November testers!!!!!!

So I've been reading online about the possible reasons for a temp dip at 3 dpo and apparently it's possible to have implantation as early as 3 dpo???? That's just crazy! But i guess I'll have top see what my temp does in the morning. Anyone have any insight?

I don't have any insight but FX it's implantation

So frustrated. Temp is up again this morning. Been hoping that since the last few days
the temps were getting low that I'd be getting close to O but temp shot up again today. :/ I typically drop into the 96s for O and I haven't even dropped below 97.1 this cycle yet. Actually.....I've only just dropped below last cycle's cover line the last few days (and now it's up again). I've had oddly high temps this cycle.

At least now that I'm off Vitex, and my body is acting crazy (again), maybe I'll be able to tell my doctor in a couple months to run some tests. I don't want there to be anything wrong, but I'm suspecting my hormones aren't exactly where they are supposed to be.


junemomma I'd be upset too!! My cousin is a nurse and the hospital he used to work in did something very similar to him. He got scheduled every weekend, every day leading up to holidays and days after. They tended to flip flop him night vs day shift and went so far as to schedule him for night shift for several days and then have him switch to day shift the next day! That got changed when he threw a royal B**** fit (because he wouldn't have gotten any more than an hour of sleep between shifts) but still. So sorry you have to deal with that. I'm surprised they don't try to at least rotate your weekends so everyone gets a weekend here or there!

As for the temp dip - mine tend to go up and down after O and so I don't know if it could be implantation this early. Keeping FX it's a happy little sticky bean though!

Thing is we're only required to work 2 weekends a month which i don't like to begin with but i do it knowing that's part of the job. They never schedule anyone else every weekend like that unless they request it. I'm workers comp right now as well as I was injured on the job. I have a strong feeling a lot of this has to do with that. She initially granted 3 pto days i requested in December ( not over the holiday) for a family vacation but then retracted them and scheduled me different days.

Good morning everyone! 3 DPO here. Had a pretty good size temp dip this morning though i think it's too early for implantation so I'm not really sure why I'm getting it. Still above cover line. Having some mild dull pelvic ache and still gassy. But that's about it. Woke up an hour before my alarm this morning.*

I'm so stressed right now. Not baby related but job related. I went online and saw the preliminary schedule for end of November till first week of January and i pretty much got screwed. They scheduled me the day before thanksgiving and the entire weekend after thanksgiving. The two days before Christmas and the day after Christmas. Plus I'm working every single weekend over the next two months except one. Now the only reason i even have Christmas and thanksgiving off is because they do a yearly holiday tracker and those aren't my holidays this year or i think they would've scheduled me those too.*
I started crying yesterday after seeing it. I can't go without seeing or spending time with my family for two months PLUS work every single day leading up to and After the holidays. I've already put in applications elsewhere for PRN positions. I'm hoping someone comes through because i just cannot do this anymore on my unit. I work in a hospital. I know nurses are needed and I'm understanding to that but not to screw one nurse over to work everything no one else would ever be ok with doing. Sorry vent over.

3dpo is way too early! It's usually just a fallback rise, it happens around 2-4 dpo. I used to get them almost every cycle, and definitely got them when I got knocked up, FX it means a nice BFP for you!

Thank you all for your input! hopefully it'll jump back up tomorrow morning!
So just finished my ortho appointment for workers comp.
Was just approved for more physical therapy and my follow up ortho appointment is the day before thanksgiving. I'm still on lifting/pulling/pushing restrictions.

Im considered part time so I have to take what they give me at work. They have me jumping from evenings to days this schedule which can't be great for my TTC journey and also working on different floors when I have a permanent floor. So exhausting. Had to have some words with my manager about that one.

I guess it's what we signed up for when we became Nurses, June? Crazy hours and working holidays.

I'm 6dpo today. Had a .2 degree rise today which kind through me off as usually I am higher one day and lower the next. Still have creamy cm which isn't uncommon for me, but no other symptoms really

Trying not to get my hopes up this cycle. Have to calm the crazy. Luckily I have been working a ton so I have zero time to symptom spot.

Hi ladies! I got my positive OPK this morning (even darker than last night's which was as dark as the control line). I'm planning to wait until AF is due to test. Hopefully I can wait that long! After stressing with my first failed pregnancy when I got a positive at 8dpo, there will be no more of that!

Dtrisha - Hey, we're tww buddies! I'm 5dpo today too. I'm usually really gassy too but I haven't been this tww. Having trouble with feeling sad and emotional, dang hormones. Also the last few mornings and yesterday afternoon too I've had a bit of a stuffy nose and sneezing. But I am not symptom spotting this tww because I always have different symptoms and the one bfp I had, I didn't feel any different lol.

[Dtrisha]

Ksquared- yay yay! I love buddies I only have noticed me being wet down there. I'm usually pretty dry. So hoping it's a good sign. But who knows. I don't want to get my hopes up. Last pregnancy I was super tired, bloated and kinda warm. Haven't noticed anything like that yet. I hear every pregnancy is different so will see. I'm just sooooo impatient. Do you think you'll test Halloween? I know I will lol. I probably won't see anything but it's worth a shot
