Hi! We just got our BFP for our new years present......I am curious for those who were doing BBT did you stop once you had your BFP?

I only temped until I missed AF (BFP 10 dpo).  From everything that I've heard your temp won't drop to signal a loss until your progesterone drops far enough and by then it would be too late.

I did keep doing it for a preg that ended sadly -- and I wish I hadn't! For me it was nothing but stress (I would lay in bed, heart pounding the whole time I waited for the beep of the thermo, terrified it would drop), and it didn't do any good in the end.  I'm so glad I ditched it this time around. ymmv, of course.

Yes! Stop temping. I temped for maybe 3 more days just because it was cool to see it go up even MORE (which didn't happen with my other pregnancy that I temped) But then I stopped. You'll do nothing but freak yourself out every time there's a natural dip.  Listen to your body. That's a much more reliable indicator as to wether you'll miscarry or not.

I only BBT temped for the point up to O time. After that I gave up because after all we weren't really trying that hard to get pregnant that month. Yep. That's the month it happened with little to no symptoms and a complete surprise. :)
