Ok, so im new to this sight and this is my first month charting.  My temp has been a steady 97.4-97.6 since day 1 of my cycle.  on 2/5/12 my temp dropped to 96.5 and 2/6/12 it was 98.1.  I did not check my temp today.  I have had bouts of nasea with no vomiting.  I keep feeling "butterflies" in my stomach, and have been extremely tired.  I am starting to see veins in my chest and my breasts feel heavier but not sore.  also, my face is Clear!!! I always have acne and it gets especially bad pre af and when I am stressed or eat chocolate which have been doing both lately.  also, with my first child my face cleared up during pregnancy.  I am going to wait until 2/14/12 to take a test to see if AF comes but am wanting a little input.. could I b PG?

Welcome to MDC!! 

Can you share your chart?  Many on this forum use www.fertilityfriend.com to enter charting data and share online.  It's free!  But from what you posted it sounds like you had a very clear thermal shift on 2/6, meaning you likely ovulated on 2/5.  You need three high temps to confirm O, so we cannot be certain that you did yet, especially since you didn't take your temp today!  What is your CF like?  Was it EW on 2/4 and 2/5, switching to sticky or dry on 2/6?  That could help us pinpoint O as well.

But if you did O on 2/5 that makes you only 2dpo today and too early to be experiencing pregnancy symptoms.  Pregnancy symptoms generally appear several days after implantation, once the embryo has had a chance to produce enough hCG to cause symptoms.  Implantation occurs sometime between 6 and 12dpo, but 84% of the time between 8 and 10dpo.  What you are experiencing might be caused by the hormones associated with ovulation.  I would highly recommend continuing to temp so you can see what is happening with your cycle as you approach the time of expected AF.  If you don't get a BFP this cycle, it will be good to see how long your luteal phase is. 

If you did O on on 2/5 then you should be able to get accurate HPT results in 10-12 days, though many women get results a few days earlier.  Good luck and keep us posted!  Also, you might enjoy jumping into some of the other TTC threads in this forum for support during the 2ww!
