1st Trimester

When did you STOP temping after BFP?

I got my BFP Sunday at 11 DPO (and again at 12 DPO) but I'm still temping. I like the reassurance that the temps keep rising...I now have a triphasic chart.

Anyway, I don't have my first appt. until May 11th (our 2nd anniversary too!) and I'll be about 7 weeks. I just see all the people who get bloodwork and betas etc. and I feel that my temps (and more + tests) are the only way to reassure me that I'm still pg.

So, did others keep temping for a while? I know I'm not the only paranoid one here. lol.

  • NO. Stop it now.

  • Don't do it.  It will fall one day and you will freak out.  Stop now!

    Take a pregnancy test each week if you need to.

  • you're going to drive yourself crazy.  As soon as I got my bfp , I stopped temping
  • I agree. Stop now. I temped for a few more days. I had a light drop and it sent me into a panic. I stopped temping that day.
  • Ok...I'll stop Embarrassed

    Of course I bought a brand new BBT right before I O'd (my old one said my temp was 106.7 a few times!)

    You're right, I would freak out if it dropped even though my temp is about 2 degrees higher now than pre-O. But, I did have a dream it dropped and I freaked out so I guess that means I should put the damn thing away!

    Thanks for the reality check.

  • I stopped the day I got my BFP.
  • Stop Stop Stop

    I was even told by my OB to stop immediately.

    Exactly. I stopped temping the day I got my BFP, and after that I just used up the rest of the tests I had, one each day, for like 4 days.
  • I stopped right away, because I know eventually temp drops a bit and I didn't want to worry over nothing.

  • I stopped after 3 or 4 days.  I think once you get BFP for a couple of days in a row you can be assured you are pregnant. 

    I just made my 1st doctors appointment for about a week after BFP and the B/W was really assuring.  The good BW results are keeping me happy until I get to go for an U/S in a week and a half.

  • I stopped right away.  Once you get those lines on the pregnancy tests, no need to keep temping!
  • See chart link in siggy.  I temped for a while.  It wasn't the best, but I felt that I 'had' to.  GL
