    Red face Not sure what to think of my chart - Using Vitex - BBW TTC

    Hello ,

    Im 31 years old trying to conceive our second Angel! Im a larger lady so Im not sure if that is causing some problems in the TTC RollerCoaster?

    Ive been using vitex for 2 months now. Last month my chart was all crazy this month it looks a little umm strange..

    I seem to have o'd and then my temp has been rising without any drops. Im wondering should I get excited or should I just hold my breath until af arrives?

    Please have a look at my chart, I have also made my other two charts available too..

    It looks pretty good! Looks like it's shifting up again which is what you want to see

    Vitex shortened and regulated my cycles too and I had a BFP in the 4th one. I think my charts have been lost now so I can't show you.

    Good luck

    Thank you Raven..

    Im still not sure about no implantation dip.. I know you dont have to have an implantation dip but I did a search on the charts in FF and most had something.

    Then I went to do another search and saw a chart like mine where the temp dropped the day before af arrived.

    I have so many mixed emotions.

    Fingers firmly crossed for a bfp!

    Your chart is looking good! I wouldn't be so worried about an implantation dip, not everyone gets one. Your temps keep rising which is the main thing. When I got my bfp, i was also taking Vitex, and my chart had no visible dip, the temps just kept going up.

    I also used to compare my chart to others in the gallery, and you know what i decided? Each chart is individual, so just because your chart looks like someones who got a bfn, it doesnt mean yours will end the same way.

    I have my fingers crossed for you that this is the one

    Question

    ok its a new day with new concerns. Now I read that your temp can depend on your covers you use on your bed when you sleep.

    So the last few nights (dd has been sick) I have been taking my temps when ever I wake up and again at normal time. So when I wake up early morning it lower then when I wake up at 5ish. So I have been using my 5ish as thats what FF says to do right.. Well now im starting to wonder if my quilt is making me have a higher temp?

    I know I shouldnt worry but I do.. Its too early to poas so I can only watch my temp.

    Funangel,
    Have you had the same quilt for this cycle?
    If things change in your cycle I would take that into affect for differences in your chart.
    Its looking great.
    PS You may have had an i/dip, but with different waking times it may not have shown.

    CBG: I think Im going nuts!! Yes its the same quilt but the temps are starting to warm up..

    Thanks I hope its good but you just never know right? Thats why I call it the rollercoaster ride. Emotions go up and then they go down.

    It is looking good.

    Be careful with Vitex. I had two early losses while using it (they could've been age related though) & then the first cycle off it I had a successful pregnancy. It's linked with early miscarriage (search engine Vitex & miscarriage & you'll see what I mean).

    Ok now I stuffed up, took my temp right when I woke up then grabed my mobile saw the time was 6:05 then I realised my DH was still in bed next to me. My heart droped and I turned around and flung the temomitor out of my month (by mistake) cos I thought 'oh ***k what is he still doing her, he should have started work.' my heart droped. I put it back in and it beeped. It said 36.62 then I put it back in and did it again and I got 36.87.

    Which one do I use now?


    satya: thanks for the info I did a few searches. If I am pg which I dont think I will wean myself off it.
