dojo I had a temp dip today too, not as big as yours but still a drop, 6dpo here. Both too early for implantation. Just a bit odd I think. Mummyofonesofar Chart

I was givenmy 15/16 annual leave card today - I so hope I get to use the "M" for Mat leave in the next year.

Autumn thinking of you, really hope everything is ok. Like Purdey said it is really coming to have a little bit of bleeding especially when af is due fx for you darlin.

Sparkly Keep us posted! Good luck, thinking of you xx

Good luck Sparkly I hope the nurses help to put you at ease and you are relaxed enough to let them do hswhatsit.

Autumn I have no advice or experience I'm afraid but I will be sending positive thoughts your way.

dojo your chart's quite similar to mine. You are very hot though! I was googling implantation dips over the weekend too Blush, and Friday night was spent cleaning as my Dad was visiting! I had a big drop on Sat and then again on Sun but I think these were both invalid as I wasn't properly asleep in the run up to doing them. Today's was as soon as the alarm went off, and I had been soundly asleep and is high again.

I'm not sure what blood tests will prove. They will produce a beta number from the HcG but there's no way of knowing if the embryo is growing or not; HcG stops doubling quite quickly after four weeks of pregnancy. I agree, Autumn, that soaked pyjamas is not spotting, but there are plenty of women who bleed profusely - even bright red blood - who go on to have healthy pregnancies. I refuse to raise your hopes though - anything more than spotting is not generally good news in my experience, but we are here to hold your hand. Of course you are not daft - you are pregnant and naturally have been excited about your win. We are all rooting for you Thanks

Dojo, I'm sorry but I don't think you've ovulated yet. You already have two 'pot-ov' temps that are lower than the six immediately prior to 'ov'.

Pug, I am bamboozled by your chart. Not a fecking clue what's caused that bizarre two-day dip Confused

Woolly84 · 23/03/2015 15:39

purdey I am in awe of your temp chart interpretation skills! Grin
Autumn I'm so sorry for what you're going through, I really hope it's not bad news Flowers
sparkly hope all goes smoothly today lovely Flowers
So about a week to go until AF is due and I'm feeling reasonably calm, contemplating whether to test on day AF is due or wait until (if!) I'm late?!
Hope everyone else is okay x

dojo123 · 23/03/2015 16:02

thepug I've always woken really warm. My DH always says that I go to bed like an ice block and wake up like a sauna. My sis is exactly the same.

purdey really, you think I haven't ov'd. Ok I've told the DH we need to keep DTD and his response was "in for a penny!"
Buggered if I know what's going on this cycle but we'll keep with it and see what happens.
Good news about the high temp for you earlier at dpo11. Fx for you my dear.

ThePug · 23/03/2015 16:26

Purdey I missed your post about the high temp at 11DPO. Fingers and toes crossed for you. I suspect the "cause" of my 2 day dip is black, shiny and has a squashed face like a better looking version of Samuel L Jackson (or Mugabe my FiL reckons Hmm ). He was pottering around on both Saturday and Sunday mornings finding the perfect spot to vomit on the carpet. I suspected this and was listening out for him, thus not sleeping, then telling DH he had to get up as I couldn't "otherwise it would ruin my chart". It was already ruined methinks.

Woolly well done on staying calm. How regular are you usually? I'm planning to wait until I'm late as any sooner doesn't get rid of the hope that 'maybe...'

frogbubbles · 23/03/2015 16:58

Autumn thinking of you.

Sparkly hope the hsymothingamabob went ok.

Glittery your mantra rocks!!

12dpo here, achy type cramps, high temp rise again this morning, getting very very nervous now!! (Tmi to follow).... Been out and about and was really achy and ten felt damp was certain AF had arrived got home wiped and just very yellow cm?? Is that normal??

cymonsarah · 23/03/2015 17:08

FRog FXFX for you!!! Dunno what the yellow CM means but its not red!! Wink

Woolly84 · 23/03/2015 17:14

Thanks pug, I can be a day or two late usually so yeah was thinking same as you as to whether it might be better to just wait until I know I'm late. AF was a bit of a cow last month and decided to come on really slowly which confused me somewhat!
Oo frog good luck, as cymon says stay mellow of it's yellow Grin

Sparkly123 · 23/03/2015 17:24

Hi everyone. Will catch up soon just to let you know I'm back now in bed. I don't want to put anyone else off by going into lots of detail but I had a pretty bad experience. But given that Victoria etc said there's were fine I honestly think it's prob because of my other problems. Anyway I managed to do it and they got the pictures so that's the main thing. Hope everyone is ok will catch up soon .

Autumn hope you are ok. Thinking of you Flowers

dojo and others with temp dip not long after OV.. Did I post here or on April About this? I used to get this all time about 4/5dpo? I'll check where I posted and if not here I'll relay the info again.

Sparkly123 · 23/03/2015 17:25

*Their not there! Sorry. Can't stand the misuse of that! Ha

dojo123 · 23/03/2015 17:30

I love my family to bits but my sil's seem to be both fertile myrtles. One brother has two and I have just found out another is about to expect their second... (Grump face)

Sparkly123 · 23/03/2015 17:32

dojo re temp dips, I wrote this on April bus.... I used to always get a dip about 4/5dpo it's to do with the corpus Luteum. The dip is due to a drop in estrogen after the egg is released, and then the corpus luteum takes over to produce progesterone which causes your temp to go back up.i think it's actually called a corpus luteum dip?

dojo123 · 23/03/2015 17:36

sparkly thank you. I'll have a look into that. Sorry your hospital visit wasn't a good one but glad they got some clear images. Have some Cake to recover.

Sparkly123 · 23/03/2015 17:39

I know it's hard not to get excited about possible implantation etc too. The thing is you are never gonna know really are you until AF time. Just keep positive! But the corpus luteum thing is def a possibility too. My charts always had the same dip at the same point much like yours . They are different now since mc but I remember when I had the dips I worried about progesterone etc but then read lots of FF about this C L dip and lots of people have it so don't stress Flowers

DizzyMerry · 23/03/2015 18:09

Sparkly I feel terribly guilty now. My hsg was the most horrendous experience ever. They tried and tried but the catheter just wouldn't go in and it seemed to go on forever. In the end they had to abandon the procedure. I was later told that my experience had been due to endometriosis and from reading others experiences online I never came across any thag reflected mine. I didn't want to worry you but now feel immensely terrible. I'm so sorry Sad

Oysterbabe · 23/03/2015 18:15

Just back from a long weekend at centre parcs!
I've skimmed over the 20 PAGES of posts since I've been gone. Congrats to Mary and sorry about those AF has claimed.

Still a few of us left on the bus I trust? AF due on Saturday for me. Today I woke up to find some pale brown blood. Nothing since. I'll try not to get my hopes up re implantation! It is odd though.

pinningwobble · 23/03/2015 18:23

So hoping my dip today was an implantation dip...got a horrid feeling this month isn't my month though :(

mrsb0710 · 23/03/2015 18:27

sparkly Flowers Cake and Brew. Well done for getting through it, I hope they can get some answers for you.

I've shaved my legs and tidied up my lady parts for the dtd-athon. Not that DH much cares haha.
Come on egg! Been bloaty and crampy today so hopefully we'll catch it.
My ovia app is off on it's own tangent though with fertile days. Just going to stick with smep and OPKs I think.

frogbubbles · 23/03/2015 18:33

Thanks Cymon & Wooly I hope it is normal and nothing to worry over

PurdeyPie · 23/03/2015 18:45

Sparkly, your understated post screamed of pain to me and I am so, so sorry you have suffered. I prayed about it, too (sigh). Was it really awful? How long did it last? I feel so sad that you gritted your way through that when you were scared Sad

Thanks, everyone, for high temp-high hopes. However, I am very deflated after receiving my day 21 progesterone score: 23.4. I honestly do not believe this is an adequate level for maintaining a pregnancy, should one occur
