Temping while pg

classybride143 · February 2013

Ok so I made the mistake of temping this morning and of course it went down chart stalk. It's still above cover line but down nonetheless. It was taken earlier than I usually take it. I then laid in bed for another hour. Body was well rested but not sure if I ever fell asleep. Took it again at regular time and it was back up very close to yesterday's temp?? Did you guys continue to temp after your BFPs?

I didn't because I tend to over analyze everything. I would guess there is still some up and down in pregnancy since your temp will only go up so high anyway. I have been worried about all the little twinges too, but keep trying to tell myself that relaxing is better than stressing because what's going to happen is going to happen. I am a FTM so take that for what it's worth from my lack of experience

No, I haven't since my bfp. I would read into little fluctuations too much if I did. That's why even when temping, I only temped to confirm O and then quit.

I temped once after finding out and then quit because I knew I would go crazy with every temp dip.

I did yesterday but then decided not to for this very reason. I had a dip yesterday (took it early and was still well above cover line but lower) and decided that I have no control over what happens and cannot obsess over my temp.

So no more temping for me

Yes, and I had a big temp drop!!

I have no pregnancy symtoms, had a fever last week and over the weekend. I'm very worried, a temp dip can not be good.

I think I did for maybe two days, but no longer because it would make me crazy.

oh darrah...i feel your pain!!!! I'm a nervous wreck!!!! I have had two cps and they have both been in febfuary...so this spotting is freaking me out : praying these are our sticky babies!!!

I did continue and had a small dip yesterday. It definitely concerned me, but then this morning it's back up. So I'm going to quit while I'm ahead. I say temp again tomorrow at your normal time and make sure you're well rested, and if it goes back up no more temping and this is coming from a temping addict...we can help each other out :P

I stopped BC I know it will drive me crazy lol

I'm thinking of giving it a rest too - I've been temping since my BFP (I'm 5 weeks today) and had a very slight dip this morning, which of course I've been fretting over all morning long! I'm really trying to just relax and enjoy!! Good luck!

Stop temping. I did the same thing with DD1 and sure enough after a gradual climb, they started going down again. I was beyond freaked out...but of course, everything was fine. I know it's hard - because nothing back then could have gotten me to stop temping, over-analyzing, and freaking out - but try to relax and stop temping.

I got my BFP yesterday but temped again this AM and I too wish I hadn't. It went down .4 but still above cover line. I immediately went to the bathroom and peed kn a wondfo and thank god it was darker then yesterday. I'm going to stop temping now because I know it will continue to stress me out. I will however keep peeing on wondfos until i run out because I want to watch them get darker.

I stopped temping after I got my BFP because I didn't want to freak out about every little dip in temperature.

Step away from the thermometer! You will drive yourself crazy!

buckeyebaby814 · February 2013

I've temped after getting a BFP in the past, but I haven't temped in almost a year, due to close monitoring with an RE. If it were me, I would stop! Easier said than done, I know, I remember. But if everything else is going well, try not to worry!
