Grettings from one control freak to another-gosh, it makes life complicated,

doesn't it?!! First of all, I'm so sorry for your loss. I've taken up the

whole temping thing this year, too. I had a m/c in February and started to do

BBTs after that (I didn't do it before, so I can't compare.) What I can tell

you is that after my m/c my charts did show a few annovulatory cycles (very

frustrating) and my periods have been MUCH worse than they were before, so

pregnancy has definitely changed a lot of things for me. Hopefully, your

tests/bloodwork will shed some more light on this. (I'm guessing that your doc

is doing bloodwork-a simple progesterone test will show if you are ovulating or

not.) It might be possible that you aren't yet ovulating. I know that my m/c

really screwed my cycles up for a while.

I have read that a heating pad can screw up your BBTs, so who knows about the

electtic blanket! Maybe try to go without that for a while and see if there is

a difference! Hope that your tests go well and you get that " green light " very

soon.

Best wishes,
