Chart help!?!

I will do. So far no more. Hope it stay that way.
Sorry you got so emotional. Damn hormones!
 
Hi ladies....I posted this in the other one, but then I thought I'd try the chart group for experts lol :)

I've been temping this month. Yesterday at 10 dpo it went up, so I was happy. I usually temp at 630am every day.

Today I woke up at 530 and decided to temp while I was awake it was 97.73 (yesterday was 97.77 so a super slight decrease). I woke up again at 7:15 and temped again just to see the difference and it was 98.03. So a big difference from yesterday's.
My question is I know we need to take the first temp, but do you think rigger are accurate? As we know the ones leading up to af are crucial, and I'm so upset with myself for missing 630. Just looking for some opinions I guess.
 
Sunshine- I would probably go with the reading closest to your normal time. I don't think there's really a right answer, just gotta chart what you think is the most accurate, not what makes your chart look prettier :) just make sure your next couple readings are at the right time and your chart will be accurate. Always gotta remember that it's not the individual readings that are important, its the shifts in temp pre/post ovulation. One reading won't affect your chart too much once you get to the end of your cycle :)
 
Sunshine I agree with Tridda. I've also read that as long as it's 3 hours of sleep. As Trjdda said though, one temp won't make a lot of difference, after all, you already know you ovulated. Hope you get your answer soon how long is your LP?

Tridda- when are you testing?

Project bean - how are you feeling?

Xx
 
Goldenpup- I plan on testing on Monday or Tuesday, AF is due on Thursday. I'd like to just wait till Thursday but I know it won't happen... I shall try tho lol. How is everything? When is your next trip to the doc?
 
Hey ladies!

I'm good thanks, AF actually heavy this time so hoping my hormones are back on track after so many years of the implant! This is my 3rd cycle off it so timing wise it makes sense :)

I'm away from DH all this cycle so next try will be at New Year (if my cycles stay on track), hoping by then body is ready to grow and support a bean!

So now i'm enjoying my coffee and cigarettes?! No more worrying about it being bad for 6 weeks, may as well make the most of it as i'll be quitting both before we next try!

Hope everyone else is good, any more BFP's?? c
 
Tridda keep us updated on the pee on a stick status!! I know it an be detected from 4 days before af depending on type of test used.
I'm fine, so far so good. I have to ring doc tomorrow and book an app for a fortnights time. When I'm there she's going to arrange a reassurance scan. Looking forward but anxious about that. I'd 2 scans last time and they said everything would be ok but they were clearly wrong.

Project bean, it's good that you feel your body is starting to regulate. You've have your bfp in no time. I was taking pregnacare conception for 2 cycles before I got this bfp. It has all the b vitamins you need to create and sustain a pregnancy.
 
Thanks ladies. Unfortunately I slept horridly last night, so now I have two questionable temps. Oh well, like you both said, it's more for ovulation. I'm just always dreading the drop before af. Today I had it but I'm 12 dpo and was up every hour, so we"ll see tomorrow :)

Goldenpup I see you're expecting! Congrats :) I bet that's a wonderful feeling. So happy to see ladies on here get their bfp. I had a mmc in July, so I'm glad they're giving you reassurance scans this time and more appointments hopefully. Which country do you live in?
 
Hi sunshine,
Yes, still a bit cautious about it all but taking a day at a time. Things feel so different from last time that I'm hoping it's a good sign. I was 5 weeks yesterday so still a long way to go.
I think I only get the one scan so thinking if I can hold out til 7/8 weeks, it won't be too long to wait to the actual scan. I live in Northern Ireland
Where are you from?

Keep us updated with progress.
 
Morning ladies! Oh boy do I want to test. I have a Clearblue early detection test just waiting in my bathroom! Lol. So hard not to test but it's still pretty early and if I can avoid a false bfn I'd love to lol. I'm waiting to see if my temp drops too. If it does I probably won't waste a test and wait for AF.

Bean- it may be a relief to have some time off of ttc and just enjoy the holidays and new year! Then you can start fresh and have a clear mind :) this baby making stuff can really be stressful!

Goldenpup- what kind of tests to they do at a reassurance scan? Do they consider your pregnancy high risk? My pregnancy will be high risk as I am diabetic, so last time I know they were going to be setting me up with more appointments/scans.

Sunshine- can you post your chart?
 
It's just a scan and a check that baby is progressing as should. The day I had my scan to confirm my miscarriage the doc in the hospital told me that when the time came that I was expecting again then I could ask for a reassurance scan. After that one, I'll just wait as everyone else has to to the 12 weeks scan.

I can totally understand them checking on you more often with having diabetes. Oh soon be time to test!!!!!
 
Tridda, here's my chart. I had O signs (ewcm and mittelschwertz) around the time we BD. I also have short cycles 23-24 days.

I can't get a big version of your chart but did u o on cd 15??
 
Goldenpup- that sounds good, a way to ease the nerves a bit. I'd want a reassurance scan even if I didn't have a prior miscarriage, because I'm super paranoid and over analytical.

Sunshine- yeah looks like you ovulated on the 15th, and all your post ovulation temps look pretty typical, so I dont think a couple readings would change your chart too much.
 
Ladies, so I caved and tested this morning! Being 4 days from AF I think it's as positive as it gets :)

Yes we need some sticky babies for sure! The last 2 days ive had a bad backache and some dull af like cramps. I dont remember having this last time, but that one didnt stick so maybe its a good thing? Hmmmm. How you feeling today?
 
I had that too. Think it's baby burrowing in. Do you think if know by now if it wasn't in the right place?
I'm ok. Had to change my bra this morning. Feel more comfortable and sides of boobs are still achy so that's good. I have some "feelings" going on so I'm hoping it's things starting to adjust for baby. No pain. Hoping to get through week 6 with no spotting. That's when it started last time although I do think my b12 played a big part back then! Feel tired since getting back from work and I can barely make it 2 hours without thinking I'm going to wet myself!
