GOT MY BFP TODAY!! still freaking out about bbt issues though :-(

Ladies, IM PREGNANT!! just came back from the gyno an dthe nurse said im 5 weeks! e.d.b March 24, 2009, YAY!! I still have an appt wiht the doctor for the blood test in 2 weeks, August 3.  
The reason of why I'm paranoid is cause I've been taking my BBT, and since saturday it has been going down..just a little at a time, like from 98.40(top, on Friday) to 98.31 to 98.29 to 98.24 today! its still above my cover line(at 97.9). Should I be worried about it or is this normal?

Hi. I got a positive on my home pregnancy test about three days ago. Since the test though, my temp. gradually dropped and yesterday it fell slightly below my coverline....went up by .1 today. I'm driving myself crazy here thinking I'm going to miscarry. Has anyone experienced a dip for few days and maintained their pregnancy? We have been trying for 7months and now that it finally happened I have this to worry about.  Please help, I can't even go to the dr. bc/ it's a christmas weekend!!

Congrats!  My BBT would drop then rise then fall again when I was pregnant with my daughter.  I think you're fine =)  

Good luck and have a happy and healthy 8 more months =)

Congrats~ also my BBT stayed above my baseline but it did drop a little. Since you already got your BFP you know your pregnant, so stop temping. Your going to drive yourself nuts!

THANK YOU SO MUCH GIRLS!!!
I'll def follow your advices and stop taking my temp. I'm way too much of a hypocondriac to have to deal with the temperatures...I can just imagine myself, freaking every time lol but i would DEFINITELY suggest charting your bbt so you know exactly when you are ovulating(and at least you'll save from buying the ovulation kit ;-) )

I'm not sure about the BBT issues.  I thought after you ovulated that your BBT dropped back to your normal level.  I could be wrong because I only did the BBT for two months and didn't get pregnant either cycle.  Did you ask your doctor about your BBT question?  If not, I would call him/her and get your answer.  I wish I could be more help.  but, Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Enjoy feeling good for a while!  :)
