I would wait until at least tomorrow to test, though, just because early faint lines can be so anxiety-inducing.</p> <p>As for the symptoms... Without a positive test, they could be something or nothing.</p> <p>I feel you, though - the two week wait is so hard! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quadriphonic-chart-and-symptoms#post-2654343 Fri, 18 Nov 2016 11:48:05 +0000 DaniNae 2654343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just thought I would share my experiences. When I was pregnant with #2, I didn't chart, but I tested at 13DPO and it was BFN. I thought for sure I was out, but when AF never came, sure enough I tested again and BFP! </p> <p>With baby #3 I was charting and had a triphasic chart. I had seen people have them and end up not being preggo, so I didn't get too excited, but turns out in my case, it did indicate pregnancy. </p> <p>That said, symptom spotting is a double edged sword, because AF symptoms mimic early pregnancy symptoms. </p> <p>If I were you I would just get a bunch of cheapie dollar store tests and test each morning. I'm also a chronic early tester because I'm super impatient! GL! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quadriphonic-chart-and-symptoms#post-2626231 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 05:38:59 +0000 SweetiePie 2626231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think 8dpo is too early. I got all of my bfps around 8dpo (8 twice and 9 once). I would test if I were you. But I'm a chronic early tester, many would say to wait.<br /> Your chart looks promising. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quadriphonic-chart-and-symptoms#post-2626178 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 23:07:42 +0000 sapphire 2626178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't read through all this, and symptoms tend to be rather unreliable esp that early, but your temperature rise looks promising. No way to know except to give it a few more days and test... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quadriphonic-chart-and-symptoms#post-2626121 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 22:02:36 +0000 humblestumble 2626121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, this is our fifth month trying to conceive. I have a strange looking chart. Trying not to get my hopes up, but everyone around me is pretty much telling me that I am pregnant. This just made it stranger. I know it is not technically "quadriphasic" if that is even a thing, but it's interesting, nonetheless.</p> <p>Attached is my FF chart and it shocked me today when my temps went up AGAIN. I'm only 8DPO, so I know anything is possible, but it is improbable that I have already had implantation - IF I am pregnant. I also find it odd that my temps are so flat this time. They were very rocky before. I always temp at the same day, every day. One day in the middle of the week, i tested my arm just to see if the thermometer was broken - stuck on one number, and NOPE! It works.</p> <p>The TWW is so difficult, right?! I usually don't know my period is coming until the DAY of it. I usually only have 11DPOs, so we'll see. I am not taking an early pregnancy test. (took one that wasn't an early test and it was negative. Go figure. That was dumb of me.) I plan to test on Sunday or Monday. </p> <p>My symptoms, which I am kind of hesitant to call signs at this point, but they ARE getting stronger:</p> <p>light headedness (HOWEVER - I have fainted a LOT in my life. Already talked to doctors about it. It's "normal" for me. The difference is that I haven't felt like this in a LONG time - and usually there are more unpleasant signs to go along with my fainting spells.)<br /> Strong smelling urine (TMI, but this was only one day and I had not eaten asparagus - just strange)<br /> hot flashes at night (I am always cold, especially at night. but my face has been flush for about 3 nights)<br /> No appetite, I don't feel like cooking. (I actually enjoy cooking and have been meal prepping for a while. Nothing seems appetizing to me, but I eat because I have to. Did I mention that I also love eating good tasting food usually? Lol, who doesn't?)<br /> I have been ravenously hungry at night - with no appetite. My stomach growls even after I have dinner. (I just think this is really strange, and WTF? I don't really want to have a second dinner. I am eating enough calories for myself.)<br /> Sore nipples - Have had sore nipples since O. I usually just have sore nipples (maybe) two days out of a cycle. I haven't had them in a few months. Nothing excruiciating, so I am just thinking I am "back on track"<br /> I had a pain on the side of my boob (really my rib cage - I have A cups, ok? LOL) one day. That has never happened to me. Could be anything though. Tight muscle perhaps?<br /> Mood swings - but I tend to have these pre and during AF. This time, it's already lasted 5 days instead of the usual 2.<br /> Okay, so also, I have acid reflux and headaches - two things I never get. I have had a sour stomach for two days and last night it was hard to sleep due to reflux feeling. The first night I felt that, I actually felt like I was going to have to go to the bathroom. VERY unexpected.<br /> Lost 3 pounds in a month - I am only 5'1" and started out this month at 115lbs. (Yes, I want to maintain and possibly get to 110 for my petite frame, but it took me MONTHS to go from 125 to 115. about .25-.5 pounds lost per month WITH effort. This month, I have been a bump on a log due to work and night school. Again, WTF? Eating about the same amount of food. I log my food in myfitnesspal.com everyday - for two years actually.)<br /> So, here I am wondering if I am just getting sick and my temperature is just rising and my body is doing weird things pre AF, or if this could be our month.</p> <p>My husband threw up twice today and he is NEVER sick. EVER. I don't think I have EVER known him to throw up in the 6 years I have known him. Then I read about some weird syndrome some men have when TTC, or when their wife is pregnant and they feel similar symptoms. Odd. I didn't believe it and then a few family members enthusiastically confirmed that men can get sick too. WTF?</p> <p>Just wanted to share all of this. I'm patiently waiting now for the weekend and curious about it all. I am not as excited or hopeful as when we first started TTC. I just keep track of every little "different" thing now. I've already had false hopes a couple of times, so now I'm just doubtful of everything and analyzing it. </p> <p>The thing that throws me off is everyone else telling me I am pregnant. I don't want to accept it. I thought I was before and was wrong. The minute I told people I was dizzy, 5 family members said "You're pregnant!" When I told my best friend my "symptoms," she also said it sounded like it. Ugh. Everytime something is different for me, I always think "but it could be due to something else." I talked to my boss today who had to try REALLY hard to conceive, and she said when she was pregnant with one of her kids, she noticed signs at 6DPO, but she had told me that my signs are really early. She was doubtful, but said I am not out yet. She advised to wait to test and see what happens.</p> <p>I'm a bit off topic... the TWW will do that, I suppose. Has anyone ever seen a quadriphasic temperature chart?</p> <p>[attach=7674/16/odxsgc.499x600.b_G3Ndxi.png] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slow-rise-interpretation#post-2465188 Wed, 17 Feb 2016 21:15:47 +0000 Winnie13 2465188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely think you marked your temp shift right!!!

That definitely makes our timing a bit better - my husband was sick this time around and I was travelling for work the beginning of my window </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slow-rise-interpretation#post-2464918 Wed, 17 Feb 2016 17:00:53 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2464918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say 7DPO for sure, especially given your OPKs and the initial rise. My charts would often rise once and then rise again a few days later. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slow-rise-interpretation#post-2464912 Wed, 17 Feb 2016 16:58:32 +0000 Mrs. Marshmallow 2464912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi all, </p> <p>Back again this cycle for some chart interpretation. </p> <p>This was my first month using OPKs so I'm new to it all. </p> <p>I'm not sure if I am 5 or 7 DPO given my temps and OPKs. Thoughts? </p> [attach=6740/16/o2pp1l.600x600.image.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-reading-chart#post-584045 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 18:13:19 +0000 sslm 584045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with @Grace and @MrsH, I don't think you've o'd yet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-reading-chart#post-584032 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 18:10:51 +0000 MrsH 584032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think O might be delayed too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-reading-chart#post-583797 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 16:54:54 +0000 Grace 583797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yikes, that's angry chart. I'm going to guess that O hasn't come yet (because if you look at the "good" datapoints, they are similar, and I think the big drop was a fluke). Often when the chart is super wonky, it's because O will be delayed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-reading-chart#post-583795 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 16:54:01 +0000 red_seattle 583795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: I've been charting for a while. My O day varies substantially from cycle to cycle, (anywhere from Day 12- Day 18-- I don't have a "normal" O day), which as you can imagine, makes charting to prevent pretty tricky, but do-able. Other than that, everything tends to be pretty textbook. </p> <p> @Leialou: Hmm... that's a good possibility. My body has kind of had a rough go this month between getting very, very little sleep for several days when LO was sick earlier this month, and then being sick myself following that. I hadn't thought of the possibility of that delaying ovulation. I'm going to look into that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-reading-chart#post-583698 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 16:33:34 +0000 Happygal 583698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Red_Seattle: Hi! How long have you been charting for? Do you usually ovulate around CD 17? That's what I would guess for your O date this go round, especially since it's the only day EWCM is recorded. Minus CD 20 (which shows on open dot for a different time anyway), it looks like you're temps are on the rise.</p> <p>You say there are lots of things going on affecting your chart, so I don't know if I would be concerned unless it was an established pattern. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-reading-chart#post-583684 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 16:29:11 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 583684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I see what I would think to be ovulation, but your temps didn't rise. Have you been stressing about anything lately? Maybe your body geared up to O but delayed it for some reason. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-reading-chart#post-583670 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 16:25:20 +0000 red_seattle 583670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So-- just to explain, DH and I aren't TTC right now. We use FAM to prevent pregnancy... but I'm a little worried about this month. Usually my cycles are pretty textbook-- O days/cycle length varies from cycle to cycle, but my chart always shows a clear ovulation, clear thermal shift, basically all signs are pretty clear. </p> <p>This month has been bonkers--for a load of reasons, my chart isn't as reliable as usual. (Including, as you can tell, I haven't been able to take consistent wake time temps-- it's been between 5-7am, but still, not good for charting.) But what looks to me as my O day isn't being followed by a clear thermal shift... Do you see a pattern I don't? Can you tell at all what might be going on? </p> [attach=2130/13/mila69.471x296.Feb1chart.png]
