... No PCOS that I am aware of... my cycles seem to go in a pattern of a 28 day cycle to the next being a 31 day cycle... then back again, like every other if that makes sense!

I am down a fallopian tube (right side) from a ruptured ectopic back in January 😔 Not sure if this would have an effect 🤷🏻‍♀️

Well you haven't missed the window - you had sex from cd11 according to your chart, and ovulated Cd12 at the earliest, so it's fine.

Doesn't sound like you have pcos, or not severely anyway. I don't know much about opks unfortunately, as I don't find them useful, so I don't know about the one tube but I can't imagine how it would matter 🤔 Your ovaries still make the hormones even if one of them doesn't send the eggs in the right direction any more!

Yeah that's true, either way it's a waiting game now 🙏🏼 Thank you for your replies! And good luck if your TTC ✨

CD 12 x

Thank you 🙏🏼

@PersephonesPantaloons @Frenchtoastie Morning ladies 👋🏼 Is a temp spike good?

This is my chart on Fertility Friend... My OPK's are getting darker again, not sure why? 🤔 I've got cramps today and lower backache.... No fertile CM so I assume I am not ovulating again!

Any ideas? ✨

Have you done a pregnancy test? Opks can also pick up pregnancy. I can't see any other reason they are positive because you have definitely ovulated (assuming you are temping correctly).

I did this morning... I felt like it had a shadow on, but I feel like I had line eyes 👀🫣😂

But I have deffo ovulated haven't I? I kept thinking maybe as I ovulated earlier than normal that my body was going funny things 🤷🏻‍♀️

Backache has gotten worse as the days gone on, it's very low down and still got on and off sore/crampy pains below belly button 🤔

I guess I'll just have to wait and see.... ✨

@PersephonesPantaloons @Frenchtoastie Hey ladies thought I'd come back on here to update! My LH went back down, and my temp went a bit funny (Dipped).... But we are back on track now and I got a very faint positive this evening on about 5 different brands ✨ Praying this is a sticky bean and my lines darken as the days go on... I think I'm either 9/10 dpo today 🙏🏼 🌈

Congratulations! Faint positives are fine for 10dpo, especially in the evening, so I'm sure you have a great chance 😊

Omg 🥹 everything crossed for you!!

@PersephonesPantaloons @Frenchtoastie Thank you both! Still hasn't quite sunk in yet... 🥹✨🌈🙏🏼

How many months TTC are you? 🥹

@Frenchtoastie So I had a missed miscarriage last October (Surgical management) at 10 weeks. I then fell pregnant in January but it was an Ectopic which ruptured and I had to have emergency surgery and my right tube removed 💔 We've been trying ever since, with one tube down and an autoimmune disease they said my chances weren't the best 😞

So this has come as the best surprise but I am so scared 😟 We've also been told that my chances of another ectopic has increased and I need to be scanned at 6 weeks to check the placement etc... I feel physically sick at the thought as I have to go in the same room and see the same doctors as both times before 😔 Major PTSD!

I'm just hoping this is finally our rainbow 🌈

Are you TTC? How long have you been trying for if so etc...!? 🥰

Wow @RainbowUnicorn94 that's quite some journey. What a tough time you've had. Really hoping this one sticks for you.

Thank you 🙏🏼 and thank you for your help and input on my chart 📈 Sending baby dust to you also if you are on this TTC journey ✨

@PersephonesPantaloons @Frenchtoastie Morning ladies 👋🏼 Just thought I'd give a little update, I think I am going to experience a chemical 😢 I am roughly 16 dpo today and my tests haven't got much darker since last week 😭 I haven't had any bleeding or major cramping as of yet but it's not looking good 😔 I should 100% see some good line progression by now 🙏🏼 I am heartbroken 💔 I cannot believe I will be having my 3rd loss 😭✨

So sorry to read this :(
have you been in touch with the gp? This should definitely be investigated, sending love and baby dust :( xxxxx

@Frenchtoastie Yes I spoke to someone yesterday at the GP and also the EPU but both wouldn't give me blood tests 😔 which is really annoying! Even with my previous losses they said I just needed to wait till my 6 week placement scan... which I don't think will be happening 😢 I am gutted, I know people keep saying that there's 'still a chance' but I just can't see the outcome being good! I am just praying it's not another ectopic 😭✨💔

I'm really sorry to hear this. I can see why they don't want to do anything until they are certain about the outcome, but the waiting must be awful for you.
I believe you can get a referral to the recurrent miscarriage clinic if you do end up having three consecutive losses? If that does happen I hope they can identify a cause very quickly for you ❤️

So you have to wait until 6 weeks? :(
Will they give you a scan? Xx

Thank you 🙏🏼 If this outcome is what I think it will be then I will speak to my GP/EPU about getting referred 😔 I have a feeling they won't accept me yet as I do not qualify because my 'ruptured ectopic' is not classed as a miscarriage in their books I don't think 😭 It's all bloody awful! Just did not see our luck going this way again... It feels so hard to keep going 😢💔

@Frenchtoastie So because I am more at risk for another Ectopic they have to scan me at 6 weeks to check the baby is in the right place... So I've got to wait until then 😮‍💨😢💔

Sorry to hear that it’s so stressful, hope it flies are you :( this journey is like no other isn’t it!!!xxxx
