Hello Ladies...
This is my first month for TTC and it kind of wasn't planned. We knew we wanted to start but I didn't chart this month. With my last pregnancy I did chart and was successful. AF is supposed to arrive tomorrow or Tues. I did start taking my temp on CD 20 just so I can get used to doing it again. My temps have stayed around 98.1-98.2. On CD 25 I went to 97.94 and then CD 26 it went to more to 97.64. At this point I am thinking AF is on her way. This morning on CD 27 my temp went up to 98.21, which is the 2nd to highest temp so far. Why did it dip like that and then go back up? What does this mean? I did take POAS yesterday morning, CD 26, and it was a BFN. My periods are very regular. I am always start on the same day every month. I tried to post what charting I have done for the last week but I can't figure it out. So what do you guys think?

JM may not be letting you post links yet. Our spam filter sometimes gets carried away. Once you have a hundred posts you should have no problems. To post your chart go to Home page set up and they have a copy and paste code now for sharing.

As for your temps, it is hard to say what is going on since you started charting so late in your cycle. It could be you ovulated later than you think or it could be normal. My chart last cycle fooled me by taking a big dip and then two temps way higher so I thought AF wasn't going to show but then she did.

This is one reason I like charting. I hate getting to the end of my cycle and not knowing when AF will arrive.

I hope you will stick around. We would love to have you on the board. BTW, we have some concentrated baby dust going around on this board. I swear every day we are getting bfps around here!

Thanks!! I used to be apart of JM back in 07. I got pregnant and was apart of the July 08 DDC but lost my little girl at 27 weeks. My hubby and I have decided to try this one more time. I had a hard time coming back to JM because it brought up a lot of old memories of being pregnant. I am OK with it now....still hard....but ok.

First of all, I am soooo sorry about your loss. I can't imagine how painful that was.

Secondly, it is really hard to imagine this for me without a visual. lol If you could somehow post a chart.. I know you said you were trying and it wouldn't let you. But I would need to actually SEE it to give an opinion.

Oh Melissa (((((((((HUGS)))))))))) I am so very sorry for your loss. I know JM is very supportive but can completely understand your need to stay away.

My chart is now apart of signature. Just remember that I just started about a week ago so not a lot there. My chart from when I got pregnant last time (stillbirth) is also on my homepage of FF. I am ready for my next cycle so I can see when I am ovulating.

Okay, it is really hard to tell, I think the next few days will give a clearer picture, but it looks like - with the temp drop yesterday, and it rebounding today - you may have O'd yesterday.. what was your cm like? How long are your cycles normally?

My CM has beed creamy to watery. My cycles last 28 days. Since my stillbirth which was 14 mos. ago, my cycles have been regular. As far as ovulating, couldn't tell ya. I am ready to my next cycle so I can see if I am ovulating. Never had a problem w/ it before.
