Pregnant, even though no temp rise?

[sammy88]

Hi There,

Just thought I would ask if anyone has been pregnant and not had a temp rise?
I had some EWCM about 10-12 days ago. I have had a nauseaus feeling and cramping the last few days...but my temp hasn't gone up?

Sorry if this is a silly question!

Thanks heaps

Are you talking about a second rise? As in triphasic?

Is your thermometer a one or two decimal place one?

[sammy88]

Hi Tanya...I am sorry I don't know what triphasic means?

Hi Sammi-J....it is a two decimal digital thermometer. I bought it from Lullaby Conceptions.

Hi again Sammy

A triphasic chart shows three levels of temperatures: pre-ovulation, post-ovulation, and then a second rise around 7-10 days after ovulation. Some women with charts that show this pattern turn out to be pregnant. But many do not. Likewise, your chart does not need to show this kind of pattern for you to be pregnant. Whether or not you are pregnant, progesterone, the hormone responsible for raising your temperature after ovulation, generally peaks in the middle of your luteal phase and this can cause this kind of pattern whether or not you are pregnant.

A triphasic chart can be promising, however, because progesterone levels generally increase after implantation (7-10 days past ovulation) in conception cycles, and sometimes this results in a triphasic pattern. If your chart shows a second significant thermal shift that begins 7-10 days past ovulation, Fertility Friend will indicate a triphasic pattern in the Pregnancy Monitor. A triphasic chart, however, is not a definite sign that you are or are not pregnant. It is just increasing your probability if you also have well-timed intercourse. Likewise, you can be pregnant and not have a triphasic pattern. Like all signs of possible implantation or pregnancy, you can really only speculate about it once a pregnancy has already been confirmed.

BTW... your post count matches your name hehe

Hey Tanya...thanks so much for that info....
I finally figured out how to find my chart link so I can put it here...

It is really all over the place...up, down, the same, round and about really!!
I have no idea what is going on?
Then I think....maybe my temp is low because I didn't sleep so well that night?? Because that can be a factor, can't it?
Thanks so much!! It helps so much to get other peoples opinions and thoughts.

Sammy,

Your temps really aren't all that bad, but thay just don't show a sustained rised to indicate O. So unfortunately it really looks like O has still not occured.

Hang in there

Have a good day.
