Elevated temps but BFN?

Hello ladies,

I had a chemical pregnancy last cycle (BFP on CD28 and AF on CD33)..Iam now on CD30 and still no AF, as we weren't trying this cycle i didnt chart or do OPKs so no clue when i ov'd but for the last four days or so i thought i would take my temp just so i know when to expect AF

CD 27 - 37.0, CD28 - 36.69, CD29 - 37.02 and CD30 - 37.16 (pretty high as i have never gone above 37 even with previous BFP!)

Usually my temps start to drop 2/3 days before AF arrves so im pretty confused as to whats going on? oh and my cycle is usually 27-29 days

So did an IC this morning and glaringly BFN!.... any suggestions or opinions most welcome

sorry t41- i have no clue

maybe it's too early to test and you are utd this time, even without trying?

maybe keep testing with IC each morning and keep temping from now.

hopefully 'something' will show in the next few days.

maybe you should go to the doc- only because they will closed for the new year and if your anything like me, i couldnt wait until they open again!

i guess my cycle could be longer than usual but the elevated temps is what is throwing me off...i mean those temps are consistently high arent they? argghhh i had finally made my peace with not tryng this cycle and now i have that stupid UTD hope all over again!!!

it was pretty heavy and lasted for 6 days usually last just 4 days...and did have some ewcm around when i thought i ov'd...some creamy cm since then and weirdly enough i honestly thought AF was starting on cd27/28 because i got strong cramps but then she didnt show...

sweets, it took my body two months to sort itself out after my m/c. I know how frustrating it is, I really do. Maybe give it a week from when your period is "due" and test again. Your ticker isn't connected to your chart so I haven't been able to look at your temps yet.

*edit* I have you on my friends list so have now viewed it. It does look suspicially like you could be utd but because it is only your first cycle since m/c I would be more inclined to listen to birdie.

It is true! And the first 3 months are the worst!

My DH was exactly the same! You have to find someone you can talk to about it- it's a really f**king difficult journey, I can definitely pledge to that!! It is not something that you just get over, it takes time, and then you're still never over it, it just gets easier. Hang in there sweets *kisses*

Trying... looking at your chart it seems that its not possible to be UTD because of the BD timing....

Men can be sooo frustrating!! they do not get emotionally involved with TTC and seem to have the "it will happen when it happens" approach!    When I got a BFN with the IVF my DP didnt react at all, so i had a very lonely grieving process...   So you are not the only one Trying.... lots of hugs to you

Edited ... to correct grammar lol

From my experience (gawd, listen to me!!!), after a mc, and I have had 3 with one being a chem mc, it takes 6 weeks to get your AF again after the mc (whether eliminated through D&C or not), and that AF is usually not one to conceive on as it's quite sporadic. It's usually the 3rd one after the mc that is more promising, because the body needs time to re-adjust to no longer being pg and to settle again and get into the 'thought' of becoming pg again. That's why mw's and dr's all advise leaving TTC for 2-3 cycles after a mc.

Your body could play some nasty nasty tricks on you I am afraid - take my own experience here - I am pg again now (cycle 3 after mc), but on cycle 2 I was CONVINCED that I was pg, even nauseous and near-vomiting on my drive into work. It was a horrible horrible shock to get the blood test result saying it was BFN, I was absolutely convinced I was UTD. Gutting.

Best of luck - it's berluddy hard isn't it - I sympathise very much with you and would never wish any of this on my worse enemy.
