fyi-My book, Taking Charge of your Fertility as well as my doula said there is a high chance of pregnancy if your basal temp continues to be high everyday after ovul, no matter if its 8 days or 16. Just another opinion on it. My mil and sil always knew they were pregnant if their temp kept up high into day 10, 11, 12.....But I'm sure all bodies are different.

Hey Jen,

Keep taking your basal temp. It will not go back down until you start your period. However, if you are preg, it stays up (that's why 16 days of high temp is good) and even goes higher for many women. If yours starts going higher than 98.0, that's probably a very good sign! Mine went a little higher just before I expected my period and I had period like cramps, which are normal for me, but not the higher temp. By the way, those cramps didn't go away until I was about 13 weeks.

If you've charted for a while (which I know you didn't), the book says high temps for 3 or more days longer than your usual is an indication of pregnancy. Like Christian says, everyone's bodies are different. The 16 days is an average for wome they figure to have an average leutal phase (from ovulation to menstration) of 12-14 days. I hope this helps explain and not confuse!


And the boobs! With my first pregnancy, this was my main indication. They were soooo sore. Like someone else said, I could not sleep on my stomach because they were so sensitive. I was a 34 A/B before, too and they got big fast the first time. Not so much this time <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0"> (They're bigger, just not like last time). Oh well, maybe when the milk comes in!

I'm sending baby dust and thinking about you lots! Keep us posted.

I was sooo nauseated. I wasn't trying to get pregnant and so my first thought was not that I was having morning sickness. It would come out of the blue and I would vomit and then feel better. My boobs didn't start to hurt until I was about six weeks pregnant. I wouldn't even let my husband look at them, they hurt so bad!

Thanks, Wendy.

The cramps have lessened up to light and on-off. Today is 10 dpo and my basal temp. is its highest yet at 98.3. Like I said, my period is due Sunday. So I can't wait.
