Okay, last month my cervix was VERY VERY LOW pretty much from right after O until af showed at 8dpo. With the exception of last night, it's been medium (almost but not quite high). Also, my temps seem to be higher this month since O... I'm fairly confident I'll be getting a bfp (because my dh has declared me "pregnant" and he's amazingly accurate) BUT ... I'm afraid becuase so far since the birth my lp hasn't been long enough.. seems like a progesterone defficiency, which I KNOW can be normal and will work itself out as my body regulates.. but.. I dunno. Paranoid I guess, because I have my hopes up and it would suck to be let down, ya know? Also I had TONS of creamy af most days after O last month, and not so much this time.. more sticky and not a lot.. I read that too much creamy after o can be from too much estrogen rather than progesterone..
Just need some reassurance or something. Do these things sound like a good sign? Can't tell? Any opinions please!

I don't know how you would know what was going on with your progesterone levels without some bloodwork. I wouldn't read too much into CM. I have taken progesterone supplements with all of my pregnancies due to recurrent miscarriage and can't really say I have noticed any difference in my cm. I don't know.
I think your chart is looking great though!

Well, short lp is a pretty good clue, since that is *generally* caused by progesterone deficiency. I've also heard lower post-o temps.. and if you look at my chart last month, they shot up.. but then they started going down slowly until finally af showed up with a 7day lp.. someone told me that that is not a good sign, and generally becsause of P.. and the cm thing.. I don't know where I read that, but it was sometime last month. I don't know if it is 100 percent true, it's just what I read somewhere. I dunno. I DO know my chart looks much better this month than last! LOL

Actually I have read that creamy cm is a good sign. I know lots of gals, myself included that have had a lot of creamy cm before a bfp. I would not consider that a bad sign. I think that is a good sign!!!

You should just stop stinking worrying! How is that.
Seriously I think you are worrying way too much. You have a really good shot at things and your chart looks great!

Did I mention I'm a virgo? I think I'm hardwired to worry too much, about everything! lol
Yeah.. I see your point.. overall I am very optimistic. I think that's what makes it hard, actually, that I am pretty sure I AM pregnant, so I'm anxious to test and worry about the "what if I'm not, my hopes will be crushed." Darn dh, mentioning this so early!

Hey virgos are my friends. I am a leo. I know some other virgos and you are so right about the worrying. Now stop it already!
