Tested this morning with an early response target test but it was negative so I’m looking for some early sign advice.
We ttc this past month a day before and after positive opk (and every other day around that time). My period was supposed to come yesterday and there was still no sign of it today. However yesterday and the day before I was feeling intense stabbing cramps and pressure. I never get cramps that go away before my period. Like clockwork for years I get cramps and then 1 hr later or less my period is there full force. They just went away completely and haven’t had any today either. I usually get my period day 26 and I’m only done with day 27 as of tonight. But the thing that really intrigues me is that my temperature still hasn’t dropped. Since I’ve been charting it always drops 2-3 days before my period and then it comes. My temp actually spiked up even higher than usual on the 25th day of my cycle. I’ve also been feeling quite “moist” downstairs. So what do you guys think? Any other signs I can look for? And when should I try to test again? I don’t want to test to early to get a result but obviously am excited lol

What dpo are you? It may be still too early… its hard to distinguish symptoms because many pregnancy symptoms are also af symptoms..

I’d test again tomorrow, it sounds promising! Hold your pee for as long as you can before poas, the hcg level just might still be a bit low. Hoping for a bfp!

teacherbee01 : thanks so much the temp thing is what’s making me think so as well! I’m on day 12 dpo but I have a shorter cycle I guess? So it hasn’t been 2 full weeks since ovulation but period is late 3 days now.

I tested 3-5 days before my period was due and my result was instantly and dark! Test!

Everyone is different but I had a clear positive on a FRER on 11 DPO, it was very faint on a dollar store test. I’ve heard some people don’t get a positive until 14 DPO or so though.

Your temp looks like it is declining. I’ve only ever gotten early positives. There is always a chance until AF arrives, but I don’t think this is your month :/

Based on the chart it actually looks to me like your temp is dropping? That’s usually what my temps looked like when I was expecting my period. Hopefully I’m wrong and you are actually pregnant!

futuremrssquiggs : EmmeW : hmm idk I’m 3 days late now and not feeling any pms symptoms. That crazy painful cramping I had was here and gone to never be seen again. My low temp is usually 90-92 and my high temp is usually 96. I think that 98 day was a weird fluke but it was also the day I had the cramps. Also my temp never declines slowly, it’s just up one day and down the next and then it takes 2-3 days of low temp before af starts and if that holds true I’m still waiting for 2 days of low temp and I’m really going to be late… so who knows? Could just be a weird temp month! Maybe you’re right since a lot of people are saying they get a positive 11 days after ovulation I’ll keep you posted 😁

So you usually only have. 9 dpo LP? I also see your temp is on the decline. I would anticipate AF I next day or so

knpswp : yeah I’ve been having a 26 day cycle I thought that was short too! Ovulate day 16-17 consistently. But turns out you were right! Got af today lol. Temp went up to 96 this morning so who knows? Body is maybe trying to regulate to a longer cycle or hormones are just taking longer to go away I guess. But crazy I got it day 30 😱
