Sticking Together Until We All Get BFP's!!!!

[mdscpa]

Good morning, hope you're all having a good Monday so far.

I have a bbt dilemma... I usually wake up at 6:15 and temp; this morning I woke up at 5 and had to pee, so I got up, took my temp. It was near baseline ... Then I went right back to sleep and took it again at the usual time and it was up .7 degrees!! My usual temp range lately. So, which one, if any, do I record?? This is a crucial time in my cycle/charting.

Ps- no symptoms if implantation though if the first bbt is more accurate, it could be cuz it happened yesterday without me feeling it or spotting. I'm so confused

You may use this one... This will get your temp adjusted..... it will look like you have a dip today which could be an implantation dip... FX it is.....

So I should use my first waking temp which was 1.25 hours earlier, (after about 7 solid hours sleep) or the one at the usual time after only about an hour of sleep? I was shocked there was such a huge difference!

I would use the first one and adjust that one.

Put your temps into a temp adjuster. It can adjust the time from 5 and tell you what it would've been at 615

So I should disregard the normal time temp altogether?

It will ask you the time you took your temp, the time you usually take your temp and put the first temp (waking up temp) then it will give you the adjusted temp...Use the adjusted temp in FF. But leave a note.

Temp taken earlier is usually lower than when it is taken later......

Could be a nice implantation dip!

 

[mdscpa]

Is today's temp adjusted already or not? That is a good implantation dip.... Peak of progesterone happens at 7dpo and around mid LP (lutel phase) expect a dip.... When it goes back up again the following days after a suspected ID then there's a great chance you're PG....

have everything crossed for you June.....

 

[mdscpa]

Don't freak out yet June... If you look at Kenna's chart she got a dip at 9dpo followed by rising temps then her So this could be a good sign for you....

I got dips at 3,5,8 and 10 dpo followed by a rise at 11dpo... Your chart is much better mine...

 

[starryjune]

Thank you for your quick help, ladies (sorry, don't know your names... slow and need coffee). I put in my adjusted temp, which could indeed be the I dip. When I woke up at 5 it was 97.2, then when I slept another hour (probably not even very soundly), it was 97.9!!!! I didn't think it could change that much, but maybe my body was restless.

I pray so hard for a nice rise tomorrow, but I am disheartened because last week I FELT pregnant - lots of symptoms. Today I just have the sore boobs and fatigue and general achiness... feel pretty good actually.

AND I never felt implantation if it happened. No spotting, nothing. I had a few twinges but I think they were just gas. Wouldn't I have felt or seen some sign it was happening?? Wouldn't my symptoms be more pronounced given more time has passed? Then again, this is usually the time I am PMSing hard (AF due next Tues)... grrrrrrrrrrr.

WHY must everything mean nothing until you get a test result? POOPIE!!!!

OK, sorry. Just feeling skeptical I will get that rise again and that I am doomed for a BFN. And I am going away to visit family (without DH, who has to work/doesn't have enough PTO) at the end of this month which is our fertile window so if not now, I'll be taking a break til the end of 2015

Dani does your DH take anything to help with the TTC efforts? I know caffeine ginseng and zinc are great for men. I think I would switch the energy drinks for soda or coffee though, bc I know through personal experience what havoc energy drinks can wreak on your body. I bought my bf a gallon of delicious green tea with honey and ginseng at Walmart and he loves it. I can't get him to take zinc though. I'm thinking about buying some and mixing it into his drinks on the sly, lol.

For those ladies who have taken vitex, did any of you notice an extreme fatigue starting at 1dpo? Im on 4dpo and no matter what time I go to sleep or how late I sleep in, I find myself needing a nap everyday!! Also have had extremely sore nips e, sore abdomen, and sore bbs when poked. Is this just from ovulation? Never had any of these starting at 1dpo

This could be due to your raging hormones post-O... Odd thing i had this cycle was SLEEPY HEAD.. I was just so tired and i just kept on sleeping for the entire TWW... FX your is coming in a few days....

Alright ladies, we have a plan going forward. My period should be here on the 19th or 20th. I will go in for a repeat sis to check the shape of my uterine cavity between cycle days 6 and 12, which will be preformed by the re herself (as opposed to priming for an hsg to hopefully tame the allergic reaction I would have to it). We will then let that cycle play out the way it is going to and then starting with my December cycle I will be taking clomid with one monitoring appointment and a trigger shot followed by an IUI. Clomid + trigger + IUI will give us between a 40-60% chance each cycle.

No he doesn't take anything. He's just a natural hump bunny. I'm always the one that grows tired. He takes fertilaid just to feel like he's in the ttc process but his drive is all his own.

Glad you have a plan Jess!!

 

[Querida87]

Froggy - have you ever read about those women who get symptoms starting right after conception? Apparently it happens now and then. FX for you.

Jrepp - sure hope this is your cycle! GL!!

Yes I have, and im very hopeful that is what it is. But I can't be too sure considering this is my first cycle taking vitex.

 

[Querida87]

Dani - that's how mine is. The ginseng caffeine and zinc are supposed to help the swimmers I think; and, in my opinion, green tea is very healthy and everyone should drink it (maybe not while preggers, but the rest of the time).

Jess im so excited that you are giving iui a shot! One cool thing our re always did during iui was let dh push the syringe to push the sperm through the catheter. Maybe you can request that!

There is vitex in my Fertili Tea, but I started taking it after the negative Quan test and had symptoms for a week or so before that and they have only gotten worse, despite bursting a few small cysts while doing heavy lifting.. I hope the vitex helps. I just hope they do take my mirena out and don't try to tell me that my apt was only for an annual bc I asked for an apt to remove mirena and they never said I had to have an annual first..
