BBT Question...

[Ferret Mommy]

So things have been alittle off without my CBFM. However, the company did replace it and I have it, but it was too late for this cycle.. so I had thought.. but now I am thinking I could have cheated and still used it.

Anyways.. here are my temps


CD 19 - 97.66
CD 20 - 97.69
CD 21 - 97.33

CD 22 - 97.66, However, I was up at 5 and took it and the adjusted is 97.76- adjusted (normally taken around 5:30)

I should know more tomorrow.. but is it possable that was O? Or would it need to be higher? The temp in the room has been the same.. I actually woke up feeling nauseated and warm.. although it wasnt.

Thanks! I dont know why this cycle has gotten longer on me, with the last 2 being O on CD 18.. but stranger things have happened!!

yes kat, anythings possible, but as you said, you would really need a few more temps to confirm that. the increase is enough, you're looking for a shift of 2/10ths or more.

did you have any overy twinges, pain or discomfort? how about your CM?

well i guess the most important question would be did you BMS at all?

ETA: forgot to mention that "technically" you really don't know if your rise is 2/10ths higher because you only have 3 recorded temps. ideally it's based on the previous 6 temps. to have the most accurate info it would have been best to have your temps for cds 16, 17 & 18. KWIM?

Well.. I have had O pains that have been on and off since CD 14. We started bms every other day starting on cd 15. I only had a few OPKs left and refused to buy more since I had just bought my CBFM sticks and those are not cheap! Neg on cd15, cd 17... Its been hard to track CM due to BMS.. but I know yesterday, cd 21 seemed to have some ewcm... then I think I marked it ewcm since about cd 18ish, although its not abundent.

As for yesterday... cd21.. (TMI coming) when BMSing.. I had some soreness in that area that was abnormal.. but then bmsing as much as we have who knows... lol

Its been hard to get things done when a child wont go to bed early.. and I have to stay up late..lol

I was going to try to temp last week, but I was getting up every few hours and I knew that was going to mess my temps up anyways and was trying to not stress... When I use a 35 day cycle... my average it shows as cd21 as O.. so I am close.. but unsure and it sucks.

I will see what happens tomorrow...

Thanks!!

LOL i can relate all all accounts kat. after 4 or 5 days of BMSing i felt like i couldn't walk LOL. and don't even get me started on the extremes we used to go thru to even get the BMS in sometimes. i'd have you hysterical with some of the stories!!

well keep us posted hun! best wishes

[Ferret Mommy]

Well... to my surprise when I took a shower and noticeable stretchy EWCM.. enough to KNOW. So... there is NO WAY we can bms tonight.. we will just stick to the every other day until we cant... lol

FerretMommy-- I wondered how things were going for you this cycle ! I pretty much knew I was out for this one because I went to visit my parents solo from CD 11-16 (bad timing I know!!) I had my usual twinge of O pain on CD 15 & flew home late, late CD 16 (BMS late-late that night & next am) & according to BBT I did O on CD16 so I completely missed any chances I'm pretty certain. Didnt even waste $$ buying OPK since I knew I'd be out. I am planning to go talk to my doc though in 2wks, a little nervous but ready to get this show on the road & figure out why its taking so long. Onto the 17th month of TTC !! Keep us posted on you ! I'm CD 20 today - u ?

[Ferret Mommy]

Thanks Jenisuzy for checking in..

Well todays temp was 97.42... so NO O!! Which is fine.. cause I would like to have it happen closer to a BMS day.. which is today... I did have some really bad soreness today with the right ovary.. so we will see...

Today is CD23... although I have not Od this late since clomid.. maybe the metformin is playing games? I have been really relaxed, so I dont know whats up!!

Hi Kat! Sorry I've been MIA ... was on vacation in NH and internet was spotty!

So, did your temp go up today? I hope you O soon!

I honestly do not know what is going on.

cd-19 97.66
cd 20- 97.69
cd 21- 97.33
cd 22- 97.67
cd 23- 97.43
cd 24- 97.63
cd 25- 97.73


BMS every other day... So on CD 24 at night had some ewcm type stuff then a blob of it again this morning on CD25....

I did have major cramping on Cd 23 and nothing like that since...

Also, todays temp was 97.4? then I retook my temp right after I saw it and it went up to the 97.73.. so now I wonder if my temps are even reliable... since CD 21... I have temped 2 times back to back... the first was 97.25

I have had our room cold.. so I am just confused. We are so tired from BMS and we are done for this cycle. We will just see what happens and if need be, I will have my cbfm to use next cycle and that should help so much more! I can not stand temping and I wake up earlier and earlier.... so who knows...

[BC-Maura]

How frustrating! I hope your temp stays up now.... if not, take a break to recharge and then if you see ewcm and feel like it ... you know what I'm saying!

Good luck and keep us posted++++++++
