Bweaver – Hoping you’re cured soon so you can move on to TTC comfortably!
Golden – You know better than to feel left out! Your chart looks GREAT! And the creepy stomach feeling sounds like a promising symptom!
Sugar – I don’t take dreams lightly! Sounds like your BFP is on the way VERY, VERY soon! When I have dreams like that, I try to go back to sleep so I can continue to live the dream. Sad, but…
Tani – You’re so lucky that you don’t have to temp! But it’s pretty simple how it works. Your monthly hormones influence your temperature to rise and fall. After AF, your temps will be low, because estrogen dominates at that time. Right around O, you have a surge (an increase of estrogen) which will cause your temp to drop or remain low. Then once the egg is released, progesterone dominates, which causes your temp to rise and stay high until AF. Once AF approaches, your temp drops again. So, it helps you pinpoint O based on the temp dip. You can definitely confirm that O occurred once your temp rises and stays high. And if you miss AF and your temps stay high, more than likely, you’re pregnant.
If you were temping this month, you would’ve been able to tell when you O’d based on your temp dropping then suddenly rising the next day. And then, the entire time you were wishing AF would come, you would’ve noticed that your temps were staying high, which would have been the #1 sign that you were pregnant.
