@Vettechgirl11 -- Welcome to the group!

Welp, I think I spotted some implantation bleeding. Very, very light tinge of brown when wiping (tmi) tonight. I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much, but I know what I saw.

About to get off work in a few (I work until midnight during the week) and I can't wait to crawl into bed. I'm soooo tired. I'm usually a night owl and can stay up past 3 AM, but I went to bed early last night and plan to tonight as well.

Have a good night ladies!

Thanks Burn2Ash!

Today I have been super sore in my uterus, like someone kicked me. I can't tell if it's ovulation or if I'm getting ready to have implantation. Either way I'm in a lot of pain and working noc shift tonight isn't helping....

@Burn2Ash. Oh wow. That's wonderful to hear. I woke up close to 5am and a few times during the night and when I temped this morning it went back down to 97.9. This apparantly seems to be the temps favorite spot to be at. So, maybe today could be my Implantation (providing the sperm met the egg); will have to check the tests out to see. Just checked the tests and the most common date is the 14th on a 28 day cycle. Last night, I had aches all across my belly and still gassy and bloated. Still a bit crampy today. I am trying so hard to be hopeful and not get discouraged. Keeping my fingers crossed that this is your month.

@Vettechgirl11. Welcome . Your symptoms sounds painful but I know what you mean. When are you expected to test? Sorry to hear about your previous misscarriages. I have never been through one (that I know of). Keeping my fingers crossed.

I'm doing ok thanks to Tylenol and I'm suppose to get off work soon. All I know is that this is a new feeling to me and I'm hoping it means that I'm finally preggers. How have you been doing? What DPO are you?

@Vettechgirl11 -- Fingers crossed for you! Keep us updated.

@dragonfly23 -- I hope it is implantation for you. You're only like a day behind me on your LP, so that should be about right. Though, you know, I did read that sometimes these temp dips don't really mean much until the shows. So, you never know. Hope we both get good news this month. This waiting is super nerve racking.

I came home about 12:30 AM, took a shower, and went straight to bed after my nightly oatmeal around 1:30 AM. I woke up at 3:40 with HORRIBLE indigestion. I mean...HO.RR.I.BLE. I felt like my stomach was rolling over in my body and it was churning, making me feel like I was going to vomit. I vomit RARELY. I think I've done it maybe 7 times in my life that I can remember. So, I got up and went downstairs so I wouldn't wake DH. I spent about an hour poised on the floor with the small trashcan from the bathroom ready to go. I never threw up, but I had nausea, indigestion, and heartburn for the entire time. I was just belching (tmi) hard and deep. It hurt so bad. Not sure what that was about, but, I have been pregnant before (didn't carry to term and wasn't tracking anything) and I remember having something similar during that time. Just really bad nausea, indigestion, and heartburn with no vomiting. Also, this morning, terrible lower back pain (close to right booty muscles) and when I wiped after my first morning pee (tmi) I saw another very slightly tinged smear; pretty sure that's blood. My temp stayed steady at 97.3, if that means anything. Also, super hungry! I'm never hungry in the morning, so, hoping that all of these are good signs. Bbs SUPER sore and AF is set to show Saturday or Sunday.

We shall see!

Is there a special thermometer to use for bbt? This may sound stupid but you check under your tongue right? ????

@JulieDR1981 -- You can get the BBT thermometers online (Amazon) or sometimes at the store (CVS, Walmart, Target). You can take your temp orally or vaginally. I hear that vaginally is the most accurate and picks up shifts easier. You can use a regular thermometer, but those aren't as sensitive so may not pick up subtle changes. Just Google BBT Thermometer and it'll take you right to where to find them.

Thank you @burn2ash

@JulieDr1981. I take mine vaginally as they say people who sleep with their mouths open, it lowers their temp.

@Burn2Ash. I hope you are right about Implantation. So, tomorrow, my temp should be up, right? I didn't get any morning sickness with my first pregnancy and hope I don't with this one (if that is the case) as I don't like being sick. With the stomach rolling, that was what mine sort of felt like last night as there was no gurgling noises or anything like that. Did you temp today? I didn't have a chance to take a look at your chart.

@JulieDR1981 -- You're welcome!

@dragonfly23 -- I did temp. It's holding steady at 97.3, which I've heard is common. But, I've also read that it doesn't mean anything. Maybe it'll go back up tomorrow? I dunno. I just know that I'm not feeling great today. I don't like feeling sick either. I would do almost anything to not throw up; I hate it. I just feel super off and have looser bowels (sorry tmi) than normal this morning as well. I think the serious heartburn and indigestion is a serious sign that something isn't the same, just not sure if it's what I think it is, or something else. Only time will tell.

The frequent urination has subsided a tad, but now I have all these other things. I'm just hoping to make it through the work day. It's going to be a long one.
