ttc #2 c2 cd21 7 dpo
I am so confused! I have been temping for 7 cycles, so I do have something to base my observations on, and I have reached the conclusion that I don’t know what is going on! Usually after ovulation, I stay around 98.1 or a little higher, sometimes as high as 98.6. I’ve only had a few instances where my temp has dropped, but then it went right back up. It’s never dropped below coverline.
Okay, so I took my temp yesterday, and at 6 dpo, it dropped below coverline. I was bummed. Then I remembered: implantation dip! When I went to the bathroom that morning, I noticed a very faint pink tinge when I wiped. It was barely there, but I know it was something. So, I was beginning to think that this was it! So, I looked forward to taking my temp this morning, and it *didn’t* go up! It stayed below coverline! I am looking at all the charts on the internet, and not seeing anything like mine. I don’t know what to think! This is just not like my body. So, what is the reason for seeing an implantation dip anyway? I thought progesterone was being produced regardless?
Anyway, I really, really, hope to see my temps rise tomorrow. I am trying not to be weirded out by my charting, but it’s so hard! I am going to pore through TCOYF in a few minutes. I’ll probably post a question on the boards here, too.
Oh, and here’s a funny one! I was so mad about the bum OPKs from Craig Medical (not that it’s their fault!) that I took an HPT today, to see if they worked or not. (Remember, I hardly saw a control line on those OPKs!) Anyway, the test was negative (obviously, LOL) but the control line was dark. So, I feel safe and ready for Wednesday. If I get a little too nutty I might even test Tuesday, but that would be dumb. However, I may do it anyway!
I don’t know when I will update next. If it’s positive, I’ll be busy finding a cute way to tell Al. (I think I already know!) If it’s negative, I’ll be bummed, and might not feel like talking about it. I might need a little time to recover.
My abdomen still feels heavy about halfway through the day. Other than that, I seem to be my normal self. I know, logically, that it’s really still too early to feel much of anything even if I were pregnant, but that doesn’t mean I can’t imagine it, or try to look for it!
Well, that’s all for now. Good luck everyone! Happy thoughts to you all this week!
