Anyone else who still temped after BFP

Hi Ladies,

I know I should probably stop temping at this point (i'm 6wks3days), but I can't help myself, i'm obsessed!! I feel like this is the only thing i have to monitor what is going on with my body!!! I haven't been plugging them into fertility friend, just keeping a journal.  My temps have been averaging between 98.20-98.30 the past 2 weeks.  My temps from the last 2 mornings have been lower (98.06 & 98.04)    I know I don't really have to worry until it gets down to my coverline (96.93), but I feel like this is the beginning of the end. Also, I don't really have any pg symptoms, just feel a little tired.  I guess i'm just paranoid b/c this is the same point in my last pregancy where the baby had stopped growing.  My 1st dr. appt is this Friday, no ultrasound scheduled yet, but i'm hoping to have one within the next 2 weeks maybe.  I just wondered if any of you continued to temp, and did you have a lot of fluctuations as well? TIA for reading my paranoid post!!!

Your temp will eventually level out and cause you to freak out.  Stop temping lady!  Today you are pregnant and you love your baby!

I did for a while.  It got to be nerve wrecking though.  My temp dropped and I freaked so I temped until it went up again and stopped temping.

hi there.

I know its so hard. but please dont stess out. I think that is the worse thing we can do it stress out. I know its so hard not to but I think that not getting worried and stressed out is the best thing we can do for our babies.

Symtoms will come and go. 

we all need to relax and not think about last time, etc. I have that in my head all the time. Ok I passed the first one at 5 weeks, now I have to get through past 6 weeks. I am going to just drive myself crazy.

take a deep breath and say it with me.... today I am pregnant and LOVE my baby!

I did ... you can see on my chart; I think I stopped around 22 dpo.  I stopped because my temp dipped and I freaked.  Your temp will dip and it will stress you out for no reason at all, so I advise putting the thermometer away.

I agree with all of the above. I kept temping for a while until it got really boring. Your temp will fluctuate, and there's no need to worry yourself unnecessarily. And don't worry; you are still far above your coverline! I suggest bundling up with a bunch of covers, get a nice high temp, then hide your thermometer.
