Yes 10dpo is a good place to start but with a sensitive test like an frer or wondfo. Frer are by far the most sensitive. As an example frers have been known to pick up as little as 6.5mIU whereas most of your over the counter tests pick up 20-25mIU. Wondfos are also quite sensitive. Many people use them first as they are cheap then confirm with an frer if they see something. Frer = first response early result

Thanks pbn3! Was wondering what frer stood for! Ive never seen a wondfo brand here but have seen frer. 6dpo! That's crazy!Am I correct in understanding that if bbt stays up for 18 days that's a big sign of pregnancy?Quote:

Not 6dpo just to clarify (think it was just a typo and you meant 6mIU)
Yes that can be a sign of pregnancy but most peoples af would have been due before 18dpo. There are different patterns in temps that can be very promising but definately not a guarantee. Maintained elevated temps is one pattern yes, but there are people who's temps dont drop before af and stay elevated until af finishes then drop back to usual pre o temp range. Triphasic charts are also promising. Triphasic meaning three distinct levels of temps, pre o, temps post o then usually another maintained rise following implantation. Some people experience what's referred to as an implantation dip. However a secondary estrogen surge can also cause a temp dip around the same time (6-10dpo). From what I've observed though, the temps that dip almost down to or below coverline on your chart (coverline being the horizontal line of your red cross) are the most promising. I personally wouldn't get too excited about a dip smaller than this. Another pattern is a sustained rise of little fluctuation in temps. So like a tight zigzag pattern. These are 'some' examples of cause for excitement BUT I've seen some very pretty charts end in a bfn so that's all it really is, a possible promising sign but definately not a guarantee.

So excited for everyone who is here and waiting!
Mwilson, at least the holidays will make things hopefully go quickly for you and you won’t have too much extra time to focus on ttc (at least that’s what I keep telling myself if this isn’t my cycle).

Hi BacktoSchool! Let us know when you test again in the morning!
Pbn, that temp was earlier than usual because my youngest decided 5:30 was an ok time to wake up. At this point I’m not reading too much into it since I don’t even know what dpo I am [emoji38]

Not even a squinter? Can you post a pic of tomorrow mornings test for us? Your temps are still up and you're only using IC's so don't lose hope!!Quote:

Mad respect for all you ladies who temp! I am up all night with one of my kiddos who just doesn't sleep well (ADHD, sigh) (or I'm a big sucker and need to just not answer when he calls) so I didn't even try temping. But I find it fascinating!
mwilson, I'm sorry you're out this month. I hope you get everything you want for Christmas. :)
Pbn3, I am using these cheapie pregnancy strips from Amazon. I bought them for ovulation, but it came with 20 pregnancy tests. I only have 3 or 4 left. :)
I am not sure when af is due. I got a positive opk ovulation test on November 6, so that's...13 days ago. But I have really long cycles, and I'm 41. I had a chemical pregnancy in August, so I'm just generally nervous. Trying to take lots of B-complex and magnesium to help with pregnancy and calm my ass down, tho. :) My Ovia app says my period's not due for another week, but that seems kind of crazy to me.
Greydore, I'll test again tomorrow and let y'all know. And I hope your kiddo (and mine) sleeps in tomorrow! You know, at least till 7 am. :)

Oh haha that's true! I did take temp about 20 min earlier this morning than normal - woke up randomly before my alarm went off. I started getting EWCM today which last cycle I recorded starting on CD11 too!!! My body is definitely very consistent!Quote:
