Of course, this morning (7 dpo) my BBT hit 99°F so, now I have to decide whether or not to fully track BBT tonight [to see if I have a 3rd high temp which will make my chart triphasic) or just let my temps record on OvaView and remain blissfully ignorant. It's a tough decision. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-2019-poas-summer-lovin-had-me-a-blast/page/14#post-2895540 Tue, 27 Aug 2019 01:13:57 +0000 paranundrum 2895540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kaohinani: I think that's a great idea. Your temps will still be recorded if you need to go back and check them, but you won't have to analyze them every day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-2019-poas-summer-lovin-had-me-a-blast/page/14#post-2895497 Mon, 26 Aug 2019 11:40:10 +0000 Kaohinani 2895497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@paranundrum: Thank you! I do need to set perimeters on my BBT tracking though because I become extremely obsessed. 🤪😂 I do agree that, knowing me, I will have a "woulda/coulda/shoulda" moment if I put a hiatus on tracking. 🤔 Perhaps, I wear my tracker (which automatically puts my temps into my OvaView app) and I do not check it or enter it into FF after tonight's temps? It is an idea and may save me from any reservations as to whether or not I should continue or regrets if I do stop. My only concern is my will power NOT TO peek 👀. 🤦‍♀️😂</p> <p>@yellowbeach: DH is a really caring, enthusiastic, and curious partner. I scored big time my second time around getting married! 👍 He nearly always takes atleast a minimal interest in whatever I am doing or what affects me. Right now, he knows he (and my kids) is/are my only TTC support outside of you all because we became frustrated with everyone telling us to just stop trying ... we decided to keep going but to keep everything to ourselves. It may be lonely at times, but we are "in it to win it 😉" together. Anyway, I really wish I could provide tips on getting a SO more invested in all things TWW but I guess I just got lucky.</p> <p>@bhbee: Thank you! My plan has been modified (* read what I have proposed while responding to Paranundrum). I just hope I have the self control to not cheat and take a peek before 12 dpo after tomorrow's temp! 🙄🤣 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-2019-poas-summer-lovin-had-me-a-blast/page/14#post-2895495 Mon, 26 Aug 2019 11:09:08 +0000 bhbee 2895495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kaohinani: that’s so funny and great!

The down side is I don't know my OV date and never know how many dpo I am.</p> <p>It's great he's interested and invested though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-2019-poas-summer-lovin-had-me-a-blast/page/14#post-2895455 Mon, 26 Aug 2019 05:34:33 +0000 Kaohinani 2895455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, I wasn't going to track BBT after yesterday... I failed, miserably. 🙄😒<br /> Before bed, DH asked, "Aren't you going to put your temperature tracker on?" (* Referring to my TempDrop) I told him I was going to take a break for 6 or 7 days and he responded with "Well, I was curious what would happen since it was down for a couple days." 🤦‍♀️ Since when has he had any interest in my BBT?!?! 😂 - Never ... that I knew of. Anyway, I humored him (and myself. I'm not going to lie. 😉🤣) and wore my TD to sleep. This morning my temp was the highest it has been all cycle at nearly 99°F! And TMI - I woke to copious amounts of CF. So, NOW, DH and I agreed that I will track one or two more days "just to see" if the BBT increases (triphasic) or falls. With that stated: I AM A FAILURE AT NOT TRACKING (&amp; DH is a terrible influence)!!!! 🙄😒🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️😂</p> <p>Chart below just because: </p> [attach=9021/19/pwuapm.451x600.Screenshot_20190826-062218_FF-Mobile.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-2019-poas-summer-lovin-had-me-a-blast/page/14#post-2895450 Mon, 26 Aug 2019 01:20:06 +0000 paranundrum 2895450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrschickpea: Congratulations! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-2019-poas-summer-lovin-had-me-a-blast/page/14#post-2895406 Sun, 25 Aug 2019 03:56:39 +0000 Kaohinani 2895406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LiliBillie: Of course you may join in!

Thank you. I am hoping that cutting back will help my anxiety [and obsessive nature] a bit.

I think I will actively track one more night and then stop as monitoring BBT becomes stressful for me. I spend so much time looking for trends and making certain my dips, drops, and rises are all in the "appropriate" places, that I drive myself quite batty 🦇🤪! I may begin temping again around 12 dpo just to see where I'm at but I haven't decided.<br /> Anyway, here is my current chart: </p> [attach=9021/19/pwr95j.413x600.Screenshot_20190824-150037_FF-Mobile.jpg] [attach=9021/19/pwr95l.600x355.Screenshot_20190824-150740_FF-Mobile.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-2019-poas-summer-lovin-had-me-a-blast/page/13#post-2895387 Sat, 24 Aug 2019 11:40:54 +0000 crazydoglady 2895387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kaohinani: Did your temp this morning confirm ovulation? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-2019-poas-summer-lovin-had-me-a-blast/page/13#post-2895386 Sat, 24 Aug 2019 11:40:32 +0000 crazydoglady 2895386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrschickpea: Yay!!!!!!

Being ill with gastrointestinal distress is the pits! 🤒🤮🥺 I am so sorry to read that you aren't feeling well. 😞<br /> To respond - Yes, illness can delay menstruation anywhere from a day to over a week. On the flip side, illness can also cause an AF to arrive ahead of schedule. Right now, it appears that you are in limbo. :bummed: Keep in mind that [early] pregnancy lowers one's immunity ... often a woman will fall ill (* symptoms can range from a stuffy nose or full blown cold to that of flu-like symptoms) around her missed AF. In fact, that happened to me 12 years ago. I thought I had the flu (* elevated temp/fever, nausea with vomiting, fatigue, slight body aches, and gastrointestinal "issues") and I missed my AF around the same time. 2 weeks later (at 6 weeks along), I tested BFP for my DD! Of course, sometimes illness is just that: feeling like crud. In your case, I hope it lends to something great. :goodluck: 🤞 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-2019-poas-summer-lovin-had-me-a-blast/page/13#post-2895319 Fri, 23 Aug 2019 08:39:50 +0000 mrschickpea 2895319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kaohinani: my period was due Wednesday but on Tuesday night I got a stomach bug and I'm still down fo the count 3 days later. I haven't tested yet (I have barely left the bed) Can a bug so close to period day push it back? I figured I would have gotten AF by now even though adding that to this yuck would have just pi**ed me off lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-2019-poas-summer-lovin-had-me-a-blast/page/13#post-2895315 Fri, 23 Aug 2019 05:36:05 +0000 paranundrum 2895315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kaohinani: We'll have a few rehearsals this weekend and two (practice) concerts, we have a competition coming in September and need to practice all we can for it. I hope we can pull it together, our overall performance has been in a slow downward spiral for the last couple of years. We used to win most competitions we entered, but our original conductor slowly lost interest and the last few years have been rocky.<br /> We have a new and very motivated conductor now, who shot a bit too high with our program last year and it wasn't very pleasant. It felt like we were failing in everything all last year. This year our conductor has made some revisions and at least seems to have learned from past mistakes. Hopefully it will be a better year. We've had two practices this week already and I feel good at the moment.</p> <p>About next week - I'll try to pop in as often as possible, but it might be not often enough.</p> <p>I need all the luck I can get! Thanks!</p> <p>Also, that's one impressive temp rise! I hope this is the one for you! :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-2019-poas-summer-lovin-had-me-a-blast/page/13#post-2895313 Fri, 23 Aug 2019 04:18:15 +0000 Kaohinani 2895313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3 dpo -</p> <p>Got my crosshairs for a CD 9 ovulation.👍<br /> My BBT rose 📈 by quite a bit today which is pretty exciting.
