@Ninni84. I agree with you on that when it comes time to AF coming on or going off is easier to find. I just feel like crying and that is usually a tell tale sign that AF is coming. If thr temps jump up tomorrow then that could have been implantation. If my temps are still in the 97's then I am pretty sure that I am out and will jump over to the August forum.

Good morning, hope everyone is well.

Dpo11 for me, had quite bad cramps last night, a really restless night and feeling quite off this morning. A bit of nausea but I usually have that a couple days before AF so could not mean anything.

The one thing that has stood out for me this cycle is the on and off cramps since 2dpo. Usually it doesn't start until a few days before AF.

Question for those who track bbt - some nights when I have bad sleep I just temp when I wake up in middle of night, not knowing if I'll manage the 3 hours of uninterrupted sleep between then and my regular temping time. I do then temp again in morning. Does anyone use the bbt converter for cases like this, when temping at different times, or do I just use the one from the usual temping time? I tend to do the latter, even if that was not taken after 3 hours of uninterrupted sleep. Hope that makes sense!

7 DPO today ...sigh.... the wait is a struggle every month.
Took a early test (10Miu strip test) with FMU and it was negative . Trying again tomorrow.

@ElkHH. I have used the BBT adjuster on the weekends when I wasn't setting my alarm. I remember last cycle I had cramps since ovulation but no symptoms. I hope this is a plus for you with your symptoms.

@Ninni84. I would wait another day since you tested today. Would hate for you to poas if you weren't pregnant, unless you are a poas addict then by all means lol.

I am 10DPO and had my temp drop yesterday to 97.8 which tells me that I am not pregnant this cycle. This morning it went up to 97.9 and feeling kind of crampy and cervix feels open. After checking it, I had horrible stomach pains and some pains in my left side. Last night, I had what I thought was a gush of fluid that wasn't watery. Yesterday, my DH and I BD but no insemination but I used preseed but not internally so I am pretty sure it is not that as it had no odor. With my temp rise a little bit, do I stand a chance this month. Kind of worried that I am out but will deal with it if AF shows. Good luck everyone. I will keep you all posted on my situation.

@dragonfly I have read before that it is possible to have lower temps for 2 days, before it goes back up more, so there is always a chance until AF shows!

I just had the teeniest spot of pink when wiping...but then when checking internally no further sign of bleeding. And CM dry again...

But I feel like this happens every month, I think its IB but 2 days later AF shows...so again, trying to not get too excited! Really driving myself crazy this month...the things I have googled...

@ElkHH. Oh, I wasn't aware of that as all I heard was that once the temp dips then the next day it should rise. It did rise a bit (97.8-97.9) and my pre o temps is roughly 97.9. I do feel kind of different today like a cloudy head and my sides hurt a bit and some minor cramping. Did another cervix check and I had to reach my finger way up (sorry-tmi) and no sign of anything. Still watery-creamy cm. I hope your symptoms don't turn into AF. I only had that happen once and then AF showed a few days later. Was so sad as I have never experience IB, if that is what it was.

@dragonfly I don't know anything about temps buts you're not out until AF shows her ugly face. FX for you this month!

AFM, not much to report. About half way through this wait 6dpo and I'm not pulling my hair out just yet. Been feeling "icky" not sure if I have a stomach bug or ate something my body doesn't agree with, stomach ache all yesterday and the poops today (TMI sorry). The the regular dull cramps and gas.

Ladies. I posted a picture of cm that just happened to me. Is this IB bleeding? Please let me know of your thoughts.

@dragonfly. I would say yes. And timing seems right for it to be IB. When is AF due?

@Patience820. AF is due Nov 10. I had a BBT drop yesterday and it didn't raise very much today so thought I was out. If this is IB then my temp should be in the 98s tomorrow. Still having a bit of brown blood and stringy cm. I felt just off all day. Even my comfort food (Big Mac) didn't taste good lol.
