Thanks ladies! I'm torn between testing again tomorrow and not doing it at all and just seeing when/if AF shows up. Keep you posted. Hope everyone else doing okay!

Okay ladies, I'm just curious because I don't know much about charts, but is there any way to tell if a bfp is coming soon? I know some women get an implantation dip, but is there anything else that can be a hint? I'm just so impatient.
Ttc-I'll let pbn & some of the others with more experience with charting chime in, but I think for the most part it's a wait & see thing! You're looking for your temp to stay up & for patterns, but I've had a great looking chart that resulted in a BFN. I think it was pbn who mentioned that a triphasic chart *may be correlated with a BFP. It's when there is a 2nd rise in temps. In looking at my BFP chart, I had a dip & then a little rise higher to previous temps, but not a huge rise. The 2WW lasts forrrevvvverrr! Any more crafty projects planned?? Haha.
ttc - With my second son, I noticed the tiniest bit of pinkish blood - likely implantation bleeding - maybe 3 or 4 days before I got a BFP. When I saw it (seriously - it was a tiny amount, I could have missed it), I just got a strong gut feeling that I was pregnant. I even told my DH that I was pretty sure I was pregnant.
Lola: Thank you, that's helpful :) I do have another project planned, but first I'll have to find and purchase a couple things that might be hard to come by. I wish I could work on it now though.
ABC: I know about the spotting but no longer trust it. I've only had pink spotting twice in my life. Once was a week before I found out I was expecting dd1, and the second time was last cycle, at 9dpo. I thought for sure it was implantation bleeding and I had so many other things that led me to believe I was pregnant. But af arrived right on time. :(
Hugs ttc! This is your month!!

ttc - oh bummer! Yea I've had pre-AF pink spotting a couple of times in my life and I know it's pretty common for some people so not always a BFP sign... the time I had it with my son though I just *knew* it meant pregnancy.
But only a couple more days before you can start testing, yea?! Exciting!!
Max I'm sorry it was a bfn but I also think there's a strong possibility you're only 8dpo. Maybe give it a couple days and test again. By then you should be 10dpo at the latest.
Ttcblue there's few different patterns that can be seen in a chart that can often correlate with a bfp (but not always). But in saying that I've seen (and had) the most ordinary looking charts result in a bfp so just because you don't see a pattern, doesn't mean squat and you could very well get a bfp in any case.
In max's case her last three temps from what I believe are 6-8dpo are level. That's unusual but given the two open circles there would have been even a small difference. I've seen some bfp chart temps reach a level then 'flatten' out, so it maintains around a particular temp range with little fluctuation. Another type of pattern os a triphasic chart as Lola mentioned. These show a distinctive three level of temps pattern. So you're pre o temps are first phase, post o temps are second phase, then post implantation? I suppose you'd call it are third phase. The implantation dip you already know about but honestly I've seen way more bfp charts that don't have them than do.
Again it's very important not to assume anything about your chart because as said previously even the most ordinary charts can result in a bfp!

ABC, I don't think it was pre-af spotting because it happened at 6dpo (sorry, i was mistaken when i said 9) and af did not begin until 12dpo. But I did look up "pink spotting between periods" and light bleeding from the cervix popped up on Google. I tend to believe that is what it was because in February my mirena punctured my cervix and I had trouble with the bleeding after removal. So not saying is not a sign for others, because I know it clearly is. Just saying I don't trust it for myself..
Pbn: Thanks for the reassurance, I think I'm just grasping for threads trying to keep my hopes up. I wish they made "conception tests" that could somehow give us a positive after the egg is fertilized lol.
Omg ttcblue I've said the same thing a dozen times about conception tests 😂😂 wish I was a genius scientist that could invent one! Could you imagine how popular they would be!!?? But then again something like 1 in 3? fertilised eggs fail to implant properly, so could be a double edged sword 😕 I'd have still used it though 😂
