Very odd....

[dakini]

Ok, this is odd.

I have started temping earlier this cycle because I am getting to work earlier than before. When you look at my temps they are higher than my other 4 cycles post-AF...and if you adjust them, they are closer to my post-O temps...but I had AF, just an odd one (usually 3 days of heavy flow, 1-2 of medium, and 1 of light; this one, 2 days of heavy flow, 1 of medium, and 3 days of spotting). And, my temps would still (mostly) be around my coverline...

I think it's just wishful thinking but has anyone gotten their BFP with temps like mine? Keeping in mind that I am temping earlier than before...My charts are on the chart stalker thread.

I have also been having "cramps" most of this cycle, my skin was remarkable clear, but then on my chest I had recently had a bunch of little bumps break out. I have also had a few times where I felt a little nauseous...just wanted to run it by all of you and see what others think. I don't really think I am pg, but it keeps running through my head that my temps are high for this stage of my cycle, and fairly steady...oh, I have also been very stuffed for the past 3 weeks or so. I usually have a stuffed nose in the mornings, but this is lasting all day and I think at night I have been sleeping with my mouth open as my nose is stuffed, and this is unusual for me. (And this would make my temps low.) I have also been tired, but not usually extremely tired.

Thanks! Like I said, i don't think I am, but just wanted to see what others think. I have one friend (who isn't thinking of kids yet so just gets to hear me and learn things in case she starts to try) who says to test, but she only knows what I tell her...help!

Thanks. I don't know what to think...I don't really think it's anything. I think it's just my body regulating itself after coming off BCP. (And I think I've been trying to ignore/not think about everything I have to get done in the next few weeks...thinking about ttc is much preferable to all that!) I just wish I could temp at 630 and 730...that would be so much easier!

Dakini,

The cold/flu can make your body temperature rise quite significantly and this could have caused the unusual temperature readings.

Good luck hunf, I hope you do get your BFP.

Which cycle day are you on now?

I am on CD 12.

It's not that I have a cold or flu. I have had allergies most of my life so I am used to waking up every morning and about 5 minutes after I am moving around my nose stuffs up, and usually stays that way for about 30 minutes. Sometimes, I'll have a stuffed nose at other points in the day, but the morning is a for sure.
Now however, I have a stuffed nose pretty much all day long, but it's not a cold. Nor is it allergies. (They feel different. Hard to explain, but they are different for me.) I just have a stuffed up nose without other allergy or cold symptoms. I don't know if that would make my temps high or not if it wasn't a cold/flu. I'd think sleeping with my mouth open would lower my temps.

Like I said, don't think it's anything, it's just odd. All combined (the odd period, the stuffed nose for 2-3 weeks, the constipation (forgot to mention that - for the past few years never had this problem due to gallbladder issues and gallbladder's been out for just over 2 years, and suddenly, constipation for the past 2-3 weeks), the thirst even after drinking 8oz of water in a go, the possibly slightly higher temps...) it's making my poor little brain go - no, you had your period; but what if I am?; no you're not. and around and around in cycles we go...I'm sure it's nothing and I will O soon (usually around CD17-20) and then it's the 2ww.

Just needed to get it out there, IYKWM? Getting the kick in the head that's telling me what I should believe, and that's that I am trying to procrastinate to not think about everything else I have to do in the next few weeks...
