Impending Period Or Implantation Dip?

Question

I usually chart my temps, but this month I stopped. I happened to take my temp and it has been in the upper 80's for the past couple days. I have been having some symptoms such as Sore b***s, Small Cramping, and a thick whiteish discharge.

This morning i woke up to a temp drop down to 97.5.My cramps subsided and the discharge and soreness is still here. Im not sure how many DPO i am, but im wondering if its an implantation dip or period coming. Oh yea, 2 HPT'S have been negative.

Answer 1

How many days until your period? If it is under 5 I would say the HPTs are right, if it is more than that then you will have to wait it out.

Answer 2

problem is if your temp dropped, you're not pregnant. look at your chart and if you were to be pregnant, you would notice a steady elevation, with no drops (assuming you're taking your temps right -- at a constant time daily and right as you wake up, before leaving bed). you didn't say if you missed a period yet, so don't waste money on hpt's until then -- even the ones that say "test 5 days sooner" only have a 50% chance of giving you accurate results before your missed period, and in fact it could take your body up to two WEEKS from a missed period to produce enough hcg to get a positive result. so all in all, be patient and wait -- trust me! as for the symptoms, they are very common with upcoming periods, so don't go based on just that.

the description of your scenario reminds me of myself, i was the same way before i got pregnant (i'm 5 weeks now). every month i was stressin' it, my fiance and i wanted a baby SO bad, so i was doing all i could to make sure it would happen -- or so i thought. i was charting, the whole 9 yards. and every month i was POSITIVE that this was "the month" for us, and of course 6 months and 8-10 negative tests later, i said to myself that i would just go with the flow. plus, they say when you enjoy s*x and not worry about it, it's more likely to happen. so i finally did, stopped charting and viola! ...... two months later and i'm 5 weeks preggo. my advice is to just let things happen naturally and unless you've been unsuccessful for over a year or two now, don't chart don't do anything, just enjoy your s*x life and it WILL happen, assuming you're both healthy and all is in your favor =) ..... if you try for over a year or so, see a fertility doctor. until then, i wish you the best of luck! ♥
