Hi sweetie,
i am sorry for the confusing info...Let me explain

if you have 18 or more consecutive high temperature about the ovulation temp with no signs of period, it is almost alwasy an indication of pregnancy. The systained high temp are caused by the contrinual relaease of progestrone from the corpus luteum.
Ovulation temp should be around 98 deg and higher temp around 98.4 average...Hope this help gal.

Signs to Watch Out
Hi gal,

it may differ from woman to woman, but in general, some do get implantation bleeding. This occurs around 10 days after ovulation period. And next, they will feel hot, like hot flushes for at least 10 days. Sore breasts, tiredness, freq to toilet and of course, they missed their period.
How many days have you missed your period?

you should be around .5 to .8 degrees higher than normal. I checked mine within 5 days of ovulation--since I thought I was pregnant, and mine was like .7 degrees higher. I am normally 97.6 though. So I seen 98.3-- I believe it was ---i checked for many days and it remained between 98.1 and 98.3.

I couldnt get to sleep friday night as I felt like I had heart burn or something, for no reason! I have decided if I still have no period by friday to do a test! My partner and I really want a baby!

If u r planning to test later, when would that be... We will wait for ur results. Remember everybody is ttc for a baby...... And we all understand how it feels to have a negative result...

But if u feel pregnant, then y wait... Get the burden off ur head n do the test when u r ready......

Just drop us a word of the result. No matter what the result is, we r here for u...

Take care dear.

Hazel gal babe, I agree with lovablepetsworld. We grouse about it when we were neg last cycle..And now we are going to do preg test together...
It is good if you detect early so that you can take some folic acid as it is good for baby. And you can go to gynea for a check...We'll be here, promise!

No period...neg tests...
Hi all, I am almost a month late on my period. I have taken 4 hpts....all negative! I'm having prego symptoms, i.e...extreme fatigue, nausea, hot flashes, frequent urination, sore breasts, constant hunger, and lower back ache....I've been doing the temp thing and it's been around 98.4/.5 since last time I should have ovulated. (normal temp usualy about 97.5 or so). I'm trying to get a docs appt ( i don't have a primary care) but NO ONE is accepting new patients. Do you all think I should be patient and wait??(next per. is supposed to be due next week) or should I take a trip to planned parenthood and get a test there? I'm so nervous because I'd be happy if I were prego but if I'm not, what if there's something else wrong? HELP!!
