Not sure... I haven't experienced that, but everyone is different. DO ask a doc if it's very uncomfortable and bothersome. I think the cervix being bumped can cause some mild cramping, which is normal.

Betty, I hear you on the extra minute! Hopefully it's digital so it at least beeps when it's done.
Apparently the ovaries can get bumped during intercourse too (through the vaginal wall); it happens less often but apparently the discomfort is similar to what guys experience with blows to that area. Ouch.
I sometimes get a bit of vaginal discomfort after intercourse if we hadn't had it for a few days... don't think I've ever had cramping, but everybody is different.

The only time I had pain with intercourse was when I had a yeast infection. But I guess it wasn't cramps as much as just plain pain.
So I am really considering going back on BC pills to get myself regulated again. My body doesn't seem to be able to do it by itself. How long do you think I should stay on them? In the past, before I was married, I would stay on them for atleast 6months. But we would like to start TTC again soon and the thought of waiting 6 months makes me despressed. Ryanne, how long did you stay on them? I was on the pill for about a year before I went off of them this last time.
I am still pretty depressed about the misscarriage. It just hits me a odd times and I get so sad. I don't even think I can go to church right now. Our church is pretty small. About 150 people and the majority are young couples. Every couple right now is either pregnant or has a baby under 9 months. Every single couple......except for me and my husband. It just feels like a slap in the face and I feel I can't even worship because I become so depressed. I know I need to try and re-focus....but it is so much easier said than done. okay okay....I need to stop my pity party.
Congrats Archer!
Hope all the other ladies out there are hanging in there! Fly

((((((Fly)))))) I felt like that too about church at first, and there were only a few couples pg/with young babies at the time. Don't beat yourself up for feeling awful; you feel what you feel and that's just how it goes. If you find your church tough, is there another one you could visit for a bit?
(((hugs))) I don't have any advice re the Pill but I hope things feel better soon.

That sounds like an excellent idea! It's so great to be on the same page as your spouse in relation to having children and raising them. Sometimes people change or it isn't covered enough in premarriage counseling, and I think it would be very wise to have "preconception" counseling before TTC!
And thanks, Trish!

So, today is apparently 8DPO. I had a huge dip (like 1.2 degrees)on 6DPO then a huge jump (like 1.1 degrees) on 7DPO, and today is still elevated. I am attaching my chart, which has been a little weird, and ovulation didn't actually show until Saturday. Have any of you ever seen a dip that big before? My dip last month was like half a degree, and didn't even go below coverline.

Charting isn't that bad. :-) It's what DH and I used to avoid for the first year of marriage.
I'd see a big dip in my post-O temps occasionally - it's usually caused by a normal surge of estrogen during that time.
I felt normal (my typical PMS symptoms) while I was waiting for AF to show. The only things that were a little different is that I had a couple of days where I felt really hungry and some odd twinges/heavy feeling in my lower abdominal region.

When I got pregnant this time around, I felt very, very tired. And had sore breasts and was queasy pretty much all day. I thought I was coming down with something - then I did some math (this baby was a surprise) and decided that if AF didn't show in a couple more days I had best buy an HPT. But since I have been on the infertility train before, complete with irregular cycles lasting up to 37 days I waited until day 38 to test just like I did the last time. I don't ovulate until around day 18-19 anyway so rushing to test only lead to heartbreak when I was TTC. With the first baby I had no symptoms, just a feeling. But I kept telling myself I was wrong.

With both my body was different. I had severe cramping, none like I've ever had before. Like I would have a cramp that would put me out, doubled over, for 15 minutes straight. Then I'd be wiped out from the pain. I didn't know I had ovulated as I was annov for a while and hadn't had a period for months. Then I ovulated, didn't know it, got pregnant, didn't know that. But I was suspicious because everything was different. With Rhys, my second, I got sick to my stomach before I missed a period. For three evenings straight I had to leave the dinner table to lay down. By the third night Andrew suggested I take a pregnancy test. I told him it was too early. But I did the next morning and lo and behold 9dpo I got a positive. So yeah, my body acted differently.

So here's a question for those who have been pregnant before...
While you were waiting to see if period would come or not, how did your body feel? Did it feel different than your normal PMS symptoms? Worse, better, no change?
No different. At all. Actually that was the first time I took a test just to prove that I wasn't pregnant so I could go in the hot-tub and have a glass of wine that weekend. It was the first month I wasn't super-analyzing everything either, so that may have had something to do with it. But there was zero difference for me.

I remember that. It is irritating. Why can't a woman just be sick and not 'morning sickness' all the time? I think some people want to be 'prophetic'. Whatever.

Ryanne, how long did you stay on them?
It only takes me 2-3 cycles to "regulate" with birth control pills. This past time I had been on them for almost 2 years since we were also using them as birth control. But when we conceived DD I had been on them for 4-5 months.
Ariella, I have felt different both times I have gotten pregnant before I knew. With #1 I was *sick* from about 9dpo until 16 weeks. No vomiting but constant nausea. With #2 I didn't feel as sick(still don't) but I was seriously craving milk and it wasn't making me sick. I hadn't had a glass of milk in over 9 months before I got pregnant and it typically puts me in the bathroom all night with gastric issues.

Ok, I got another temperature jump today. It's the highest I've had all cycle. Here is my chart.
CHART
Do you guys think I really need to wait until the 4th to test, or does it look like it work sooner?

You could start testing tomorrow morning, if you really want. But remember that a negative is not always a negative that early.

Thanks Ryanne! I appreciate you letting me ask so many questions.
I have to leave for a business trip in a week and will be gone for 5 days. Then I see my OB on the 12th of Nov. So I am hopping to go back on the pill then. Unless she has some great idea about what else is going on. Sometimes I wonder if my thyroid is out of whack but I have been tested for that before.
Wow Mmartiandt...interesting chart. I would think you could test tomorrow......I know how hard it is to wait.
Thanks Anne-Girl for letting me vent. I really am convinced that you don't know what a miscarriage is like unless you have gone through one. Especailly with the guys. DH tries the best he can but it is impossible for him to relate. I get upset that he isn't emotional but I know the baby wasn't "real" to him like it was to me.
Hope all the rest of you ladies are hanging in there! Fly

Anytime.  You know, I think guys do deal with grief differently than we do... and I don't just mean the fact that I've only seen DH cry twice in the five years I've known him. Eg, when I had my miscarriage, my dad found himself mourning for the baby they'd lost when my mom miscarried; at the time the doctor said "it's no big deal, move on," so he did. Then when mine came, he started to realize exactly what they'd lost... thirty years later! You never know how grief will work.
I think for DH it was easier to think the baby was real (saw it on the u/s, hospital induction, pictures, burial etc) but for guys who don't have any of that, it is particularly hard to connect to the loss. The "intellectual" way to deal with it is to bury it, so that's what many do. I think my DH might have too, if he hadn't gotten some great advice re what to expect from a colleague whose wife had had a couple of miscarriages. So even though he didn't grieve as much as me either, he was still very understanding. Even so, I found myself measuring my lack of progress on my grief against his, until I realized that was not going to help matters.

my personal rule of thumb is to not test until I would *believe* the results. I mean, why test, test, test, test? I just wait until I am sure I would believe it. If it's still negative, and no period, I wait about another week or so, then I might test again... and I might not.

I, personally, like to wait until the day before or the day that AF is due to test. It's just easier for me, so I don't stress over it too early. BUT, if you're ok with it, then start anytime after 10dpo.

Thank you also for your responses. 
My symptoms didn't kick in until at least 7DPO, but the second time around they were familiar enough that I was pretty sure I was pg before I tested.
