15dpo, haven't tested since 12dpo (bfn). AF is due today so temp should have come down but actually went up by .2 again. OH and I went to the dr this morning to start the process of tests, etc. since it's been 6 months. They didn't want to do an hcg blood test since I'm not officially late but they did test for a bunch of other things including pcos which is good. My cycles are fairly regular (26-33 days) and my temps show I've ovulated every month since I started taking my BBT but I'm still worried about it so glad they're testing for it. For the past few months I haven't gotten my period until early afternoon so I still have a few more hours before I'm officially "late" but I'm really really hoping the :witch: doesn't arrive!! I'll probably test tomorrow morning even though I had originally planned to wait until Saturday. I'm going out of town on Sunday - flying to the East Coast - which I'm really worried about if I am in fact pregnant but it's for work so I don't have a choice.....

Anyway, fingers crossed!!!
 
these are good signs!!! and about the flying thing, i know people say its bad, but i asked my dr about that because i had my mc after i had flew and she said that flying wont cause a mc. not in early stages anyway...thats just what my ob said. hope everything goes well.
 
wht i have heard is it is safe to fly up until about 36 weeks...and then it could cause labor, not miscarriage :)
 
i hope so! Really kicking myself for not more specifically asking for a blood test this morning. They drew blood for all the other tests anyway....ugh. oh well
 
hopefully ur little bean is just taking his/her time to get all snuggled up for the next 9 mths! ur chart is great and af has yet to show her UGLY face! :)
 
Yea, I'm kinda wondering if I possibly ovulated on CD24 instead and the positive OPK was related to taking Soy? Then I'd only be 7dpo....

:sex: usually only hurts after ovulation and it didn't start hurting until CD28. I had TONS of creamy/lotiony CM on CD24/25 but not watery/ewcm. My post-ov temps between ovulation and the second rise are kinda similar to previous month's temps but if ovulation was actually at the second rise, they'd be nothing like previous cycles. So I guess I still think I ovulated on CD16 but really not liking I haven't gotten my bfp or af yet.
 
thats possible, but u had that huge temp drop on cd16 and temps have been up since....but u know ur body better than me :) ahhhh i know ur fustrated hun but dont lose hope i know its coming :)
 
Thanks babykiser. I'm really, really hopeful! I got my blood test results back from the dr this morning. We went for a "preconception appt" yesterday and I wish to god I had asked for an hcg/prengnacy blood test but didn't want to push for it since I wasn't officially late for af. My blood pressure (97/62) is really low which is normal for early pregnancy, TSH is normal (2.47), my FSH (2) is low for the Luteal phase but normal for early pregnancy, and my prolactin (15) levels are normal. They haven't posted the rest of the test results. I tested last night with yesterday's FMU and got a bfn but apparently hcg only stays in FMU for a maximum of 7 hours unrefrigerated and by the time I got home it had been about 12 hours so I still have hope. My plan is to test on Saturday if the :witch: still hasn't shown up. That way I'd be 18dpo from the first temp dip and 10dpo from the second in case I didn't ovulate until the second dip. Either way, I'm still starving constantly, temp is still up (98.0) this morning, 16dpo, and no AF.

Fingers still crossed!
 
the dr should have tested for hcg for you just because! lol!

in movies the lady always went to the dr for something else and gets a call saying they are pregnant lol.
 
lol, yea, seriously! I kept mentioning that my period was due yesterday and that it hadn't arrived in hopes that they'd toss in the hcg blood test but no luck! :(

The crappy part too is that if I test on Saturday as planned and get a bfp, I can't confirm it with a blood test until I return from my business trip so it would be the 22nd at the very earliest! I'd be 6 weeks along at that point...isn't there a 6 week ultrasound appt usually too?
 
aww i wish they would have given u a hcg blood test too!! but im glad u have a positive attitude about the whole thing! and yea i believe 6 weeks is when they would be able to see the baby during an ultrasound :) well once u get ur :bfp: (fx'd) they will ask when ur last period was, and they will probably schedule a regular appt and an ultrasound! im so excited to see how this all turns out, i know its going to be good :happydance:

i had my first ultrasound & appt at 8 weeks. keeping in mind i had gotten my + at 4w5d or so, this was a LONGGG wait... i have kaiser and they dont even confirm pregnancy with blood, just ultrasound. until then i just kept taking cheapie tests every few days to make sure it got darker, and stayed darker lol!
 
i dunno what it is with this soy stuff but its working for me....just got my smiley on cd15...didnt think i would O until next week!
