Was hopeful until this morning

lovemybellag · June 2014

I was feeling hopeful until this morning with my temp drop and FF taking away my CH. I've had two nasty looking charts and two BFNs (I tested this morning anyway). Hopefully next months charts will be better. I was excited because I thought we had had a good amount of sex and was starting to feel like I did early on with my first pregnancy ( tired, dizzy, stomach soreness ) but I think it was all in my head. Anyway can give me any advice on my nasty charts? I was a little worries about traveling 6 hours in the car pregnant and with 1 year old but not anymore. Although now I am more disappointed for not being pregnant.

Orally, yes around the same time but so eti es I forgot to switch the time when I input

You have lots of open circles as well as many missing temps, FF gets confused when there's such a lack of consistent info.

I'm the absolute last person in the world who should try to interpret a chart but I wanted to offer hugs

I temp the same time every morning but don't enter it until hours later, when I'm actually awake. If it's just a data entry issue, you can go back in and make the time either N/A or the same now, to get rid of the circles (just scroll through with the arrows). Might help FF a bit.

eta wow words are hard.

I'd definitely suggest correcting the time issue next cycle for when you temp/how you have ff set up. Inconsistent times and lack of previous months cycles doesn't help ff "predict"/set chs. Set a time as default and don't change it unless it is more than an hour outside of set time and/or less than 3hours sleep. Best wishes

Just like these ladies have said, you have too many missing temps and open circles from temping at different times. I keep my BBT and phone right by my bed so I can wake up at alarm, temp, record and then snooze if I want to. Also, my BBT recalls the last temp taken, so if I don't record it's easy to do later. I know BFNs are very discouraging, but try not to stress or get down on yourself. Once your cycles level out and you get the hang of charting, it'll get better.

PP's have pretty much said all I would have already stated, but if I were you I might try temping vaginally next cycle. I temped orraly at first and my chart was all over the damn place. Temping vaginally really made a huge difference, and I was able to notice an actual shift in temps, where I hadn't been able to when I was temping orally.

Thanks ladies. I'm sorry I'm having a bit of a big letdown. It's rough because no one knows that we are TTC in real life. Due to our problems with conceiving DD1 we have decided not to tell anyone even when people keep commenting and telling us when are we going to have another. I have no one to talk to about the disappointment about not being pregnant (except DH) or about being scared and anxious about not knowing whether we can have any more children. I just wish I could talk with someone in real life about everything...about the disappointments being scared etc. at least I have you ladies. I was nervous about being pregnant since we are going away in a few weeks but now that I am not I'm more disappointed about not being pg. I'm worried how I will react if my SIKs announce they are expecting before me and as well worried that like the first time I will get more and more upset and angry as each month passes and I don't get pg. I'm probably putting the cart before the horse since I dont know for sure if we will have problems the 2nd time around but I'm trying to prepare myself. Sorry for this random vent I just needed to get it out.

@lovemybellag‌ I agree with others, it's hard to tell if you O'd or not. I would keep temping and try to take it at the same time.

I'm sorry things have been difficult and stressful for you. We also aren't telling anyone IRL and now it makes things hard because we have started IF testing. sometimes I want to tell ppl but I'm not ready yet. Maybe you could try talking with a trusted friend or counselor? my RE offers support groups to attend, I might go once we have testing completed. Good luck!

@slappalicious‌ I think it will be helpful hopefully since we aren't planning on telling anyone unless we have very serious diagnosis/need to go to ivf. So far this RE offers many other services also, acupuncture etc. I think TTC can be so hard to decide what and who to tell!

edit: autocorrect changed ivf to I've!
