Higher BBT after BFN and stopping progesterone?

Hi ladies, I hope maybe one of you out there can shed a little light on my current situation.
So, I'm 20 dpo today. I took prometrium (suppositories) since 3 dpo till 15 dpo when I got a BFN (doctor told me to stop it). Now it's 5 days later and still no sign of AF! I know it can take up to ten days for some women to get their periods after stopping the progesterone, but what really is driving me crazy is that my temps have not dropped but have even gone up! I haven't tested again as I really can't stand another BFN, but I guess I will have to just to keep my piece of mind.
Anybody out there with a similar experience?
Thanks in advance!

Hi :),

I stop prometrium 3 days ago, so not quite as long as you. My temps, never go down until after AF starts (usuallly 3 days after AF shows up). Unfortunately, it can take 10 days for AF to arrive and yours temps may stay high until then. This can change from one month to another also (ex: for me, AF should have showed up today, but she didn't...). Sometime's, for women on progesterone, TWW doesnt stand for two week wait, it stands for three week wait...

Good luck :)
