JANUARY 2018 Testers ~*New Year, New BFPs*~ 13 BFPs & Counting...

[mdscpa]

Merry Christmas, bebe.


You could be having a slowrise. FX it goes up in the next days to confirm your O. I'd throw in another BD today and tomorrow if you (DH) can.

 

[thencomesbebe]

Good idea!

 

[mdscpa]

Corgi - saw your chart looks like you're 2 dpo today.

Tb - I'm loving your chart, perfect timing. Welcome to TWW.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Thank you Mdscpa! My doc wanted me to skip Saturday but I was having gobs of ewcm and I just couldn’t pass that up!

 

[LO4]

Hi! I'm joining you since af showed up. This will be our third month of ttc for a little sister or brother to our three kids. I got pregnant on the first try with all previous pregnancies but I'm not as lucky anymore... Next af is due around 27.1 I think. Fx for you all!

I decided to add myself to this group. I'm already 5 days late but still BFN trying for baby #2 and with baby #1 I didn't get BFP until 53 days after O. So haven't counted myself out yet.

Welcome L and Jessica!

Got my temp rise! Yay!

 

[mdscpa]

Welcome new ladies. FX this cycle.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Thank you Mdscpa! My doc wanted me to skip Saturday but I was having gobs of ewcm and I just couldn’t pass that up!

It's really hard to skip a day esp. when you are seeing a fertile CM.

Welcome L and Jessica!

Got my temp rise! Yay!

Welcome to TWW, bebe. You could be 1 or 2 dpo today if we disregard that high temp on CD22. Anyway, as long as your temps stay up then it's good at least you'll know that you really O.

 

[thencomesbebe]

The LH surge happened on the 23rd with the temp dip on the 24th so I'm feeling really good that I actually O'd but cant explain the ovulation pains before that lol! Dx my temp stays high!!!

 

[tankel]

So who wouldn't be able to wait until the new year to test?

 

[mdscpa]

Not me. I'm so patient but mostly scared testing early for undue stress and disappointment.

 

[Motherofcorgi]

So FF has finally predicted O and given me crosshairs! Yay! It’s presicting the date I always thought it was—CD 16 that would make me 6dpo! My temps have definitely gone up and stayed there although I had a little dip this morning (above the CL). Question for everybody: how come it is that I can take my temp twice in a row without moving—we’re talking seconds apart— but the readings are a whopping .5 degrees apart? Is that normal or do I have a faulty thermometer (it’s supposed to be one of the good ones)?

 

[mdscpa]

that would be a perfect BD timing then and coincides with your peak reading. You may just had a fallback rise at 2/3 dpo which happens for some. I experienced that before trying to take temps few seconds apart to see if i got a correct reading but ended up being confused so I stopped it and always use what i got the first time and never tried taking temp again. I dont understand why it would make a huge difference as well but maybe being nervous/anxious about the next reading affects your temps. Just don't try to take temp twice so you won't confuse yourself.

YES!! I hope I truly did O that day because timing would have been perfect! I had never heard of a fallback rise before until I started googling about what might be going on I didn’t get one the first month I temped, so that was her confusing.
You make a good point about only temping once it just seems odd that it would be so different. I always thought body temp was a relatively stable thing (homeostasis and all that), and within a few degrees it is, but when you’re looking at tenths of a degree—that’s a whole different story!

 

[thencomesbebe]

I have been checking my temps twice in the morning since I wake up to pee around 4 am but they seem kinda low then. I then wait until I wake up at my normal time when I am well rested and actually waking up (around 7am) and those temps are the ones I have been counting as "normal." Body temperature is lower when you're sleeping and I think I have decided that my body still thinks its asleep at 4am, so its too early to temp. Side note; I've got LOADS of ewcm today so I think we'll bd just in case! It may make no difference but I figure may as well

 

[mdscpa]

As long as there's fertile CM better have JUST IN CASE. I'm pretty much dried up since our last BD. DH told me it's a bit rough and it hurts him. Still we're gonna BD as planned CD19-22/23. I still think maybe these temps are pre-O hehe.

Oh, and I haven't told/showed him my chart yet. So he'll think I still haven't Oed yet.

 

[tbfromlv]

Corgi I always temp twice because I temp orally. I’m sometimes a mouth breather so the temp Can be off. I actually temp three times. Usually the second two are the same so I use that one. Although I didn’t temp twice the last two days because I was sleeping in and only woke to temp at my normal time lol

Bebe- congrats we are both in tww now!

 

[co_fostermom]

Well my temps dropped a bit this morning. Not sure if it means anything yet but there's a good chance AF is on her way. I want to give in and test early but I know better with last week's testing debacle. I still don't know what would have caused all those faint positives with not having any hcg in my system. Oh well. Only time will tell I guess.

 

[tankel]

Corgi, it could be that your thermometer gets warmed up after the first read, accounting for the difference. I also only temp once.

My AF’s due 6th January TTW is killing me
