TTC#2 and SO EXCITED! join me

Wewll I calculated and I guess I'm 8DPO today....but the fiance had the AC on full blast and I was the one sleeping in front of it!! Go figure. LOL. Could that be why the sudden dip?

Do you normally have a 16 day LP then? I am
8dpo - I ovulated a week yesterday and based on a normal 14 day LP my AF would be due on Monday 6th.
I am pretty sure that air conditioning does not affect your basal temperature. Only being actually sick can affect it by making it higher

 

[MelloYello]

I'm not exactly sure about my LP....some sites say 14 others say 16. But IDK.....Dr. says 14 tho so I'm gonna go with that. So should I count the new temp instead of the old one? Or just re-test in the a.m.?

And what is up with these hot and cold flashes!!!!????? One minute I have on a take top and shorts and the next I have on a hoodie and sweatpants in 90 degree weather!!!

Do you know you defintely ovulated 8 days ago? The reason I ask is that you seem fairly certain that your AF is due on the 8th. It makes a difference because of the symptoms etc - if you are only 6 dpo then its more unlikely its an ID but if you are 8dpo then it could be. I would not discount the temperature, if you read fertility friend it says that things like surrounding temperature do not affect your basal temperature as your body regulates itself to its surroundings. Its only if your body is fighting some illness, drinking, some medicines and taking temps at different times that affect basal temps.

Well I'm confused with the DPO but I'm certain my AF is August 8th.....is my DPO off?

 

[MamaMac123]

I'd keep the first temp Mello. How long have you been temping? A couple things I learned after temping awhile is that you should always temp the same time (I do 5 am) and it should be before you get out of bed. At first I was temping at 6 am before getting up but wasn't realizing that when I'd get up at 4 or 5 sometimes to use the bathroom, that it could be affecting my temp at 6. So I switched to 5 am. Just a couple tips you may already know all that but just in case.

Yes I would say that if your LP is 14 days as your doctor thinks, then you are only 6 dpo - i.e. you ovulated on Wednesday of last week. Why do you think you ovulated on the Monday? Normally you see a rise in temperature a day or 2 after you ovulated. Do you use OPKs?

 

[Hann12]

Mama - i think its the right decision to wait 2 weeks before you take it. You want to be able to enjoy your holiday. Plus 2 weeks is not that long especially when you'll be having fun and won't be thinking about pregnancy!

 

[MelloYello]

Oh ok. I was calculating from when O started not the most fertile day. I temp around 6 a.m...and have been temping since 7/27. Tell me what u think plz.

7/27: BBT 98.23
7/28: BBT 98.52
7/29: BBT 98.99
7/30: BBT 98.40
7/31: BBT 97.61

But when i re-temped I got a 97.93....which is still low from what I've been getting/ So I'll just use my first temp and take it like a champ. LOL

Did you temp before 27th? If you didn't how do you know you definitely ov?
You should calculate from when ovulation started, so if you click on my ovulation chart you can see that I had a temp rise on the Tuesday so I ovulated on the Monday. I had positive opks on the Sunday and Monday.
To be honest if you didn't temp before the 27th its fairly difficult to say whats happening because its not clear if you have ovulated and if you have the drop you had today may be very low or may be normal. You will see on my chart that I had a dip yesterday but not as low as my pre ovulation temps. Does that make sense? If you don't get your bfp this month the I'd definitely recommend temping the full month next time.

Thanks MamaMac!! Appreciate the encouragement very much. And the cramping is starting to rear its ugly head as we speak......so I guess I can't count out that baby bump yet.



And too add......I went to bed at 7:30-8pm last night. I felt so exhausted. I'm usually an 11pm kinda girl. I actually fell asleep in the chair and my fiance had to wake me up to go to bed. LOL

Guess the fiance got cold and turned the AC off and now my BBT is 98.3....should I even count it?

I too was a late night person I mean like 1 am since being pg and well b4 my BFP I was Fallon asleep at like 10-11 I just couldn't hold out. I still have crampin a lot and I'm 6 wks pg tomorrow.

Probably a good idea to wait to take it new meds till after vacation nothin like heavy witch and those other side effects on vaca!

I used Answer fertility strips and got faint lines a day or two before but my darkest line on the 26th. So I guess you're right. WOW!!! You're awesome!! But should I already be showing such symptoms like I have so early. With my daughter I found out really early...like 2.5 wks early...the longest pregnancy ever!! LOL

So if your darkest opk was on the 26th then you probably ov then or 27th, I'd say probably the 26th because I can't see a jump in temps in the ones you have listed from 27th onwards so hopefully it did jump from 26th - 27th. Next time definitely temp earlier so you know for sure. If thats the case then you are 5dpo. As for whether you can have symptoms then I guess I don't know, everyone is different. I would personally think not but I know I've seen some people say on this site that they started having symptoms as early as 3dpo. Last month I symptom spotted, went crazy doing it, I think that if you think you feel cramping then you will feel it. I think the mind is very powerful at convincing us of symptoms when you really want them. I'm not saying that you don't have them I just would be surprised there would be so much at 5dpo or earlier.
I knew at 8dpo when I was pregnant with my DD (I didn't test until 12dpo) and that was early. I knew for sure on 9dpo as I had a small implantation bleed.
I hope that you do get your bfp though!

hOW DO i POST MY CHART?

 

[Hann12]

I should add that with the temping you should temp at the same time each day - so as mama said you should do it before you get up, drink, talk. I do it at 5.45 as thats when my DH gets up for work. If I temp then and then temp 15 minutes later its always a bit more, even if I haven't moved, spoken, drank etc. Your basal temperature naturally gets warmer as time goes on - so a 15 minute difference can make a difference. For me for example this morning I tested at 5.45 and it was 36.95, I then did it again 10 minutes later and it had gone up to 37.03 (sorry I work in celcius!).

Yeah, that's what I think too. Plus we'll be camping and staying with family members and stuff so won't be super convenient most nights so I'd hate to finally ov and miss it because we're sleeping in a tent with my hubby's 6 year old or are roughing it on my aunts living room floor or something! Haha Just makes more sense to hold off.

Mama - in that case that definitely makes sense! I am due to ov next month when we are staying the weekend at DH's family. I have to try to convince him to BD when we are there but not sure if he will go for it. He's not very happy doing it when other people could be around. I'll be so annoyed if we miss out next month though, especially as I want to try out my clearblue fertility monitor!
