Well another day of the same temp (97.9) so I went back to bed for a few more hours and temped again and it was at 98.6. I have no idea what's going on; so I wrote down the battery number to go get a new one and the lady wasn't sure which one it could be so now I have to take the battery with me. I also picked up folic acid. Cervix still feels soft with watery cm and boobs aren't too bad.

Good luck to anyone testing soon and sending baby dust your way.

@dragonfly23- Getting the folic acid is a good idea. My Dr had me start prenatal vitamins now because she said it's best to start taking them before you start trying to conceive. Temping is a headache isn't it? I keep doubting my numbers but even with the new thermometer they are staying what the old thermometer said too so I guess that's just how my body works....

@Prayingfor1. Yea, I think it's a good idea to start taking prenatal vitamins. Don't understand temping as I just temped now with both themometres and they both came out to 98.6. Anything new at your end? Still no AF? Hope you and your family are safe.

@dragonfly23- Thank you, we just had almost 2 hours of tornado warnings... We are doing fine though. No more bleeding after those 2 days 8/29 and 8/30. I'm still waiting for blood work results but I doubt I'll get those before Thursday or Fri at the earliest because of the weather. Right now I am acting as though I am not pregnant and am trying again. We will see what happens.

@Prayingfor1. That's gotta be scary. Never been or seen a tornado before but I have been in one earthquake in BC (Canada) when I was a kid. The weather is slowing things down for everyone. Are you planning on testing or just waiting till the results come back. I'm glad you aren't discouraged about it all.

Today, 6dpo, and so far my symptoms are the groundhog day temps, some lower abdominal cramps like AF. Left side pulling in the back. Some breast/nipple tenderness and I noticed a white patch on the right nipple. Cervix check feels kind of firm with watery lotiony cm and further digging around (tmi) got a glob of yellowy sticky cm so not sure what that could be. Expected AF is on the 19. Not sure when Implantation will be as I don't even know if I ovulated. Remaining hopeful.

12dpo, feeling so disappointed, starting to think that "positive" was just a fluke. Starting to feel my normal AF symptoms. I'm sure she's just around the corner.

Baby dust to all those testing soon.

@Tashuurr -- Thank you for the optimism. I'm trying to be optimistic without getting my hopes up.

@Prayingfor1 -- Gotta love those lovely spin off tornados Take care of yourself. We're bracing ourselves inland. Supposed to jump right into GA and the Carolinas, then into VA. We get some decent flooding here because we're right on the river. I've been praying daily for everyone in the path of this thing. Keep us posted!

@dragonfly23 -- I had the pulling early this morning as well. Very odd sensation; not sure if I've felt it before. I'm hoping it's a positive sign for us both. I hope the temp trend is a good thing; I'm really not sure about what all the patterns mean yet. I'm still learning.

@Patience820 -- Don't give up yet! A positive is a positive. And remember; you're not out until the shows!

I felt some weird gurgling earlier today for a few minutes, then it went away. It didn't feel like gas and was too low in my abdomen to be my stomach growling (I had literally just eaten too). Not sure what's up with that, but I'm marking it because it's a new sensation for me.

GL everyone and anyone else in the path of Irma/Jose, be safe!

@dragonfly23- At this point I am just waiting for the blood results, no point in wasting another test. I had a white dot on my right nipple last month too, do you remember me talking to you about that? Having symptoms so early sounds promising to me. Keep staying hopeful. I let the hope go that I conceived before. I should probably move on to the next forum but I figured I'd at least wait until the blood test confirms it.

@Patience820- Don't get disappointed yet. I know how you feel, trust me I do... But just keep being hopeful until there is no more reason to be hopeful.

@Burn2ash- I am only a couple of miles from the river and only a couple more from the beach and our canals are already overflowing. My yards are underwater and I was just wading through it trying to get my dogs to go to potty. Thankfully I have an old dog who is used to this and makes it easy. The puppy is terrified. I also have an old tree that we tried to get removed the storm but ran out of help so I have branches falling off it on my roof. Thankfully none of them have been big enough to cause damage yet. I hope that by the time it makes it up your way it's just some rain.

Thanks for the kind words ladies, fingers and toes are still crossed, but expectations are low.

And stay safe ladies!! My aunt just traveled by car from southern FL to MI and said it is a shit show out there. Prayers for those in the path of this.
