I was so encouraged by the huge temperature jump three days ago. I’ve NEVER had that happen before, and I’d been having some out of the ordinary, one-sided cramping that I believed was implantation, as well as some waves of nausea and other things. I had convinced myself I was pregnant just by symptoms alone, and once the jump happened, I though this HAD to be my month.

I was hoping to surprise my new husband with a new year’s baby announcement.

But—happy new year to me—this morning, my temperature dropped, and I am absolutely crushed.

I am 35 (nearly 36, actually) and only just got married for the first time a couple of months ago. We had an accidental pregnancy two years ago that ended up being ectopic, so my concerns about fertility are already marred with fears of another ectopic, not to mention my age.

Has anyone at all ever had a BFP after a temp drop like this? I know I’m grasping at straws... I just need something positive to start off the new year, even if all you can offer is encouragement for the future.

Thank you.
