Chart Experts - Take a look at mine

ShaunaB · #1 August 26th, 2008, 11:27 AM

Hi all! I'm Shauna and my DH and I have been actively TTC since March (although we completely missed a few months since then). This is my first month charting. Because of this I have no idea how long my LP is.

All of my girls over on the NCB Board are very anxious for me to POAS. I wasn't planning on testing until at least tomorrow since my cycles since going off the pill in December have been anywhere between 25-34 days. I was getting a little excited because my temp was increasing but since Sunday it's been decreasing a bit. I'm wondering if AF is coming in the next day or so.

From you expert eyes, what do you think of my chart? Thanks girls!!!

The very fact that you are at 15DPO with high temps still, is a good sign! If you test with FMU I think you'd get a pretty accurate result... I'm hoping it's a

Please come back and tell us though!!!

Thanks Fiona! If my temp stays high or rises tomorrow I'll test tomorrow. Thanks for the encouragement.

Are you up yet? Did you test? I'm so excited for the outcome!!

coming your way!!!

A 12-14 day LP is pretty typical. If you hit 18 DPO usually it means that you're pregnant. Your chart looks good and I have seen lower temps like yours that spiked around the time of the BFP, give or take a day. Wake up and give us an update girl!

Late, late last night I started spotting. But it was dark so I knew it could still not be AF. All last night I was cramping. My temp stayed about the same today. It's really been at about the same spot for 4 days. I thought about testing this morning but wiped first to see what things looked like and it seemed a little redder. So I opted not to test since I would feel like a complete moron testing as I was getting my period.

However, if AF doesn't show up in full bloom today then something's definitely up and I will test tomorrow morning. I just went to the bathroom as I got to work to check things out and no spotting.

So keep those finger's crossed for me. Thanks!!!

Sorry girls, it's a BFN! Still no AF but continuing to have darker spotting. No cramping. Temp remains about the same.

I guess I just have a ridiculously long LP. That's annoying for the future since it means waiting so long to find out.

Obviously I wish the news was different but I'm trying to look on the bright side: I don't have to skip the rides at Disneyland on Tuesday!

It's not over until AF shows.

Hang in there!! There's a girl in TTC#1 that just got her BFP at 20dpo, and she had been testing about every other day up until then and getting BFN's. So, you're not out yet!!

Wow, that's amazing! It's all so weird because I'm having no cramping. We'll see what happens. Thanks girls!
