When to stop temping?

densquareddensquared member
in Pregnant after a Loss

I've had + HPT for 3 days, my temps have stayed pretty darn high, and AF isn't even due for a couple more days.

The problem? I am obsessed with temping! I can't seem to stop myself. When did you all quit temping after your + HPTs?

    I quit a week or so in. Trust me on this one... Hide it. You will only cause yourself stress.

    I quit as soon as I got my BFP at 10DPO so that I wouldn't stress myself out!

    I finally stopped about two weeks after I got my positive. I had to put it in the bathroom so I couldn't do it since I had to get up out of bed to get it

    I'm really going to try to not be one of those jack-hats who asks for advice and doesn't take it. I will put the thermometer in the bathroom tonight!

    Thanks!!

    Last time I temped until about 20 dpo (about 10 days after my first positive HPT). I had never seen the temp rise (with all my c/p's it would always fall) so I wanted to see what a true BFP chart looked like.

    This time I only temped to confirm O (even though I was monitored). It's been wonderful not having to temp in the morning!!

    I could have asked the same question, I've been temping since my BFP on Halloween. Ughhhh I just am addicted and I'm scared if that temp goes down. PP's are right though, I need to HIDE my BBT

    I stopped after I got my + HPT! I recommend you stop soon...it's just added stress and temps are not reliable once pregnant.

    After I got my BFP, I put the thermometer down and stepped away.  I didn't need one more thing to analyze lol

    I stopped temping months before I got my BFP.... I know that so many women have found success tracking their temperature, but I felt that for me, it didn't do me any good.

    With my first pregnancy I kept temping for a few weeks, but this time I stopped right away. I read that temps can naturally go up and down and I wanted to save myself the potential freakouts.

    I'm still temping daily. It reassures me to see the temp on my chart, even though I know it can fluctuate. I think I'd go crazy with worry if I didn't.
