I really thought I was going to be done temping after this morning..

in TTC after 35

But now that I have the BFN AND spotting I guess I get to keep going.. sigh.  I still am very confused as to why my temp would go UP this morning.  I can see it being about the same as yesterday or dropping but going UP?!  WTF is up with that?!

I have to admit I am hoping that the spotting will stop and my temp will rise again--I know it is not likely but it is the only thing that is keeping me from Crying today.

    Hang in there. The days before AF was due were always the worst. I just wanted to know - one way or the other. And I wanted it to be over. 

    I'm sorry!

    Fingers are crossed for you sweetie!!! could be a bit of late implantation spotting... let's see what your temp does tomorrow. If it's still up, then you aren't out yet.. (looks like your LP is usually 11-12 days, so if you aren't getting real flow today, I'd say that's a good sign!) I'l be watching your chart to see what your temp does tomorrow...(does the pregnancy monitor tell you anything since you have the VIP trial?)

    Thanks.  I would love for it to be IB..  :) I will definitely be checking my temp in the morning.  

    As of today I now can see the Pregnancy points thing but since I have not been entering in my symptoms I had to go back and try to remember what they were for each day.  I only went back 3 days because going back any farther would just be guessing--my memory is going fast in my ancient age.  :)  With the last 3 days symptoms listed I was only given 23 points.  Oh well.

    and FWIW...

    What to Expect.com says that many women experience implantation bleeding exactly when they expect AF to show... so if there IS a bean in there, and it's not fully settled in yet, you wouldn't get a BFP anyway...

    I know you already knew that... but some ladies say they get implantation bleeding around CD7 or 8...

    I have done nothing but google it all day.  It seems so desperate to cling to the possibility of IB, but it's all I've got left so I am clinging!  So far I just have watery pink spotting and the same cramps I have been having for a few days--which is more than likely just the onset of AF/FP but I am not going to give up til I have to.

    Thanks all!  I am really hoping that my temp stays high and my spotting stops.  All I can think about is how close I am to my "deadline" of being 40...how naive of me to think I could get this done before that day.  I was so happy yesterday "knowing" that I was going to get a BFP.. and today I am so sad realizing that I am not going to get one.  Dh doesn't know anything about all of this yet but I am sure he will catch on soon.  Poor guy has nothing left to say to me after hearing me cry over the same thing 29 months in a row.  Sad

    Oh Llama, I'm so sorry.  Hopefully it's just IB and your temps are still elevated tomorrow.  It sucks, but at this point, all you can do is wait.  ((HUGS)) to you.

    BTW, I get the 40 thing.  I am quickly approaching 41 and I personally refuse to have a baby after my 42 bday (I had a very difficult delivery with my first and recovery when I'm 4 or more years older will likely be even worse), so that leaves me 10 months to get my BFP or we are done.  Top it off by the fact that I've had to TTA for 2 cycles and possibly this one under Dr orders post loss.  Aging while TTC SUCKS!
