Surprising results

So this cycle was super ambiguous this month and it was definitely a huge source of stress for me. It definitely contributed to my break down at my Drs office. The reason why it was such a source of frustration was I wasn't sure when/if I ovulated. Usually my preovulatory temps are about 97.2/97.3 but this cycle it was around 97.6. Strange for me. So when my temp dipped to 96.8, I figured it was my ovulation date. Much to my dismay, when my temp shifted, they hovered at 97.6 still!!! This happened for about 4 days. I also had EWCM. I was so confused!! I didn't know what to think! I figured Brad and I were screwed this cycle and we were gonna wait this next cycle to avoid a Christmas baby.
For the next 5-6 days, my temp went up to 97.9 so that made me feel a lot better. That at the least insisted that I was ovulating. This would be helpful information for my OB when my appointment time came around.
A couple days after that, my temp rose a little higher. On Saturday, march 21st, Brad and I were doing work in the garage and I started feeling a little gross. I don't know what compelled me, but I thought to myself "just for fun, I'm gonna take a pregnancy test". I had no expectation but I thought it would be fun. So I POAS and no sooner did I flush and wash my hands did I see a light pink line in the positive part of the test!!! Although admittedly it was light, it was still darker than any other test I've ever taken of that brand. I was super surprised and happy! I went to Brad and showed him. He was surprised too and said- we'll see what happens! I don't blame him based on what happened when I miscarried. We are both being very cautious and not telling ANYONE until the ultrasound.
The miscarriage was was really hard on the moms when it happened and although they wanted to be supportive, I think it was worse for them than it was for me. I don't want to put them through that again so I'd rather take the risk and potentially deal with another miscarriage on my own. Based on the date of my pregnancy test I calculated that I did in fact ovulate on march 9th when my temp dipped. I'm not sure why my preovulatory temps were so high but as long as I'm pregnant, I don't really care!! That means that I'm 12 days dpo. That would give me an EDD of November 30th. This is also the earliest positive I had. When I miscarried, my definite positive test was 16 dpo. The ones before that were squinters. This new one definitely was not!! I guess we will have to see what the future hold for us!!
