Able to tell by temping..?? Confused...
Fri, 11-07-2003 - 12:43pm
I am currently breastfeeding and have not had a period, so this is why I'm not sure exactly how to tell if I could be pg or not...

I charted when we were TTC last time and got the hang of the temping thing and all and got a general idea of all the fertility signs, etc. So now, here's my deal...

Of course I don't know when my last period was since I haven't had one due to BF'ing. But, we did have a little "slip up" and over the next 2-3 days I noticed tons of stretchy, EWCM. So that made me think the timing was right. And now, exactly 2 weeks later I have been having some cramps off and on for 2 days, but no blood (and not expecting any because of the BF'ing). But I do remember with my last pregnancy that I had HORRIBLE cramps just a few days before I took the HPT. I really don't want to take a test yet but I was wondering if I watched my temp for a while and it never drops, could that mean anything or would it not matter because of possibly being anovulatory due to BF'ing?? So confusing... God knows I'm hoping I'm not...I love my son more than anything but I am not ready for another one quite yet. I'm probably just scared to take a test for fear that I might be.

Anyway, any opinions would be greatly appreciated :)
