abbysmom - ff still doesn't say I have a triphastic pattern. Alright, I need to relax.


well two days after my o pain I started this backaches & headaches, I became so gassy & most of the time feel dizzy. My bbs are so tender & sore these day. All these symptoms are still there .

Today is cd23 dpo11 ( I guess ) & I think my this cycle is going to be 28 day. So my af should be here by 10th or 11th.

I really dont have much hope for a bfp now. I think I am going to have af on 11th Crying

Star - it means having three temperature levels in the same cycle. Typically, you have a higher temp after ovulating than before. There can sometimes be a second temperature increase between ovulation and when af is due. That second temp increase could be due to an increase in hormones after implantation.

Anyway, my temp this morning was back down. It is still above my cover line but it no longer looks like a nice pattern. I started getting mild cramps today, too. I'm at 11dpo, so I could conceivably start af at any time.

Vol - I think the only way to get an increase in progesterone is to ovulate. If your bb's tell you there is progesterone in your blood stream, then you probably ovulated. Of course, i'm not a doctor.

Mg - when were you going to the doctor again?

your still above the coverline hun. Anything is possible. So be positive & keep that chin high.
Good luck. I am sending your way lots & lots of baby dust.

I'm testing saturday. That would be 15 dpo. I'm very tempted to test early, but I don't want a bfn, especially since you can't tell if it is a false negative.

My dh has a theory about the temp rise. The vent blowing out the heat is on my side of the bed. We have our thermostat set up to start heating up our room about an hour before the alarm goes off. The past two nights have been very cold here (not by alberta standards, but by dc standards). We had a heat pump on the first night and it blew all night long. Heat pumps blow air out at room temperature, so the air coming out of the vent feels cold. We should have had emergency heat on, which is just a fancy name for regular electric heat. So on the morning of the low temp, there was cold air blowing out of a vent close to where I was sleeping before I took my temp. On the second night, we had the regular electric heat on. This meant that I had hot air blowing out of a vent close to where I was sleeping before I took my temp. I'm not sure how much of a difference it would make.

I hope the temp is high because i'm preggo, but I have to stay realistic.

Shorty - not too sure about the vent situation, but I don't think it would make a huge impact???!!!
I'll be rootin' for you on staurday morning.......I hope to hear about a bfp from you!!!!!! Alberta winters are brutal......We're going through another cold snap right now, so i'm hoping it will end soon. I haven't seen the sun in days and it's getting very depressing.
Baby dust and a bfp to you!!!! Wink

I'm at work, but had to take a short break to post.

My temp went below cover line this morning. I did have to get up at 5 to use the bathroom, but that shouldn't cause such a big temp drop. Only one thing can explain it. Sad

work is really crazy today, with unexpected stuff flying at me from all corners. Evil or
Very Mad i'm really in a bad mood. I shut my door so i'd be in the quiet and would have an easier time focussing on the six projects open on my desk.

Af hasn't started yet, but you can be sure that if she shows up by this evening, i'll be relaxing with some wine. She didn't show up early enough for me to have caffeine at work, but hopefully i'll have a relaxing evening. Cool

okay, back to work for me.

No af yet, so looks like i'll be relaxing with some hot tea. I'm tempted to take my temp again just in case there was some other explanation for my low temp this morning.

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't posted much guys. I went to my doctor today. He doesn't think I have anything to worry about. He says he couldn't feel any cysts today so they are clearing up. I feel much better. I just get pains every now and then now. He told me to keep using ovulation predictor kits at least for the next few months or until I get pregnant because he believes that opk is more accurate than temping because so much can affect your body's temperature. Man, that was a really long run-on sentence. Anyways, I am so waiting for my lh surge which should be within the next two days. Here's to wonderful bd'ing and lots of baby dust!

Oh yeah! He told me to try 9-10 months of trying and then to come back in if I was not preggo yet.

I'm so happy for you, mg. I wish you the best of luck and lots of baby dust in your bd'ing this month! Smile

i started spotting two hours ago. It's extremely light. Af technically hasn't started yet, but it should come at any time. Sad most likely when i'm asleep. So, we'll have to try again next month. I'm sad and obsessed with figuring out if I can do anything differently. I just have to take it in stride and hope next month is my lucky month.

Baby dust to everyone!!

Shortgeek - sorry she came. I know how much that feeling sucks when you think it might be your time, but nope, here she comes again. For the past couple of months, I get so depressed and cry at every thing and wonder if it will ever happen. I usually snap out of it in a couple days - usually by the time she's gone. Now i'm just looking forward to trying again this month.

Good luck and tons of baby dust for this time around.

I am so sorry shorty! I know how that feels.

How is everyone doing today? I am just chilling at home. I told all my teachers that I wasn't coming back to school until sunday. I figured one extra day out of class wouldn't hurt that much. I have to go to work tonight anyways so I need my rest. :d

Shortgeek - i'm so sorry. I was really pulling for you. I am right behind you though. My spotting has increased and af is right at the door i'm afraid. I wish this were easier.
