Maybeamommy's July Saga... Final Update :(

How is my chart looking? Do you think it will go triphasic?

How do you think my chances are this month? When should I test?

Chat Icon Thanks for answering my 101 questions!

8/1 UPDATE -- My temp is still in that same range, but FF doesn't say it's triphasic. Why? Is it because even though it's higher, it's not that many degrees higher than the previous temps?

8/2 UPDATE -- Temp is still up there. I asked the wonderful FF guides (VIP feature) about why it wasn't triphasic and here is what one said:

As for the triphasic pattern, to note a chart as triphasic under the pregnancy monitor we want to see temps rise to a range higher than all temps before some time after 7 days past ovulation (since implant usually happens 7 to 10 days past O), have 3 temps before confirming and all temps after must remain at that highest range. Yes, I do think your chart is displaying characteristics of a triphasic pattern, but as the shift occurred after 6dpo (a day earlier than that 7-10dpo range), the software won't suggest it as a possible triphasic pattern after that point. I think it looks great so far, though! GOOD LUCK!

8/2 SECOND UPDATE -- Took a test. BFN Chat Icon
I know it's early and it wasn't FMU, but I am crushed. I think that's it for us this cycle. I just know in my heart that if I was pregnant, we would have a BFP by now.

8/3 -- Feeling much better after yesterday. I've been doing this thing where I wake up at 4:45 instead of my normal temping time of 5:45. I usually am not sure if I'll be able to fall back asleep so I temp at that time. I always do end up falling back asleep, so then I temp again at 5:45 and put both temps into the temp corrector on FF. Apparently this is NOT what you should do. I asked the guides on FF because today I woke up at 4:45, 5:45 (after only falling asleep for maybe 20 minutes) and then again at 7:45. They suggested that I put in the 4:45 temp and NOT use the corrector. So, I did that for the other 2 days that I had done that before as well - now those are the white circles on the chart. My chart looks much different now and unfortunately, not as promising! Am I right?

I just don't feel like this is our month and that is very frustrating for me since it's our 11th! In good news, we'll finally be able to get that referral to an RE if things do not work out this month.

8/4 - Temp went up a little this morning. Tested at 5:00 instead of 5:45. POAS also, but BFN. Pretty sure that's it for me this cycle!

8/5 - Why can't I sleep? Took my temp at 4:00 and it was 97.72. If I put that into the corrector it gives me a temp over 98, but I'm just going to leave the original temp in there. I stink at waking up at my normal temping time lately! I won't test again unless AF doesn't show on Thursday, although I'm sure she will!

8/6 - Temps have gone way down. It's pretty clear AF is coming tomorrow. I"ll update my chart again tomorrow, but I think I'll take a little posting break - at least while AF is in town. I can't deal with the heartache right now Chat Icon

Final Update - Well, I just started spotting so I guess it's official. We are out Please forgive my negativity and hopelessness, but I can't help it right now. I thought we did everything right this month, but I guess it just wasn't in the cards for us. Onto month #12 and hopefully getting answers and getting pregnant.
