Trying to Conceive Forum

Hi there. I just need a few expert eyes to take a look at my chart and let me know what you think about if my temps are rising enough for me to possibly be pregnant. I know y'all will probably think I'm crazy, but I am 15dpo and I have not tested yet. I am absolutely terrified to get a BFN.

It is so depressing to see that darn negative test month after month.

My husband and I have been trying, but it was more like we weren't preventing. But we've been "not preventing" for like 5 loooonnnnnggg years, so we went to an RE to have some tests run and all of my levels are good, my HSG showed no blockage and basically we were told we had unexplained fertility. So I started temping and I realized I o'd a lot later than I thought. As you can see on my chart, this month it is very obvious I got my O date correct, on CD23. I just thought my temps would get much higher if I was pregnant. Normally, my LP is 12 days, so I am technically about 3 days late. Just want a few opinions. Thank you all so much!!!!!

Oh, and my symptoms so far have been, mild nausea from about 9dpo - 13dpo, but that has subsided for a minute. I have some dull cramping and heavy bbs. Actually, I don't really have that many symptoms, compared to every other month where I swear I'm preggo based on my symptoms, and it turns out it's :af:

!! So I guess I'm feeling a little different this month.

OMG are u guys serious? It looks that good? I was sooooo thinking this couldn't be it because my temps were just slowly rising or whatever and they didn't have another obvious temp shift. So let me ask a question, and I promise I will test (although it will probably be tomorrow, not tonight). Doesn't a LP usually always stay the same? It doesn't vary, right? I guess I'm so used to getting a BFN that I'm certain there is SOME reason why my LP is longer than normal this month (and I can't wrap my head around it might be b/c I'm pregnant). I don't feel like I have it in me again to get crushed with a BFN!!!

Thanks so much for the words of encouragement. I keep waiting for AF, but not one single sign of the witch!! TMI WARNING ~ I even felt a little CM today and I thought for sure it was her, but went to the bathroom to check and nope!! FX that this is really it for me.

Yeah, they *say* it stays around the same length but personally I have had 18 and 15 day LP's :P

Waiting on your +HPT!

I think it looks very promising! How is it you haven't POAS yet? Ha!!! I'm so stalking you!!! FX!!!

Have you tested yet?!?!? My goodness that chart, you HAVE to be pregnant!! 18 temps above cover is pretty much always pregnant!

Well, I have no idea why I wasn't, but I did not test, and ended up starting AF on 20dpo. I don't think I misread my O date. I have a pretty clear shift, and even a dip in temp right before my O. I never did test, I was going to wait until 21dpo. Heartbroken yet again. We have been not actively "trying", but not preventing for 5 years now. I started temping and realized I O late in my cycle. My LP is usually around 12 days.

I will say that this AF wasn't as heavy as usual. I have horrendous AFs, I have adenomyosis, which is similar to endometriosis. I have very heavy and painful AFs. This month I cramped ALL day - and I mean the most painful horrible cramps I've ever had, but no AF on 19dpo, but didn't start AF until the next day. So who the heck knows what's going on with me.

I've never gotten EWCM before, so I'm going to try to use pre-seed this month and see if that helps? I'm open to any other suggestions. Thanks for your support everyone. This is sooooo draining.

I'm sorry I didn't see your update until now

Darn AF! Looks like you are charting again, so FX to you this cycle!!! Are you trying anything different?

Your temps look awesome! :test:

by **vwillis623** » Mon Aug 01, 2011 9:02 am

I'm sorry but I am a HUGE whimp when it comes to testing!! 5 years of BFNs will do that to ya! Although, my chart is pretty this month. :mrgreen:

You know, we didn't do anything different this month b/c we had some really stressful family stuff going on with my DH's family. Besides temp'ing, which I do b/c it is a habit anymore....

I O'd a lot earlier than usual - I usually O around cd 20 or later and I saw my temp dip on cd 16 and felt my O pains, so I made my DH bd that morning, so we only have that one time around O, so I will be very shocked if we are PG. If my temps are still high by this weekend, I'll probably test. I just now started feeling sore bbs, so I am not hopeful, even though my chart looks good! Gosh, I really don't mean to sound like a Debbie Downer!! LOL

I think your chart looks awesome!!:)

by **vwillis623** » Mon Aug 01, 2011 6:53 pm

Thanks girl! I am trying to remain cautiously optimistic!

by **hhurt** » Tue Aug 02, 2011 6:55 am

still looking good.. I think it looks good enough for a test...

by **vwillis623** » Tue Aug 02, 2011 10:18 am

I took my temp this morning in my Debbie Downer mode and was pleasantly surprised when it read 98.96. FF states that I went triphasic on cd27 or 11dpo. I promise I will test this weekend if AF doesn't show.

Oh, and my poor hubby told me he was ovulating last night...his little hint that he wants to BD. LMAO.
