The estrogen thing...I know if after you've Ovulated, it's not uncommon to actually had a dip between 3-5 days and it's because of an estrogen surge too. I had to look it up at one point.
But yea, what CC said sounds right. Unfortunately to get a decent understanding of what's "normal" for your body temp wise, you have to start temping right from when af stops to when it starts and be consistent about it the best you can.
Trying- I can't believe af came!!! Booooo!! I'm so gutted for you! I really thought you had it this month. Well up and on to next cycle!
CC- Your chart has it's dashed crosshairs. I think they're only dashed because of the info you have down for you cervix. Probably confused it a bit. But it does look like you O'd this cycle!! Exciting!
Snd-- Yea, I was pretty tired with my last one too. The difference is, I worked afternoons and didn't have a 4 yr old to chase after, so I got to sleep whenever I wasn't at work. Was great!! Some how, the first pregnancy is always the best. Can JUST focus on yourself.
We told DD the other night about the baby. Well, I think she'd been picking things up the smart little girl. When I picked her up from daycare the other evening, she was patting my tummy and saying baby. Totally took me by surprise! So DH and I decided we'd tell her the best you can a 4 year old, that night. She's super excited, but, only as excited as a LO can get really.
