Are you talking about diverticulitis? That I don't have, but I am diagnosed celiac and lactose intolerant. Not good when I spent 3 weeks eating cinnamon toast crunch with regular milk and fast food.

Now I know night time temps dont matter but I take my temp at night a few times a wk just to see (lol) and its always NO higher then 98.6 no matter what I do before taking my temp and just now it was 99.57. I'm hoping that's some how a good sign that my temps are truly in the higher range than usual (FX its for pregnancy!) Aiden didn't have a high temp at all and I feel fine besides headaches for the most part and my throat/cough but I dont feel like I have a fever but who knows I guess. FX tomorrow a.m my temp will be on the high side still

Jess, I have no experience with that but I hope everything is ok!!

And I'm glad to see my dh isn't the only baby in here haha

Good thing aiden doesn't have a fever hope he's feeling better now.... Can't wait for an update in your chart, praying it goes as expected... My cold hasn't gone away yet and woke up again sweating and have a headache. I temped 3 times this morning (5 mins apart) trying to see if there's any major gap and i got 36.3,36.4 and 36.3 so im putting on 36.3 to be more conservative aside from it's my first temp. The last one i tooked it without a blanket on since the first one.... Here's hoping it stays that way, i'm more concern about my succeeding temps since i'm nearing my expected date.

Fx'd to you Mary....

I started seeing brown spot again only when i wipe last night and this morning. I really hope it's not af coming and it's only spotting related to my temp dip yesterday. I found this countdown of when implantation might occur after putting my ovulation date and it gave me 9dpo as most common with other symptoms like cramps/spotting/temp dip. All this happened yesterday to me i really hope it is. But who knows, i usually spot before af comes.

FX!!! Ur temp bounced back up today like I thought it would FX very tight those are all implantation signs for u! My chart is still in that higher triphasic range but it did drop a little. We'll see what it does

I just hope i didn't see any spot near my expected period, coz that makes me think af is on her way...... I'm more concern about the temp tom, feeling like it's gonna drop.....

Thought you're gonna test today?

FX'd you get your bfp....

 

[mdscpa]

I think i'm out, i just checked and see bleeding.... Worst thing confirmed, 9 days LP. I really need to get checked and find answers how to lengthen my LP. Will keep on lurking and see for your bfps ladies....

 

[aidensmommy1]

I actually just tested and it was bfn. Well it had my famous frer indent/evap, whatever it is! So I have a feeling that my mini temp drop today was just the start to a real drop. Almost all the charts on FF, ppl were getting positives within 1-2 days after they're chart went into that new triphasic phase (for example, that'd be a usual 1-2 days from 8dpo on my chart) And with Aiden i had a super early bfp. Really I just feel out because I know there isn't much of a shot for me at the moment any how. But it was nice having an exciting chart finally after all this time . I already knew id prob have to wait at least until late July, early August for anything to have potentially worked on my tube so here I go back to my good stress free NTNP mode. I know today is only 11dpo and there's a Chance ill get a positive still but my odds are so soo small that its very unlikely. It really was fun to have some excitement with my first some what pretty chart (idk how its going to end yet so I can't fully say its a pretty chart) lol. I'm excited alot of u will be testing soon! I wont be testing again unless AF is a no show on Wednesday. FX for everyone. Good luck and Tons of

Oh no I'm so sorry...try a b complex every day, that helps a lot of ladies lengthen their LP (b6 is the vitamin that does it, but they say to take a b complex to balance it out).

i read alot about it might as well try it but will try to get an opinion first and get checked so we'll know our odds of conceiving. I just don't understand why i had high temp today (unless it's my pre o-temp since it's the first time i chart. So that drop yesterday was my clue that AF is on her way. Also i can't figure out the dip at 4dpo and brown discharge as well..... I'm starting to hate my body. I talked to DH that i will discontinue taking fertilaid, ever since i started that i had a lot of brown spotting compared to previous cycles when i only have it a day or two before AF, i am irregular but i think this medicines messed it up way tooooooo much......

 

[aidensmommy1]

I agree with wishing. I didn't use the b-complex but I used b-6 and while I was taking it my LP was 15 days . (that was just one cycle of taking it and my LP went up by 2 days). Also, a small dose of vitex can help. 40mlgs/day is what I took because I have a pretty normal cycle and it actually helped my cystic breasts immediately which means it helped balance my hormones. It will ALL NATURALLY balance out ur hormones to make your estrogen and progesterone both a healthy level. Figured id throw that out there too.
I'm so sorry AF showed and ur LP wasn't quite what u were hoping BUT it was ur first cycle charting and who knows, maybe u really oed like the day before u started temping making it so FF didn't really catch it. After charting all cycle next cycle, u may get better results.. Good luck hun!

Thank you for all the input. I will definitely tell this once i get checked and see what else they can say. At least now, i got a temp at the start of my period. I'm still debating with DH about fertilaid, since we know it might take awhile to balance my hormones upon taking its only been 2 months, and based on their site it might take at least 3 months to see the effect.

Sorry msdcpa, I hope the doc can help you figure out your LP... I agree you might want to chart one more full cycle and maybe just try the B-complex (I highly recommend New Chapter brand)... maybe also try drinking green tea... this way you can take your charts to the doctor and have a more concrete picture to show him/her. Otherwise they might just say, well you aren't 100% sure of a short LP because your chart is incomplete. I hope your chart was wrong this cycle- even just 2 more days of LP would mean a normal LP. From what I hear (don't take my word for it tho), I think progesterone cream is probably what the doc would start with to lengthen it, and actually you don't need a prescription for that, but I don't know if it's something I would do on my own without consulting a doctor. Also I wanted to point out that my temps seem to stay high until the day of AF, and last cycle I was sick so they stayed SUPER high all through AF. Temps can be confusing, and last cycle I was even wondering if the bleeding wasn't AF because my temp was so high- but nope, I was just sick. So definitely keep temping throughout AF to see which day it drops so you know what to expect next time. Also pay attention to how much blood you have, because it is possible to bleed during pregnancy and it is usually a little less than normal AF, but not always. I kinda never believe I'm not pregnant until the next month's ovulation- LOL! I'm a nut. It's not over until... Next O! lol. That's not really true but that's how my brain works.

Mary, it does sorta look like your chart is on its way to lower temps, but we can't count you out yet! I agree with waiting to see if you miss AF

Wishing, your temps are a little more stable now! I hope you either get O or AF soon, so you can be done with this indecisive cycle!

Jess are you feeling better? I'm sure a diet change will help you, celiac is so touchy. Is yours not that bad? I have a friend with celiac who cannot eat a crumb of gluten without feeling like total crap. Atleast they are coming out with better options now for gluten sensitivity, and although most people are BSing about having gluten sensitivity, those diagnosed with Celiac are really benefiting from having those options!


AFM, I woke up about an hour later than usual today- just decided not to set my alarm because I got in so late last night... I had a gig at Ellis Island and it was great, beautiful view, and I got to see Nigel Lythgoe give a SUPER awesome speech about keeping the arts in schools. It was a great surprise. I love that guy (he's a judge on So You Think You Can Dance). I totally played piccolo for Nigel Lythgoe. Hahaha. Going on my resume right now.

Happy Mother's Day to you all. Some of us may be waiting to conceive our first take-home baby, but we will get there. Hopefully this time next year we will all be celebrating with our babies, whether in our bellies or already born! Can't wait for that day

I hope your right that maybe due to missing pre-O temps cause FF to give me short LP. I will try my very best to get my everyday temp this time. Due to my frustrations, i bought a 1-year FF membership coz i feel like it's gonna take long before i see my little baby.....
