I am currently seeing a fertility specialist and they told me that it is best to wait until period is missed with blood or urine tests, yes a blood test will tell you sooner, but the baby still has to implant before levels will rise, yes you tested to early! Keep your head up your not out until AF comes watch your temps if they stay elevated that is a really good sign! If they crash, then your probably out this month! GL!

Hi Dexter11!! Thanks for the info and good advice!! Keeping my fingers crossed the mean old witch doesn't show :-)
I think I was too eager because of the temp drop and rise at 6dpo... Silly girl :-)))

All of those symptoms are unfortunately the side effects from the rise in progesterone. Wait a few more days and test with an HPT with first morning urine.

A rise after a dip, especially at 7dpo, could easily be an implantation. Whether you're pregnant or not you've got progesterone, so that's not a good answer. Why not hope for the best? You can hope as easily as you can be bummed at this point.

Thanks ladies for the help!! I'm still honing to hope but keep my "eagerness" as bay until AF arrives/ is MIA. I never realized how much I'd read into symptoms. I'm trying to be good but boy oh boy does the hope and desire for being pregnant take over!! Fingers crossed and baby dust to everyone x

Whoops, meant * clinging to hope*... Can I blame hormones on predictive text :-)
