I'm having numerous symptoms of pregnancy and my cycles are usually 29-30 days. I've had a few that have been 39 days (last cycle was 38) that has raised my average cycle length in FF, but that should correct itself as I chart longer. I had spotting at 13 & 14 DPO. Now there is no sign of AF. The thing is that this morning was my third low temp. They still seem to be steady though. We've stopped using the heat at night and last night especially I was having hot flashes.

Do I still stand a chance at being pregnant, or is AF just screwing with me? I had a negative HPT today, but did two OPKs just to use them up and those looked positive. I just don't know what to think at this point. I never get positive HPTs during the first trimester so it's hard for me not to be hopeful. The low temps were a pretty good slap in the face though.

Thanks in advance for reading/looking.

you may only be 14 DPO right now, I'd just wait and see what happens. IF af hasn't showed by 17 or 18 DPO then I'd go in and ask for a blood test

Are the low temps a bad sign? I found some charts where temps dropped lower than that fairly frequently and the woman still got a BFP, but I'm thinking that's probably pretty rare.

I'll definitely request blood work if AF doesn't show up soon. I couldn't get it done until next week though because of DD's school schedule. Yay waiting! Not!

Nah, as long as your temps are above coverline, you're good. I would definitely get a blood test though!!! good luck hon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks. I'm going to wait 2 weeks and if AF still hasn't shown then I'm going to request blood work. I just don't want to get it done again and have AF show up a few days later.

If you reach 18 DPO, that's a sign of pregnancy and I'd get a blood test!

[MamaAnna]

Why is 18 DPO considered a sign of pregnancy? Is that an abnormally long LP length?

Edit: Okay, I looked it up. If I hit 18 DPO and AF is still a no show I'll ask my OB about a quantititive. Thanks!

Well, the spotting is back. I'm sure AF will be here full force tonight or tomorrow morning. I just can't imagine it being implantation at 13-15 DPO. It's just too late for that. I'm going to call my OB tomorrow to schedule my July appointment. Hopefully we can figure out why it just isn't happening.

Thanks for all of your help and support ladies.

Edit: Yup, AF is here. There's no doubting it this time. That puts us into cycle 6 of TTC. We've been married 5 months today. AF can be such a *$&#! with timing.
