Anyone still temping after BFP?

Reyka9 · May 2012

For those of you who were temping while TTC, did you continue temping after getting your BFP? I stopped because I would stress way more about my temps now than i did before. Just curious what others are doing.

Same day BFP's and same due date!

I stopped temping. I'm already stressed out about it b/c my temps were super low with spotting for a couple of days. Then we left for vacation and I thought I was going to start AF so I left my BBT at home.

I'm trying not to assume the worst, but I'll feel better after I can call my dr and get on a progesterone supplement. I'm going to assume I was implanting and that my temps will work their way up. Ignorance is bliss. Sort of.

Fx for both of us!

I actually am, but I feel so silly about it. I stopped temping when I got BFP#2, and then two days later, I m/c. Someone on here asked what my temp did that day since I created a post to get some help from others. Anyway, that put the idea in my head, and continuing to temp has been reassuring for me so far. My chart has clearly gone triphasic, so temping reassures me the way POAS would.

Last cycle we were not TTC, not TTA because we were on vacation during my FW and didn't want to deal with temping and OPKs. I started temping again 3-4 days before my BFP and noticed they were a bit higher than usual which cued me to test. I stopped temping right then so I don't freak myself out.

During my first pregnancy, I caught my loss on my chart. During my second pregnancy, every slight change terrified me and I was insanely stressed. It's unreasonable to assume that just because you are pregnant, your temp will always be the same high degree. Maybe you are just cold...

Take my advice, don't drive yourself nuts and just put the stick down! "today I am pregnant and I love my baby".

I have continued to temp, it doesn't stress me out, it actually makes me feel better to see/know what is going on somewhat.

I know it doesn't really mean anything, but it is kind of my security blanket I guess...

I temped until my missed period and then stopped. I've been told (by someone who is pg) that your temps fluctuate some during pregnancy, and to see that every morning would make me crazy.

I stopped, because honestly I didn't feel like temping anymore. I also wouldn't know how to interpret the temps as much during pregnancy. I don't miss it so far!

I am, but I think this morning may be the last time. My temperature dropped almost a half a degree. My sleeping schedule was super chaotic last night (went to bed at midnight, up at 2, back to bed at 3, up at 5:30, fell back asleep 15 minutes later, and took my temp an hour later than normal at 7:30). Regardless, I am freaking out. It didn't dip below the cover line, but holy crap, a full half degree lower?!

I know, I know, this is exactly why I should have stopped. I didn't though and now I'm panicking. I wanted to POAS, but my FMU wasn't concentrated since I was peeing all throughout the night. I'll try later this afternoon.

Needless to say, I should stop. Only now, I think I'll want to temp again tomorrow to make sure it goes back. Thoughts? Is this big of a temp decline normal? I'm still over a .3 degree higher than the CL.

I stopped temping after my BFP simply because my goal was to temp and get pregnant and alas, I am. So why should I keep going? I'm trying to enjoy myself

Reyka9 · May 2012

Thanks, everyone! Yeah it looks like my instincts to stop temping today were good ones

I suppose it would be different if a potential loss could be prevented by monitoring temps, but since it's out of my hands I'd prefer not to stress about it.

TofuMama7 · May 2012

I stopped. I found it stressful trying to wake up at the same time every day and I sleep better now. (Or maybe that's due to the exhaustion from being pregnant...)

AliceKC9876 · May 2012

I did for the first couple of days after my BFP, but I think I'm done now! I may do it every once in awhile just to see though....

GL to you! And yay for due date buddies

I have the same due date as both of you! I have been temping but I think this morning was the last time I'm going to do it. I don't want to worry about every little temp drop.

Yay, EDD group hug! ;-)

Hey Reyka.

I continued to temp until my predicted period was late. Just in case. :P

arishia · May 2012

I did for about four days afterward my first BFP. But I can kinda tell that I'm feeling hot all day and all night anyway, so I don't feel the need to keep checking.
