Anyone still charting?

[Jilian]

I charted while TTC for 5 mos before getting pregnant, and now here I am pregnant and still charting : I wake up at 6:45 am like clockwork and take my temp. I keep saying I'll stop in a week but I don't I think seeing my temp stay high makes me feel better, I know some people get a temp drop as a m/c warning.

Is anyone else still temping?

[Shell_Ell]

Yep, me too! I've been charting since DS was about 8 weeks old, so it's already sort of habit. But I would like to see 18 high temps before I stop.

I stopped charting the day I got a positive test. I didn't want something else to stress out about, and besides that, I have been sleeping terribly, so my temps wouldn't be very reliable. I don't think I have had 4 hours of consecutive sleep since I found out I was pregnant [yawn].

I will admit that I have been looking at my chart every single day trying to figure out when I ovulated. I had a nice clear jump, but it was much later than usual so I am not sure if that was ovulation or implantation. I could be anywhere between 19 and 25 DPO today. This is another example of my growing neuroses--it's driving me crazy that I can't pinpoint the exact date of conception. I guess an u/s will help. I don't like being so crazy about these numbers: betas, DPO, etc., and daily temps would just add to my number-mania.

Yup, I've still been charting my temp. For now I think it's just a habit and reassurance that my temps are still up. I will probably stop after a week, but I've already got my 18 high temps.

I am. It's just a habit at this point, but it does make me feel better to see my temps are still high.

I didn't temp this morning because I woke up earlier than usual. Of course this was the one morning DH asked if I had temped.

I took my last temp at 16dpo.

This morning I woke up at 6:40 and decided to sleep in a bit and not temp, I woke up sweating as usual (so I know my temp was still high). So why did I temp at 7:30 when I woke up again?! I have no idea! But my temp was down a few degrees and now I'm a little worried. I think it's time to have DP hide my thermometer! After I temp one more time tomorrow to see my temp go back up :

With DS, I kept taking my temp until the end of the first trimester, I think.

When TTC, I felt like seeing the temp drop eased the blow of starting to bleed. I think it would be similar for a mc. Seeing blood is just the worst way to find out ANYTHING for me.

I got my BFP (a nice dark one) on 13dpo and the next day my temp dropped below the coverline and I was crushed, especially since I had a chemical pregnancy last month. So I called my clinic and the nurse said to come in right away and they'd do a blood test. My hcg levels on 14dpo were 424 (really good) and I'm going in for my second test this morning, but I haven't had any spotting so I think it was a fluke. Everyone told me to throw out my thermometer so I put it away and feel much better.

I was finally able to stop teming the other day I had a temp drop that scared me, then a recovery and I only temped for one more day after that. I'm happy to be done now.

I'm still temping, but not checking my cervix. For some reason I feel like it wants privacy now, so I'm listening. Since I had a m/c last time I'm going to keep temping until 12 or 14 weeks. I think I'm doing it more out of an odd superstition than anything else. So far it seems to calm rather than cause anxiety.

[mommamin]

I didn't really start temping to after I ovulated but now I don't want to stop!:

[Girlo]

I took my temp the other day....because it was reaching the time of my last m/c and I was a little freaked. It was still 98.4, which definitely helped to ease my anxiety.
