Flu messsing with Temps and making it harder to symptom spot!

[worriedmum100]

I'm ill and a bit fed up and just looking for a little vent.

Have been trying unsucessfully to conceive DC2 for 10 months now. I am currently on CD10 and have been temping. But I came down with really nasty bout of flu on Monday and my temp chart now looks ridiculous. I got quite excited by the enormous leap in temp on Monday (from 37.08 - 38.20!) until it dawned on me that I felt like crap. I kind of rely on the temp chart to give me a heads up that I'm out before AF arrives (last month I got a sudden dip to near the coverline on CD13 so knew it probably over for that cycle) and it stops me indulging my obsessive need to PO[many]Ss.

I ache all over so can't decipher potentially pg related sore boobness to flu aches and violent coughing injuries. I feel totally wiped out but again flu or pg?

Also had to drag myself out of bed yesterday to go for a day 23 blood test to check for progesterone levels and nurse told me levels from last cycle all look fine. I know this is good news but it just makes me wonder all the more why I'm not pg.

Temp has dropped to 37.18 today but I don't think I can rely on temps anymore this month.

Just feeling a bit sorry for myself I guess.

Sorry for the long moan.

Nightmare situation Honestly? I think you need to give yourself and your body a break! Flu is vile, it will give you a temperature and may well affect when you ovulate as well. I'd abandon the charting for this cycle. Get yourself better and go for it next cycle.

Thank you. I've pretty much given up to be honest although op should have said 10dpo not cd10! So I think I managed to get ovulation in before the flu struck. Feel tiny bit better this morning I think. Thanks again for the reply.
