Good Morning Ladies!

OK, now I really need your help! I posted 2 days ago about how my temps were going down and the consensus was that AF is coming. So I accepted that fact and have been waiting for her.

Note: before BCP my cycles were a regular 35 days - today is day 35

So here I am on day 35 and the last 2 days my temps have gone back up!?! So, am I back in the game? Could those 2 low temps have been an implantation dip or am I just being wishful? I did have some nausea a few days ago but it has gone away and now I just feel like AF is coming (that dull aching - no cramps yet) but there has been no spotting. I usually spot for a day before and then get it. I did have some very yucky stomach issues yesterday (sorry, I know TMI!) but I do often get that before my period. I’ve also had the worst chocolate craving this week and my cravings are always for salty snacks before AF – I’m not even a chocolate person!

Oh well – this 1WW feels more like a 3WW!! I’m going to try to wait until Sunday to test (18DPO according to FF) but I may do just play it day by day. I can’t decide, part of me wants to see if I can wait until Sunday and test my willpower and part of me just want to know!

Any info or advice on my ever-changin’ chart would be most appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

H.

Heather, I'm so glad your temps went back up!! Crazy! I'd say you're definately in the game!! IF the dip was really an implantation dip, I would highly reccomend waiting for Sunday...I'd be concerned that a later implantation would result in a later rise in HCG. You know what I mean?

I broke down and tested today. :( Not a good idea. I figured that since DH asked if I would go to the store and pick up the Matrix movie, I should buy some HPTs. It was a sign. Of course, maybe the sign I SHOULD have heeded was the fact that I couldn't find the one HPT that I had at home. Oh well. I will be testing again on Sunday if the hag does not show.

GOOD LUCK TO YOU!!!

Hi Kel,

Sory about your negative. That's a bummer - but it's still pretty early for you right? I guess we'll both know more on Sunday! I agree with you about waiting and later HCG levels, especially since there was no hint of a line last Sunday at 11DPO. Besdies, it can't hurt to wait - no one has ever died waiting to take a HPT. (although it feel like that sometimes!)

Ok - havea good day!

Thanks for the response,

H.

Just goes to show you, sometimes the dips turn into rises! It does look like AF was on her way, but not now. You can't really judge your cycles on how they were before BCP. Mine were perfect 28 day cycles before and are perfectly irregular now! Some women get back to normal, some women develop a new normal. The dip is supposedly caused by hormones and it has nothing to do with whether you are pregnant or not. I applaud you if you can make it until Sunday to test. It is the smart thing to do. If you can't hold out until then, just make sure you get a sensitive test.

GL,

Chanda

I think your chart looks awesome! I hope this is it for you. Best wishes for a triphasic chart and a positive HPT!

Hi Kel Chanda and Kristi (and everyone else!),

Thanks for all of your responses! I really appreciate them. I'm weakening on the whole waiting until Sunday to test. My husband - get this - ASKED me if I would test tommorrow if my temperature is still high. Can you believe that!?! I was like "Um - OKAY sweetie, whatever YOU want". He even bought me a box of FRE while grocery shopping today. He's a keeper! So maybe tommorrow will be a good day and I'll test postitive. I'm not holding my breath though.

Thanks again!
