Interrupted sleep = slightly lower temp today

I am so mad today! Ok, I can't be all that mad because we found out that a friend of ours became a grandpa again today, but I'm mad because that was the final straw of having sleep interrupted to the point that I couldn't get back to sleep.

I did not have a solid 3 hours of sleep at any point last night, so I'm guessing that's why my temp is a bit lower today than it was. (Just a wee bit though.) I was SO much looking forward to see what my temp was going to be today.

Btw, I tested today, BFN, but I'm not giving up yet by any means! I'm only 10dpo so it's still early. Please send lots of dust!!

First of all, that is a puny temp dip so stop getting upset! It is still way above your coverline and it is very normal to see a temp dip around 10dpo.

I also want to bring something up that you should be prepared for. Your temp shift on CD40, even though I think it is right, there are several factors that suggest that it isn't. So I just want you to be prepared if you don't get your BFP. You didn't have a very strong shift on CD 40 and you still had fertile CM after that date so it is possible your o date is slightly off. I still think you definitely o'd, I just want to prepare you for the possibility that your O date is off. This isn't an exact science and sometimes when you see more temps another o date starts screaming at you.

Stay positive! Your chart is looking good!

Patty, Teresa sent me a message the other day saying that she too wasn't sure about CD40 being my O date. I told her that even though last month FF seemed to be right on target, that I wasn't as confident in it this month. So we'll see! If it doesn't happen this month that just means that next month (our 1st anniversary is Sept. 20th) will be a really fun month of trying!
