Abundant Confusion

My period started Tuesday night. It was a normal amount of red blood. I grabbed the tampon and cried. I went about my day. My period was nothing more than brown spotting. I woke up this morning and realized that I have had not one drop of blood since about mid-day Wednesday. I have no idea what this means. I stopped taking my progesterone after Tuesday night. My temperature has not started to come down yet (in fact, it's gone up). I have no symptoms of anything.

I don't know what is going on with my body. I don't know if today is cd3, or if it's cd 35. Am I 15 dpo then? My husband, cute though he is, wants me to test again. He says he thinks maybe just maybe it's possible that that was an implantation bleed as I only had ONE instance of red blood and it was so short-lived. But at the end of my 13th day after ovulation, I find that hard to believe. I just wish I understood what is going on.

I would take a test.

With regard to your temperature, it's not unusual to have higher temperature during your period because that is the excess progesterone in your system. I get that all the time. My temperature rarely dips below 97.6, even during my period (usually stays at 97.9 or 98 for my period). What is unusual is to have your temperature go up. When progesterone leaves your system, that is what causes the bleed and estrogen takes over, which is why your temperatures begin to drop, getting ready for the next cycle. I'm not wanting to get your hopes up, but temperatures going up could be evidence of progesterone and I'm not gonna say it, but there are a few causes as to why and one of them requires you to pee on a stick. Oh yes, lack of symptoms means nothing, it's still early.

Crossing my fingers for you for some good news.

Love,
Emily
