I've never taken BBT before.
From what I've read I need to take it as soon as I wake up.
Take it before I get out of bed.

Anything else I should know?

It's best to take it vaginally as well, that's what my doctor told me and that's how I checked mine. It's more accurate.

Good luck on testing soon I hope you get your BFP :luck: FX!!!

Thanks Z , but I don't know...I did not have a temp dip like last time when I got a bfp...well see .we only dtd once too.
Hope it's a sticky for you!

Ladies do you find the fish oil makes your period go for ages? I am on day 7 and still bleeding... wonder if it is the fish oil as this is a blood thinner, hey>?

I've kept it a secret before....I found out with DS1 and accidently found out with DS2(they showed me his obvious bits on the u/s at 20w. My hubby wasn't in the room). I know my hubby really loves the surprise so I wanted to keep that for him. :)

I'm not too sure about that, but it was winter when I checked and was sleeping with a heated blanket on me.

Take it before you get out of bed in the morning or do any big movement. If you have the heater on every morning it won't influence your temps. When we put our down comforter on for the winter a couple of weeks ago I noticed my temps went up around half a degree and have stayed up. So I think that a heavier comforter/heater WILL influence temps, but if you are using it every night/morning your temps will be consistent for it. Does that make sense?

I have always taken mine orally before I get out of bed in the morning. Alarm goes off, I reach over and get it, take temp. Put it back on nightstand. Then I get up, go potty (use monitor at that point), etc. When I come back to make the bed I check the thermometer... it stores the temp for me :)

Foxy, really sorry about AF. Are you attempting this cycle?

3, belated Happy Birthday to your DD2. That photo is gorgeous!

DM, congrats! Such fantastic news :) I don't know how you can keep it from hubby! Do you think he will sense it?

MFC, how are you doing? Are you going for a blood test soon?

LBAM, I've got a white and pink thermometer. Maybe I should chuck it and get a blue one? Haha. Skrimpy gave some great advice re temp taking.

Flava, 9dpo already! How are you feeling?

5, so your trying this month for sure? Not sure about the fish oil. I haven't bled any longer than usual.

I'm CD10 today. I had an ultrasound today which showed a dominant follicle (was secretly hoping for two dominants!). My lining is also good. So I should O in the next few days hopefully. DH released 3 days ago so we will DTD tonight and then maybe tomorrow night or the night after depending on my OPKs.

MFC - Your hcg level doubles every 48 hrs, wait 3 or 4 days then test again. With this one I went from faint at 12dpo to darker then the control line by 16dpo.

Lbam - Try to temp at the same time everyday. If you wake up at random times this could throw things off. Like Skrimpy said the electric blanket shouldn't make a difference as long as you use it everyday and keep it at the same temp. Your overall body temp will be higher but the same pattern will emerge.

Bec - ooh attempting so soon, gl and blue dust!!

Thanks ladies, dd had a great birthday. She doesn't expect a lot so that always makes each birthday fantastic.
Since I missed it yesterday Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends and happy thursday to everyone else!

Flava -fwiw my thermometer is pink too :wink:

5 - so glad your still ttc and no I had no changes to af from fish oil just more cm.

3Pinknoblue, I wonder if you are just having some midcycle spotting?? You can spot with ovulation sometmes.
November 25th, 2011, 09:10 PM

Well a week till O and I have had to take antihistamine today... not good but I had to take it :(
November 26th, 2011, 01:53 AM
2pinkNoblue

IDK...well maybe cause it doesnt seem to be a flow, but had brown discharge then bright red this AM spotting so I thought AF was in full force, but nothing tonight FX! If it is spotting with Ovulation does that usually occur before or after O? I never had that happen...its hard enough trying to sway, but add in trying to figure out when you O if at all and its a flippin nightmare...I am stressed and I have not even attempted yet I think as the attempt gets closer I keep thinking of reasons to pospone cause I am scare to try and fail :( hope your right tho Cinss and Hobber....

TTC5, I don't know if it matters if you just take an antihistamine once... I would PM Atomic and see what she says. How long until O day?
