I'm afraid I'm going to jinx my chances, but I'm going to ask for your input anyway!
The link to my chart is in my siggie if anyone could please take a look. I'm afraid to test because: A.) My temp today was taken after only about 2 and a half hours of sleep and I had to get up to use the bathroom (VERY badly) during this time; B.) For the past two cycles I've had a 14 day and 13 day LP, though before that they were all 15 days. I don't know if that means I should wait until tomorrow to see what my temp is like.
I don't have many symptoms. My BBs got sore and heavy later this month than previous, I've been very tired lately (going to the grocery store wiped me out), no AF type cramps during the second part of the TWW, and very hungry about every 45 mind-1 hour. These could all be in my head, of course. I had more symptoms in the first half of the TWW than the second! I haven't had any spotting or brown discharge since Wednesday. I've resisted the urge to test since that happened.
So, what do you ladies think? Even though I've already had my FMU, should I test today, or be a good girl and see what my temp does tomorrow before testing (if that's even an option)? I'm hoping I don't jinx myself by writing about this, but I wanted to get other opinions!
I woke up this morning to AF. I have to say I wasn't completely shocked. Even after 18 days of elevated temps I knew that not getting a positive at some point that I was never going to get one. Having said that, this is probably one of the cruelest jokes AF has ever played on me. I still held out some hope that maybe, just maybe I was one of the few who didn't register hCG properly. I didn't have any cramps until well after I'd woken up which only increased my hope. I'm a little upset and frustrated, enough so that I've decided not to do anything this cycle, possibly not any other cycle until next year. We're not actively trying right now anyway. I just temp to make sure I'm ovulating properly (which has not been consistent each month, though I'm happy that I have ovulated each cycle.) So, no temping, checking CM or CP, or looking for symptoms. I don't want anything getting my hopes up. This is the most disappointed I've been since coming off BCPs in December. I don't want another cycle to ever get me down. I want to thank all of you for your encouragement and support. You definitely helped me to not feel foolish for getting my hopes up. Even a lot of you were fooled, too! So, I'll be on here to support others and cheer you all on as you work your way towards your BFPs!

Thank you brie_91 for this fabulous siggy!!
Our TTC journey: 6 cycles Clomid, lap surgery/ D&C, IUI, 2 x IVF; 33 cycles- BFN.
IVF#1 (March 2010) Transferred two 8-cell grade A (perfect) embies- BFN and heartbroken.
IVF#2/FET#1 (Jan/Feb 2011):Transferred two (7&8 cell) grade A (PERFECT) embies- BFN again.
March 2011- February 2012: On BCP due to endometriosis.
March 2012- taking a few months off of BCP and we are TTC naturally.
We will re-evaluate another IVF w/FET try in 2013.
Yesterday was insanely busy around our house so I didn't test. We had friends and family over so there was really no way and I passed out on the couch at 10.30! So I thought I'd see what my temp did this morning before I tested. And it took a nosedive. I don't have any cramps, no discolored CM (though I have tons of watery CM), we even BDed yesterday (in between people being at the house) because that usually causes AF to show up, but nothing yet. Maybe I Oed later than what FF says (though I agree with their date from my CP and CM). So, since my temp went down so much, I'm not as inclined to test. And if i did O later, let's say CD 29, the I'd only be 14DPO and AF still has time to show up. I'm just confused right now!
TEST!!! Your temps are incredible - WAY above your coverline...I think you'll see good things - JUST TEST!! I came on here just to see if you tested yet...
I'm so nervous to test. I know my temps look good, but I'm soooo scared to see another BFN. But, I guess just for peace of mind, I will run on my lunch break to Wal-mart to get a test. So, I guess in a few hours I'll know!
Tonya, thanks for checking in on me! I really, really hope I get to join you in the March DDC!!!!
