Lurker with ? about rough night and temp

Hi,

I just started lurking and this is my first full month of charting my temp. But I have a question....I had a rough night last night, didn't sleep all the way through. My daughter was a little fussy, she never fully woke up, but everytime she fussed I woke up. (heard her through the monitor) she is 18 months old. Well, I took my temp at the regular time 6:15, but I do remember waking to go pee around 4:15 and my temps usually range around 98.3-98.6(after ovulation), well when I took the temp this morning, it was 98.9! Isn't that a little to high or did the restless night have something to do with it? I am on cd32. I usually start my period on the 20th of every month. So I am on day 15 past ovulation. I don't feel any pregnancy symptoms and by looking at my chart and according to FF(which I only used this once for the free 30 days) when I ovulated, we didn't BD at the right time. I scanned my chart and I think you can see it this way.....what is it saying? I need some proffessionals looking at it. I still could start my period any day, b/c I feel it coming. It's just not normal for me to NOT start on the 20th. Ok, I hope one of you stuck with me to the end of this. LOL and I hope someone can answer my question about the rough night and temp......thank you all for your time and responses. =)

Well ... honestly... It looks like a pregnancy chart! If you got 2 to 3 hours sleep before you took your temp then its accurate. I see where you o'd it looks like around cd 18 . Theres no way of knowing forsure andI have seen charts like this including mine and not be pg and charts like this that resulted in pg.I would test if af hasent showed in a couple of days ! Let me know how it goes!

psss... FF charts are not just 30 days . You have free VIP for 30 days thats just extra stuff you can still chart there the basic membership is always free. Go back to your account and put in these temps !!

Thank you, thank you, thank you. =) I did go back and chart those temps. I thought I couldn't go back...LOL You also made me feel better when you said you have seen charts like that and not be pregnant. That made my day. I was getting really nervous. I was telling someone else how since we have a history of taking a year for each of our pregnancies, that we werern't "officially" ttc, b/c we knew it would NEVER happen to us. So, see that is why when I look at my chart, I kinda know we aren't b/c of the day I supposedly ovulated and the days we bd. Here is my chart from FF and you were right about the day I ovulated....cd18.

but, I am gonna do like you said and if AF doesn't show up in the next couple of days, then I will test and will have to tell my dh.....yikes!!! LOL

Thanks for your help. =)

Ok. First, if you did not get at least three hours of sleep before you took your temperature, than it will usually be useless. But the temperature usually goes LOWER! And from the times you BD, you could get pregnant. (It's within four days of ovulation.) A second set of temp spikes would be a tri-phasic temp, which would mean you are pregnant.

I would ignore your yesterday's temperature, and go with what the next few days say. BTW, 18 days of high temps means your preggers!

Good luck. HOpe everything goes well.

Thanks Kate....now about these high temps...one part of the month FF told me I ovulated on CD 17, then they changed it too CD18, so I don't know if my high temps are 15 or 16 DPO? Why would they change the O date? How long can a LP be with out being pg? Or what is a normal LP?

thanks for any help.....here is my chart in case anyone wants to peek..;)

A typical LP would be 12-16 days. According to TCOYF, an almost surefire sign sign of pg would be 18 consecutive high temps (above the coverline).

Good luck to you!

It looks to me like you did in fact BD at the right time and that you could very well be PG based on the chart. Good luck!

Lisa I so hope your out there !! Um girl you may want to test if af dont show tommrow !! I have seen charts that went past 18 dpo and not been pg .. acctualy I think there is a few on FF ! It is a good indicator that if your temps stay above coverline for 18 days you MAY be pregnant. I would defintly test really soon !!As far as FF changing O date it happens to us all and really isent a biggy by aday or two! And your BDing is perfect for a pregnancy !! Please let us know what the final results are !!

Actually, Cali, according to TCOYF, eighteen days of high days is a CERTAIN pregancy, unless it is a chemical pregnancy or blighted ovum. In those cases hcg is being produced anyway, so one would get a positive test eventually. If one has high temps for more than 18 days than has onset of af, it is an early miscarriage. If this happens frequently, one should bring it up with their doctor. Because sustaining a pregnancy is their fertility issue, not conceiving.

I've never used Fertility Friend, so I don't know why it would change your ovulation date. Any answers, anyone?

Good luck to all. Sending any baby dust I'm not using....
