[Titi]

see-Guppy & Crossroads, I notice that your preg. charts your temps are higher after O than beginning of cycle whereas mine are still much lower. That's why I was wondering if they have to be high for pg.
Thanks for the help!

Titi, temps are supposed to be higher after Ovulation than before. Its normal for most temps to be lower BEFORE Ovulation (below coverline). Just remember that one or 2 temps out of place doesn't have much an effect (so dont worry about those few that are above/near coverline prior to Ov). When the egg is released, temps should be higher (above coverline). The purpose of the rise AFTER Ov is so that the environment can sustain a pregnancy for the bean.

A "normal" chart should basically be biphasic (has 2 levels of temps- Pre Ov and Post Ov). Your chart looks normal for the most part and is biphasic. This does NOT indicate pregnancy, though if you have a rise in temps for 18 or more days, you are probably preggo. Also, many pregnant woman get triphasic charts (sorta like how my temps raised a third time - after the ID). BUT not every preggo woman has to have a triphasic chart.

P.S.

Are you sure you took your temp those first few cycle days the proper way? Either way, a couple "out of place" temps are okay. Usually they dont mean much.

 

[Titi]

Thanks Guppy-very helpful. You know what-I can't be sure now that I didn't take them incorrectly-as that was my very first time charting and recording them!

 

[Kelly9]

Wow Titi your temps have been super high this cycle, I am lucky if I break 36.7 in a cycle during summer!

Guppy I heard 10 is the cutoff but I would probably take b vits to try and lengthen it cause that for sure could have been the reason why you MC. The theory behind it is by the time baby implants your uterine lining is gearing up for shedding, did the docs tell you how old fetus was when it passed away?

Thanks for the info Kelly!
The docs said the babe was 6 weeks & 3 days when he/she died. Does a short LP affect that or does it just affect that fact that an egg cant implant?

I have thought about taking B vits. I have been taking a prenatal since June and I know that has 1.8 mg of Vit. B1 and 1.7mg of Vit. B2. Do you think thats enough or should I also start a Vit B supplement on top of that? I just want to be careful how i mix pills and all.

 

[Kelly9]

I would still take the B vits after asking a pharmacist of one of the pro b vit girls around BnB (post in ttc section asking about it) but I think it just affects implantation so if you made it to 6 weeks I would think it wouldn't be from that.

 

[Guppy051708]

Oh okay. Thanks so much dear!

How have you been these days? Not much going on here, just waiting for the to leave.

 

[SarahMelissa]

Guppy if you do have an LP problem maybe you should take what my FS told me to take, as i was getting spotting from 5dpo onwards, and he told me to take a berocca once a day, along with fish oil, zinc and folic acid. The berocca is full of all the B vits, and while it could have been the Letrozole (clomid) that stopped my spotting and made my LP a little bit longer i personally think it was the berocca.

 

[Guppy051708]

Thanks SarahMelissa! i dont get spotting, I may try it anyways! I just want whats best for the bean!

btw, is berocca an over-the counter vitamin? Never heard of that before.

 

[SarahMelissa]

it defintatly cant hurt, so up to you if you wanted to try it. It is just an over the counter vitamin you can actually even buy it in your local supermarket......(well here in Australia you can).

Hi All- BFP Dream last night only to get a this morning.
Crushed.

Thanks all for helping with my charts-I am so new to all this. Kelly9-what do high temps generally mean? I keep hearing mine are high but that was a surprise to me b/c I always thought that 98.6f was 'average' temp. and mine are mostly lower than that.......
So much to learn!

What brand of HPT did you use chick?

 

[2016]

After reading some other threads I changed the start date of my cycle to a day later because I only had spotting the first day (6th nov) which turned into light flow in the night. Does this sound right to only start cd1 on first full flow day? Was also wondering if any of you had thoughts/experience of temps flatlining like they do for me every cycle? See on overlay that last cycle I had very similar flat pattern shortly before ov...but I doubt I am about to now cos OPKs still neg.
Take care lovelies! x

 

[Kelly9]

DOn't know about flat lines but yes day 1 is first day of full flow. High temps might not mean anything, might just mean you have heavy blankets on or are typically warmer. I get cold easy.

Not much going on for me cd7. I am having some leg and hip pains and am hoping they will go away soon otherwise will pop into doctors.

 

[Guppy051708]

it definitely cant hurt, so up to you if you wanted to try it. It is just an over the counter vitamin you can actually even buy it in your local supermarket......(well here in Australia you can).

Well, the DH and I are on our way to get some groceries. I looked up Berocca, and apparently it's not sold in the States...so im going to look into just taking some other Vitamin B supplements.

thanks for the suggestions girls! It means a lot!

FRER-FMU DPO12 all day

Okay, heres some information i found on Luteal Phase Deficiency (LPD):

https://www.epinions.com/kifm-review-1E5E-64B24F5-3A2B30C4-prod1

So glad that there is help out there!

PS. Kelly, you still may be right about a short LP. I read that woman with LPD can still get pregnant, but because of Prolactin (a hormone), when a pregnant woman (who had LPD) is around the weeks of her period (Like 4 weeks preggo, 8 weeks preggo, etc) they are more likely to MC at that point because of the hormone level of prolactin.

So glad there is help, and most of all, from what i gather, B6 can work in one cycle if you take it at the start of your period. So im going to the store now, and will be taking it starting tonight...hopefully the fact that Im on CD 3 wont make it work less. (the lady in the article, said she started taking it on CD 10 and it didn't help for that cycle).

 

[Kelly9]

Are you taking 50's or 100's?

 

[Guppy051708]

Im going to start out at 50. Thats what the lady recommended. Or do you think i should do 100?
