OK, my temps are going even higher since TOM came. How long is normal for them to be elevated after TOM starts?

The day I started, my temp was 97.67. Yesterday was 97.49. Today is 97.69. My pre-o temp was 96.64. My coverline was 96.99.

Can you make an appt. with your OB for a pregnancy blood test to be done or an ultrasound?

I will try and call after students are dismissed. What exactly should I tell them?

That you want a pregnancy blood test to be done. Seriously, though it's better to be on the safe side especially if your temps are going triphasic now and your bleeding, to either confirm pregnancy or rule out an ectopic pregnancy.

I would personally give it a few days. My temps have been elevated as much as 4-5 days, then dropped. Also, I would make extra sure that the temp in the room has not changed dramatically, and my sleeping habits/temperature taking habits had not changed drastically, and that I was using the same thermometer - and that the battery was still in good condition - and that I was taking my temp at the same time each morning, before all activity.

If your temps remain elevated, then you might want to check with your doctor, but really... I would just give it a couple of days to come down.

Are your cramps 'different' than they usually are with your period? I wouldn't ask for a pregnancy test, right now -- since you are bleeding... I'd wait a bit longer and see what happens.

Haha, I kinda figured that part, but since I've never actually asked for one before, I didn't know if there was some secret code or something I needed to use.

I actually called, and apparently at my doc you can walk in anytime and request a blood test and they will just do it right away. Is that normal??

I went in on my way home from school and had it done. I am supposed to call tomorrow to find out what it says.

They actually told me it was a good thing I came in, especially since I am Rh negative, and if I was pregnant and bleeding, I would need to get a RhoGam shot. I am glad they said that, because I felt kind of dumb asking for a blood test when I was bleeding, KWIM?

Yes, normally I don't get cramps at all. This time, I actually threw up the night I started. I felt fine, was laying in bed, and suddenly had to run for the bathroom to throw up. I also hadn't eaten very much dinner at all that night because I felt stuffed after like 3 bites. It was really weird.

Today, I'm barely bleeding at all. It still feels like I'm gushing, but I haven't done much of anything at all. Apparently I don't get to have anything normal, lol.

I just read in another thread that you've also, like me got PCOS. Before my diagnosis and treatment with a low carb diet & Metformin my temps would vary wildly and I wasn't able to even draw a coverline . Sometimes they would be very high after my period (annovulatory bleeding) which would just get my hopes up.

But I'm glad you doc's office saw you today (yes that's normal) and did the bloodwork.

I've been taking metformin for about 6 years now. How long have you been on it?

You shouldn't feel dumb at all. Although I probably would have too! If you've had a m/c it's medically a very wise idea to try to determine if you got pg again during this cycle--you just have more information that way. My mother told me she'd had a history of a bunch of really late periods which, in this day and age, they probably could have diagnosed positively as early miscarriages and treated her for. Although for some reason she didn't think to tell me this until after I miscarried, even when I told her the midwife wanted her medical history.

Anyhow, I hope you feel better soon. (((hugs)))

For almost 6.5 years. I started taking it in May of 2003 and lost over 30 lbs. initially. It took us another 18 months to conceive after I started it.

Have you spoken to your docs office yet?

I just got off the phone with them, and they said it was negative, so I guess that's good, since I was bleeding and all. I guess there's always this month. TOM is completely gone, so back to the starting board.

I'm glad that they gave you an answer...I'll be praying for this next month for you. How much Met. are you taking currently?

I'm taking 1000mg twice a day of the XR type. I was on the original until about a year ago when I switched to XR.

Got my period today.

I have a question but it may be TMI here. Not sure if I should ask it.

Go ahead and ask, Ariella. I'm sure it's something we've heard before.

Just popping in to say that we're still TTC. I don't think our odds are real good this month, but we'll know in a week or so.

Right on. I've been on the XR for, I think about 5 years (maybe slightly more?). When I'm not pregnant or nursing I takee 1500mg daily. Though I'm thinking about cutting that back to 1000mg daily when I start back up after Jac weans.

Clag, I've been reading about controversy on whether or not to take Met while TTC and while pregnant. What has your research shown on the subject?

I'm not "clag", but the information I have gathered about Metformin during TTC and pregnancy is that it is safe (at least in the early parts of pregnancy). SweetLittleErin took Metformin when she was TTC and then during the first 12 (?) weeks of her pregnancy. I think clag4christ has done the same.

I'm not charting anymore. It just took too much out of me to continue to try to medicate, chart, etc. without seeing results. I continue to take the Metformin and pray that God will bless us.

My research has shown that it's much, much more beneficial while TTC and in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy then it is possibly harmful.

I think taking it after 12 weeks depends on your OB's preference. I have a friend who is pretty insulin resistant and took it through her entire pregnancy, I think she was borderline GD but I don't remember...
