When will you stop temping

laura_j · November 2011

Or maybe you have already. But I cannot fight the habit of waking up and immediately taking my temp. It's the skeptical-pessimistic side of me that can't stop. Sort of like my way to double check and feel reassured that we really are pregnant.

Yeah, me too. I will probably stop after my 1st appointment (in 2 weeks). It is strong habit right now though lol

Well, I took about 9 HPT's including another one last night! My bathroom is like a graveyard for HPTs... My husband went into the bathroom last night and saw the HPT I had taken about 10 minutes earlier... He was like, "ANOTHER ONE?"!!!

Needless to say, I relate!

I'm still temping too. I'm not charting them though - just double checking to make sure it's still elevated.

I'm hoping to stop after my first appointment, but at the absolute latest the end of the first trimester.

I stopped temping the day I got my positive. There is nothing I can do if my temp drops so why worry myself is kind of how I'm thinking. And, I'm taking prometrium which I heard can raise your temp so who knows what my temps would be without it.

On the other hand, I am still taking hpts...my husband finally told me to stop today because "now it is definitely pregnant" (as if the other faint lines weren't positive...).

I am still temping and POAS! Its the obsessive compulsive in me. I am going to the OBgyn today to confirm pregnancy and run blood tests as I had a MC and I am high risk so I took another HPT last night just to make sure I was still pregnant.....

The weird thing was that my line on the HPT was way darker than even the control line....hubby said I must be REALLY preggers this time ;-)

That happened to me last night when I took another test too!! It was about 3 times darker than the test line... I was thrilled to see that... Congrats on your super dark hcG line!

I stopped temping two or three days after my BFP. I was afraid I would worry myself too much if I kept going. I will add that I'm still POAS daily since I bought a pack of 25 IC's on Amazon. I'm about to run out and then I'll quit Embarrassed

I accidentally left my thermometer at my parents' house during Thanksgiving. I POAS that night. When it came up positive, I didn't worry about temping anymore.

I stopped the day after my + HPT but I'm still testing too. My first day was SOOOO light and now I only have 2 IC's left so I figure I might as well use them haha they make me feel better when I see that line. and now that it is really dark I feel a lot better than my faint barely line!

After my hugs temp spike on Sunday morning, I put my therm away. It was just adding unnecessary stress that I do not need right now. It's hard enough being PGAL that temping would probably throw me over the edge.

I encourage everyone to do the same. I love not waking up at 4am just to temp!! I'm also not waking up throughout the night wondering if I've gotten 3hrs of consecutive sleep.

Amen to that, I have on occasion told my bladder to be quiet and go back to sleep because it would mess up my temping time. You have inspired me. I will put the thermometer back in the medicine cabinet so I will be less tempted.

I stopped when I got my BFP (DPO 12). I only took one HPT and it was positive, so I didn't feel the need to keep temping. It's nice to not wake up so early
