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

Megan, the absolute MOST IMPORTANT thing to remember about temping is that you should put a link to your chart in your Baby and Bump signature. :rofl:

We love stalking charts :dance: and you'll see we try and convince everyone to temp. Soooooo much fun!
 
While I was searching I found this link someone posted... Its a calculator which adjusts your bbt to a different temp if you tested earlier or later than usual. I put my temp where I took it 4 hrs late and it put it to .2 degrees higher.... Very curious!

Just be careful with the adjusters because I know for me, my temp doesn't really make ASA much of a difference as they say and sometimes its much more. My RE actually just told me that taking it and using ur actual wake up temp is more accurate than the calculators. My first cycles doing BBT I too used that same site but u started noticing that those sites just didn't work for me. Its completely ok to use it in the TWW since a single temp doesn't matter much, many women do, just be careful before O because it can make it look like u have higher pre-O temps which could make it harder to pinpoint ur O rise. If possible, its best to try and wake at the same time for ur temp, even if u fall RIGHT back to sleep. I just keep my phone or a piece of paper next to my bedside and that way if I want to sleep more, I can :) lol. Just wanted u to be aware that the temp adjustments def differ for everyone but who knows, it may work much better for u then it did me!

Anyway, can't wait to see ur temp today! FX!

Okay thank you I'll just stick to my normal temps. Sometimes its hard because my will wake up wanting a bottle and he will keep pushing my shoulder rocking me in my sleep like last time lol or like today my father in law turns on all the lights and makes so much noise cooking...then it wakes me son up and then he won't stop trying to get me to wake up. So I couldn't sleep for about 30 mins but I never got up I stayed laying in the same position, plus its vaginally so not much difference I hope not. So far my chart is a nice little pattern I'm waiting for a big spike or dip!! Lol

lol well it sounds like ur doing what u can and it looks like uve done a good job so far :). As for it not making much difference due to vaginal temping, it actually still does make a difference the same way as temping by mouth except the breathing in part of it all. When I switched to vaginal temping I kept falling asleep with the thermometer in me hahaha, and I would re-temp about 3-5mins later to see if I held it in there right and I clearly didn't even move, at all, yet my temp actually got lower by the minute of being awake! (urs may go higher since it differs for us all). I even kept checking just to see if it would go down more and even 30secs apart, itd drop by at least .05. Isn't that strange? Lol Anyway, regardless, ir chart doesn't look like its too off at all so you are doing a great job, esp with a LO waking you :haha: I cant wait for those days again!! :)

Yes, and itd help us help her, of course! We are only chart stalking to help!! :haha: Who am I kidding?! We're a bunch of temping addicts!!! :rofl:
 
Thanks for the info Sylvia, Mary! I will pick up a bbt soon if I get AF, otherwise hopefully it'll be a BFP!!
 
Lmao you temping stalkers!! I will put a link, I literally joined today so I'm not sure where to chart bbt once I start and I put a link in my signature?

And as for the siggy, one of us will explain how to paste it when ur a little familiar with FF. I dont want to get u all confused throwing all of this info at u at once, lol. :). Good luck hun! FX for a BFP in the next week-ish!
 
Yay two Megan's waiting together!

And yes you are correct my last period was Dec 23 2014. Missed jan and took tests from the day I missed until until Feb 7th with BFNs. Also started again with OPK and got BFN until feb 15th until feb 17th. On the first pos opk I had sharp pain in left ovary for the whole day and feb 16th my nipples became sensitive and sore, still are!

I haven't went to the dr.s yet because I thought maybe it was a fluke missed period from wanting a BFP so bad? But hearing about your friend makes me think I should go! Did her doctor have to do a blood test to show pos results?

She went to see an OB and told her about her concern, when she learned about her LMP and the negative HPTs she did the ultrasound just to rule out pregnancy. My friend didn't have any symptoms that'll make her suspect she's pregnant except from missing her periods.... It's very rare but it does happen... So it'd be better if you get checked out. Maybe you're in for a surprise :bfp: :dance:
 
Megan, i should warn you that this thread is full of people insanely addicted to temping... And Mary is like the druglord. :haha: She's well experienced and the reason why i got into temping and alot more... She is my virtual fertility specialist..... Regarding your chart, all you need is temp and most of the ladies here will read it for you... :rofl:

My friend too couldn't get a positive on an HPT with her first until 12wks and with her second until 6wks so it is possible!

Wait so ur last AF was in January or Dec? If Dec, and with u just coming off of bcp, id say u most likely weren't Oing and your body finally released an egg (hopefully!!) when u opked this month. Its VERY common for women to have LONG cycles after birth control, or short ones, due to your body trying to get back in order still so it can O. Many don't O for 2-3 months after stopping. I think charting would be even better for u given the fact u came off BCP because it'll help u discover if you aren't oing or something like that that could be fixed with some meds, u know? I dont think anything's wrong, that's just a little example of what charting temps can teach you. But anyway, I do believe u weren't oing due to the birth control and now hopefully ur body is back to ovulating normally :) If u dont O, AF can show OR ull just completely miss AF and have a "double cycle" which is the same as one cycle but its a 60 day cycle or so. Does that make sense? I wish u tons of luck and I bet ull get ur BFP shortly after temping, if not before, now that ur body has had time to regulate after bcp. Good luck!!!! :dust:

LOL :rofl: I'm the temping druglord! Hahaha
 
Yes I am thinking it is maybe due to the pill or stress of hoping for a BFP! My last period was dec 23, nothing in jan and now nothin as of yet in feb, except for the positive opk, I read also that feeling nipple soreness during, after ovulation means you ovulated. Read up about it cause I have had nipple soreness since feb 16th day two of pos opk. Also the first pos opk on feb 15 the whole day my left ovary had sharp pain! Hopefully releasing an egg! Damn BC I'll never go on that stuff again, messed with so much in my body, including sex drive!
 
Nipple soreness is link to estrogen surge which happens when O is approaching, when this hormone is high it kick-start your LH surge for O to happen..... After O, there's second surge of estrogen causing fallback rise in temps... And during this time, you want to have pain or soreness on the sides of your boobs which means DOMINANCE of progesterone, another sign that you have ovulated....
 
My right boob is tender on the side, and nopples are very sensitive/sore haven't felt nipple or breast discomfort in aong time! The pill messed with all that too!
 
FX you have Oed and is now on TWW so you can get some answers....
 
I 100% agree we are addicted to temping I mean Daphne almost didn't quit temping long after she got her BFP.... I mean like crazy long :haha:

Mary and Daphne was like the Batman and Robin of temping to me. They got me into it, I temped and before I could even comment they would have already posted on my temps so they and all the other ladies on this thread have been great in that sense.

This is why it's so easy to still stick around even after getting a BFP, they are more than just people online to me now they are friends :hugs:

OMG pardon my silly hormonal moment... They seem to happen more often these days. I'll cry for an hour but can only justify 5 minutes of the crying. The rest is because I LITERALLY CANNOT stop crying :haha:
 
Megan- You're welcome! :)

Mary- Its hard waking up because my temps are innacurate and I'll never know the real temp. Well this morning I put I took my temp 30 mins early and it put my temp from 98.28 to 98.38 so it went up .1 degree. But I changed it back to my temp when I woke up....ugh tww hurry up I can't wait to test tomorrow! I'm such a POAS addict, even though I'm still early I took those darn Walmart cheapies and a pink evap came up. Any line makes me happy at this point lol

Edit: I just decided if I can hold off, I'm going to wait till Friday when I'm 8dpo....I'll try to hold for at least 4-5 hers and POAS late at night ..?
 
Temp dip today. No doubt AF is on her way (expected tomorrow). Fortunately, I see the RE tomorrow. The last time I saw him, he told me that once I reached a goal weight that he set, he would put me on Femara for my very low AMH. Well, I've reached the goal weight. So, hopefully, I'll get the Femara tomorrow to start this cycle. Fx!
 
Ah no TTC sorry about that dip :hugs:

Happy your RE has a plan for you but I'm still keeping my FX that your temp goes up again with a BFP

I find that unless my sleep is SUPER restless (and that actually lowers my temp... I think my agitation combined with being drained taxes my adrenals and thus lowers my temp), if I take my temp after the longest stretch of sleep (usually that is when I first go to bed then first wake up, or 10ish to 3ish), that's most accurate. So I just use that temp but record the time. FF and most apps figure that in. OR... I might just increase the temp by .1 or .2 higher if it's during O time and I *need* to have the most accurate temp. possible. On a super bad sleep night, unfortunately I just have to average out the temps I take throughout the night, each time I am going to get out of bed, but then discard it. I use OPK and check CM, so between those FF can still pinpoint approx. O. Good luck and sorry for the long-winded, possibly confusing answer. Short one: no, don't use the # that adjuster gives you - if anything, record the temp you take early or late and record a temp in the middle of that temp and that site's suggested adjustment, which is always extremely lower or higher.
