View Full Version : Am I Still Pregnant?

Recently we discovered I was pregnant. We found out prior to my period being due, and it was confirmed by a blood test.
On the day my period was due, my BBT dropped a little bit and has continued to do so since then. 5 days now. I have also had some spotting and light bleeding, nothing like my normal period.
I am waiting a couple more days for my levels to come in to see if I am still pregnant.

What I would like to know is this: Is it possible to have a low BBT and still be pregnant, and is this spotting/bleeding OK?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Wow that's a tough one, and I would like to know the outcome.

My husband and I do it all too... ovulation kits, BBT, the works. From what I understand, you BBT rises because when your egg is released, along with it is released progesterone which is a heat-emitting hormone thus making your temp rise. Your temp will stay elevated 13-15 days post ovulation, at which time if the egg is not fertilized or there is a miscarriage the temp drops. If your BBT remains high up to day 18 you are almost certainly pregnant, and your temp will remain high for the next 9 months because progesterone is released throughout the pregnancy.

What day are you on? If you are around day 18 you could take a HPT, if that comes up positive it would answer your question.

I hope it all works out!

Hi,

I am now 19DPO. We received a + HPT at 10 DPO and every day since then until I stopped doing them at 16 DPO. I had a + blood test at 13 DPO.
My temperatures were WAY above my coverline until 14 DPO when they dipped. They have continued to dip a little each day. Yesterday was my first temp BELOW my coverline and today my temp was EXACTLY the same as yesterday.
I know I was/am pregnant, but I don't know if this is early pregnancy bleeding or a miscarriage.
I am wondering if it is possible to have low/below coverline BBT's while bleeding and then they go back up?
