Very high temps. When should I test?

Just wondering if/when you think I should test. I'm currently 10DPO and these are the highest temps I've EVER had!! Is that a good sign?

I don't want to jump the gun, and in the past have been a little... pee-stick-happy :redface: so was wondering if my temps stay high (particularly this high) when you think would be ok to test.

Trying not to get my hopes up, but really :pray::pray::pray: for BFP this cycle. Have been TTC#1 for 4 years, and we're booked in for our first appointment with FS next Friday. :pray: for a little miracle this month!!

Hmm.... I don't know if having higher temps means higher hcg or anything so I don't know if you can test early. But, I would try to wait till at least 12 DPO, then you have a better chance of getting a bfp.
Wishing you all the luck in the world!!

It looks promising!!
Id test at around 12DPO :)

Hi Alla,

Your temps look good. Possibly triphasic? You are still on Day10 po so I would wait at least another 2days to test. Most HPK's will pick up results at early as 10D po but you could then have the disappointment of a chemical pregnancy (I hope that stays far, far, far away from you!).

Very excited for you. Hope it is a :bfp: for you. everything crossed for you hun. loads of :pray::pray::pray::pray: and :stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesgirl: :stickyvibesgirl:

good luck.

Thanks guys, was I was very emotional while reading your responses. I was hoping to hold out till at least the weekend, but wasn't sure if that was still too early.

Also, I've just moved back to AUS after living in the States for 6 years - is there a brand of test you would recommend? Can you get 'first response' in AUS? Might pick up something tomorrow and test on Sat am (DPO 12) if temps are still high. :crossfingers:

Thanks again for your support!! Now have to pull it together again before DH gets home...

first response is available here. You can get some from your pharmacy or safeway. ClearBlue is also a very reputable brand.digital ones tend to be more accurate if testing early. You can get a vapor line with the others which causes confusion especially if you are wanting an answer desperately. Don't need any ambiguities!! :D:goodluck2:

Hi Bub4Me.

I suggest giving it another two days until you're 12 DPO, I got a positive result at 10DPO but my 12DPO result was very clear.

The brand I highly recommend is Lullaby Conceptions which can pick up the pregnancy hormone at 7DPO in most people but I believe you can only get them on their website so it would take you a few days to get them.

Anyone else have a shop-brand which they can recommend??

Good luck and I cant wait to log on over the weekend and see some beautiful :bfp::bfp::bfp: flashing at me !!!!

Try not to get your hopes up. I compared this cycle to your last one and on CD29 you were only .1 lower so it doesn't look that much higher to me. I'd leave it another couple of days before testing as on your last cycle you started to drop from CD30. If it stays high or rises for a couple more days then go on and test.

Lullaby Conceptions have the most reliable early tests you can get IMHO. I got a positive on one at 10DPO (after a 6DPO & 7DPO implantation dip). For store bought ones the digital ones are good as they will say pregnant or not pregnant - no guess work. You might have to wait til your AF is due for those though, can't remember.

Best of luck for a temp rise tomorrow.

Hi, I agree with the other girls and would try to hold out until 12DPO. But, that's coming from me who is usually a POAS addict. This is the first cycle I managed to hold out until 12DPO, as usually I start around 8DPO, lol. I've found first response tests to be really good. While the other two brands I used gave me faint (but very noticeable) lines, the first response left absolutely no doubt :)

Good luck!!!

Thanks. Last night I had pretty much resigned myself to the fact that this month wasn't to be, considering Satya's comment, but I had another high temp today. Should I test tomorrow???

alla's WebCharts

Yep, definitely test tomorrow!

GOOD LUCK !!!!

I recommend Discover One Step tests. I got my first BFP at 10 dpo and then another +ve at 12 DPO. They give very clear strong lines.

If your temp is the same or higher tomorrow I would definitely test :)

Good luck, I hope that this is it for you!

Yep, if your temp stays up tomorrow I would test.
Good luck!!!!!!!!!! :crossfingers:

For sure. If you get another high temp tomorrow test away. If it's still high you are very likely to get a positive HPT. Good luck tomorrow.

Sorry to have put a negative spin on it yesterday, but I know only too well how easy it is to get excited too early. It took me 14 years to hae my son and countless amounts of two week waits - many where I thought things looked promising only for the temp to drop the next day. Just trying to balance things out a little for you.

Good idea Satya. Nothing worse than people telling you what you want to hear then getting a BFN (not that I've been in your shoes and had too many of them thankfully).

But, the countdown is on Bub4Me. Look forward to seeing your result tomorrow.....

cant wait to see ur test tomrrow.
i got my BFP at 11DPO

Satya- I understand. I wasn't particularly upset last night, just disappointed since I have been feeling (touch wood) like this was the closest we've been. Deciding it wasn't to be this month is a silly subconcsious reaction so that I don't get my hopes up too. Sometimes I don't have much confidence in myself when it comes to the charting, so thought you had a more experienced, realistic (since we've been TTC for so long) preception. Since we've had so much trouble, I was sure yours was the obvious answer.

We have been TTC#1 4 years and it hasn't (as I'm sure you can understand) been easy for me, particularly watching everyone else around me look at each other and get pregnant. I appreciate your concern for balance, and thank you for posting again today. :hug:

Well, I bought a clearblue digital test on my way home this afternoon, so will see how the temp is in the morning. Ooh, I wish I could test now. Going out tonight with DH, my brother and his girlfriend, so will hopefully get my mind off temps for a while. I must say, I was VERY happy to get another high temp today...

So I woke up this morning excited to temp and to test. Temp was down slightly, but I didn't think it was too dramatic. Tested and saw the painful BFN staring back at me. In reality, I don't think this is the month for me.

I'm a bit confused tho', becuase I didn't realise till late last night, but the program that I use to chart sent me the Triphasic message yesterday. With today's temp the triphasic is still there. I put in some dummy temps for tomorrow, and if your temp drops way down the triphasic message goes away, so technically the program still thinks I have a triphasic chart (so far). Are there any other causes for a triphasic pattern other than pregnancy? I didn't think there was.

I'm trying very hard to just enjoy the beautiful day and let what's going to happen happen. There's nothing I can do now but just wait, but it's hard, am having a rough day. DH is taking me to a cafe for lunch then we're going to spend the afternoon in the park since Brissie is having gorgeous weather today, so hopefully that will help me to relax.

Let me know what you think, but I've pretty much realised it isn't happening for me this month :crying:

Well I didn't get a +ive till 13DPO with both DD2 and this baby so dont discount the possibilty yet.

Didn't want to add this but some women have triphasic charts without pregnancy so triphasic really isn't an indicator of pregnancy.........Saying that tho, both my DD's and this baby had triphasic charts the month I fell pg.

Are you looking at many other fertility indicators? Like cervix? I did for this last baby and found that if I was preg my cervix is quite high during the luteal phase but if I wasn't it went quite low till just before AF came.

Best of luck, its wonderful weather here hey :)

Cheers,

Beck

I'm so sorry you got a negative result. I know how hard it is to get those.

I did have a triphasic chart once and I wasn't pregnant. Like you, I was so hopeful that it meant that I was, but I just wasn't. Apparently you can have them in pregnant and non pregnant cycles. The same thing also goes for dips that look like they could be implantation dips.

If the temp is a little lower then it's not looking good, but it's not over til AF arrives.

I started to get successful cycles after I cut out transfats from my diet. If you want some info on this PM me & I'll go into detail with you. Apparently too many transfats in the diet of a woman can cause fertility issues.

Satya, I'd love to chat more with you regarding transfats, but being new to this site, I'm struggling to work out how to PM you. Are you able to PM me, or could you please talk me through the steps?

I don't think you can PM when you are under a certain amount of posts. I forgot you were new. I'll just post it here.

If you use a search engine and put in transfats & infertility you will find lots of info on the link between the two. I can't remember how I even came across this info as it's not widely known for some reason.

They don't really know why too many transfats in your diet can cause inftertility but it seems to be the case in some women. It's believed that this is the reason that many women suddenly get pregnant after being on a strict diet even after many years of unsuccessful TTC. It's though that just 2% of your calorie intake being transfats can cause issues. For each 2% in excess of that raises the risk further.

As little as 4 grams of it a day can be a problem.

I didn't go on a strict diet and I didn't lose weight. I just basically cut transfats out from my diet as best I could.

Trans fats are in many margarines - but only minute amounts are in olive oil spread. It's in butter. I switched to olive oil spread. I always cook with olive oil anyway.

It's also in most store bought biscuits, cakes, slices, donuts and other such items. It can be in lollies and ready made meals. It is often in fast food.

A lot of products now list the transfats content on the back of the nutritional panel now so it is easier to work out which things to avoid. On some products it's listed as hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oil or shortening. Avoid things that have these ingredients listed on them unless the amount is very small. Some labels don't specify what type of fat the saturated fat is - I avoided those items.

At first it can seem a little daunting but once you know what to avoid it's really easy. It only took I think about 2 or 3 months of eating this way for me to start falling pregnant. Transfats are also bad for your heart so that's another good reason for changing your diet.

Thanks for the info. I didn't think my diet was too bad, but I'll look into it more. Generally we have whole meal toast and an orange for breakfast (and a cup of tea), and lunch is a salad of cheese, tomato, carrot sticks, snow-peas and some apricots (and lately a banana), then dinner is a salad of tomato, cheese, avocado, cucumber, carrot, red onion and some lemon juice and olive oil. We usually have meat with dinner, but something like lamb cutlets, a shared chicken breast or a small piece of steak, all cooked in olive oil. The weekends we go crazy tho', either going out for breakfast (generally eggs), or dinner (perhaps pasta if we're being naughty).

I will look into the transfats things more tho'. We moved to the States 6 years ago and I started having all sorts of health problems (including chronic mystery pain which went undiagnosed for 2 years, and had me bed-ridden for 10 months), and I always swore it had something to do with the quality of the food, even if we were trying to eat well. We only just moved back to AUS this year, so perhaps my body is also adjusting to the difference in food. I've felt A LOT healthier since being back home!!

Thanks for your support!! Going to FS on Friday too, so that will be interesting (I'm excited but very nervous!!!!).

Best of luck with your FS appointment. Don't be nervous. Nothing much goes on at the first appointment usually. Just lots of questions & they'll send you off for a stack of tests.
