Planning a Baby  Discussion Forum

hello evryone,
I'm in my 2 weeks wait.Just 3 more days to go.I started charting this cycle.Here I have a doubt,in luteal phase if our temperatures keeps raising does that mean that we are pregnant?Let me be more clear,My ovulation temparature was 97.4,n since then its raised to 98.4.Never in this 2 weeks wait it went down as low as my ovulation temperature.Just that at times it was constant,like today and
yesterday its struck in 98.4.So could anyone whosz charting please tell me that is it postive,ie any chances of pregnancy?please let me know.

thanks a lot again..
Btw when is ur due date? proud mom replied. Hi there,

Yeah...the BBT stays up in the luteal phase if you are pregnant. Your case seems to be like that..I wish you lots of luck.

BTW, are your periods regular? If yes, and if your temp stays up, then there is a good chance that you might be pregnant. I have a feeeling that you are ! Watch for other signs as well....like lower abdominal pain, tender breasts, feeling like periods on their way but never come.

Sometimes, women have no typical pregnancy symptomps, still they get positive pregnancy test. So hang in there....you'll know soon.

Hope to hear good news...keep us updated. diya replied. hi meghnah,
well, i have never charted BBT.but here is the info regarding BBT which i came across .....hope this helps u atleast to a certain extent...

Early Signs of Pregnancy
To know if you are pregnant or not you can use a number of methods, here we briefly describe them.

The early signs of pregnancy are the following:

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG). This hormone is secreted when a fertilized egg is implanted in the uterine. You can detect HCG with an inexpensive home pregnancy test.
BBT doesn't go down. Your basal body temperature should go slightly down before menstruation and the next drop of BBT would be in the first days of a new menstrual cycle. If you are pregnant, then it will stay high or may become even higher, about 0.3 degree. So some women can see the second surge of BBT during the cycle, and some just see that BBT doesn't go down.
Luteal phase is longer than usual. In other words, a new cycle doesn't begin. If you have identified the ovulation day, and you know the length of your luteal phase, then you can calculate if period is actually late. But then again, this method should be used only if you know when ovulation occurred.
There are other signs, including breast tenderness, abdominal pain, sleepiness, irritation, tiredness, and so on, but those listed above are more objective and give more accurate results. Many women would feel when they become pregnant because of these changes.
all the best!!!
love
diya
