For charters that got their BFP?

I'm really looking for insight from those who were charting when they got pregnant. This month has been completely different from any others. Also, Murphy's law states that I am more likely to get pregnant this month, because we have already come up with the $ and scheduled an IUI for next month!

I have been TTC for the past 26 months, and have ovulated on CD18 or 19 each month, consistently. I also, NEVER get EWCM or hardly any moisture at all. I take my BBT, and normally after ovulation, it will spike about 0.6º, but never more. THIS MONTH, I ovulated on CD17, I had plenty of CM, including some EWCM, and my temp spike was more than 1.5º! In light of these changes, we decided to BD every night instead of every other (Dr. says sperm count is adequate to do so). So, now I'm in the horrible 2WW and I'm wondering if anyone else got pregnant during a "unique" cycle like this.

Also, what about my temp spike? Is that any indication? http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/119831

    The fact that you did have lots of cervical mucus and saw some EWCM means that this cycle was very fertile for you- more so than your usual cycles. By having sex once every 24 hours during your fertile phase (when you were experiencing the cervical mucus), you have maximized your chance of getting pregnant.

    The temp spike means nothing. It is way to early to tell anything. You are just going to have to wait and see what happens.

    The first time I got pregnant my temp stayed at 97.7 for 5 days then gradually went up the next two days and then went up and stayed up between 98.2-98.6. This is considered a triphasic pattern. It was very unusually for me for my temp to stay at the low 97.7 for days. The second time I got pregnant my temps were between 97.7 -98 for the first 8 days dpo after that they stayed between 98.2 -98.4. Once again a triphasic pattern. But I must tell you there have been 3 other times that I have had a triphasic temp pattern and I wasn't pregnant.

    So just to summarize: individual temps mean nothing; temp patterns are most important and you will never know you are pregnant until you get a positive on a pregnancy test or you go 18+ of high temps.....

    The egg would be fertilized on the day you ovulated (the day of conception). It takes the fertilized egg around a week and up to 10 days to implant into the uterus. Once the egg is implanted then your body starts releasing pregnancy hormones HCG. Prior to implantation you are not pregnant. Prior to implantation your body does not even know that you conceived.

    It takes a while for the HCG to build in your system. Your body's reaction to HCG is what causes pregnancy symptoms. Home pregnancy test look for HCG to conclude pregnancy. You must have enough HCG in your urine to register a positive. There is no point in taking home pregnancy tests prior to when your period should be arriving. It is a waste of money and sanity because there is always the possibility you could be pregnant and it is not registering because you don't have enough HCG in your system yet. When you do take a home pregnancy test, use your first morning's urine. It contains the highest level of HCG.

    I knida feel foolish answering this question because you are the one with all the good knowledge ( by the way I love your responses) so this is what I say because of that being said about how much knowledge you do have you of all people are going to know the difference. If you are feeling something just a little off then you probably already know the answer in your hart. Yes his law would indicate that you would become preggers right now just because that is the way it goes. I bet you are pregnant and instead of using that money to go and get pregnant you get to use it on your baby. That would be a Tripp if that happens. Please let us know I am very excited for you. You are such a sweet person and I hope this is your month.
