When it dropped but not below the cover, the day my period was due, I took it as a sign to test and it was positive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/while-ttc-did-you-continue-temping-during-the-tww#post-388783 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 11:18:22 +0000 dagret 388783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I temped during the TWW but gave myself a break during AF. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/while-ttc-did-you-continue-temping-during-the-tww#post-388762 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 11:12:24 +0000 Foodnerd81 388762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BKCaribBaby: Yup, I test even b/f AF is due, because most people will get a BFP by 14dpo, it seems, and AF still wouldn't be due for another 2-3 days. And I'm impatient. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/while-ttc-did-you-continue-temping-during-the-tww#post-388693 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 10:51:38 +0000 BKCaribBaby 388693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: Yes, you're totally right! I should have mentioned that. My LP is/was short (it got even shorter before we started TTC), so that time frame worked for me. I also purposely waited until my period was really late before I tested. I know many test at various times throughout the TWW. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/while-ttc-did-you-continue-temping-during-the-tww#post-388690 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 10:50:32 +0000 Shutterbug 388690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with @.twist. - this month my chart did the same thing (gave me CH then took them away). If you find it's driving you crazy maybe stop, but I like to have all of that information, so the positives outweigh the negatives for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/while-ttc-did-you-continue-temping-during-the-tww#post-388680 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 10:46:21 +0000 Foodnerd81 388680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BKCaribBaby: I have a long LP and it's been 18 days before-- totally thought I must be pregnant, but nope, just a freakishly long LP. But for most people, yes, it would mean you are pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/while-ttc-did-you-continue-temping-during-the-tww#post-388678 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 10:44:59 +0000 Foodnerd81 388678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do, so far (I think today is the beginning of my 2nd TWW). But, I'm less strict about it-- like maybe I don't on the weekends if I was out late, if we go away for the weekend I don't bother. Since you have been doing it for 4 months already, you probably have a good idea of what your chart usually does, so if you skip a few days, it wouldn't make much of a difference? If TTC takes a long time, I might stop once O is confirmed, but I don't know. I like having a lot of info. So, maybe I would just skip the weekends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/while-ttc-did-you-continue-temping-during-the-tww#post-388674 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 10:43:43 +0000 BKCaribBaby 388674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I kept taking temps until about 19 DPO. For me, it was one of the first signs that I might have been pregnant. After reading TCOYF, I knew that 18 days of high temps was a pretty good indicator. After I got my BFP, I took it three more times (not on consecutive days) and then had to stop because I was making myself crazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/while-ttc-did-you-continue-temping-during-the-tww#post-388668 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 10:41:03 +0000 chibee 388668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do temp during the TWW - i thought about not doing it this past cycle but I was too curious, and wanted to have a complete chart to compare future ones to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/while-ttc-did-you-continue-temping-during-the-tww#post-388666 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 10:40:22 +0000 .twist. 388666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started my first cycle on Oct 22. I got my cross hairs yesterday and I took my temp this morning and the cross hairs disappeared. so... maybe it's good to keep temping just in case? I dunno.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/while-ttc-did-you-continue-temping-during-the-tww#post-388662 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 10:38:13 +0000 lawbee11 388662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Today is CD1 of our last cycle trying to prevent pregnancy. It's also my fourth cycle charting. Once you started TTC, did you continue temping after O was confirmed and you got crosshairs? I know I will be curious, but I also don't want to read too much into my temps. I also think I will be anxious, so I'll wake more often in the night, toss and turn, etc. and that could lead to artificially high temps. If I decide to stop temping after O, I will have to make DH hide my thermometer! What did you do? Did anyone do both and prefer one over the other? Thanks! </p>
