Hey ladies. Still no AF. I am not sure when I O'd. It could very well be a possible very late period. I have never been this late before but I guess its a first for everything. Its frustrating now. According to the site I should test tomorrow. I have a feeling my period will be here before then tho. I am usually a 25 day cycle, been that way for a while now. I havent had a cycle this long since last year. At this point my excitement has dwindled and my frustration has set in.

Praying for you amommy. My cycles were like clockwork....every 28 days. Then when I expected it early December I knew I was late and it showed up 5 days later. Just listen to your body. It will tell you what's going on.

CD 14 for me. I had progressively darker opks, but not a positive up until yesterday and now they are getting lighter. I have ewcm and slight pain on right side so I think I missed my peak and I am Oing. We BD the last two nights and will tonight too but I hope that's enough. I usually don't O until CD 20 or so. I will continue to use opk just incase. Ugh. So frustrating

Okay so I'm a little confused as to what is going on with my cycle right now and kind of wish I have been temping. I got a flashing smiley face yesterday morning in the opk test and today after work I got another flashing smiley face. It should be a steady smiley face now. So now I don't think I've ovulated yet, but I had minor cramps today and thought that was ovulation. Hmm. So now maybe I'll get a steady smiley face tomorrow?!

kotikd - I feel how you do...I try to keep up with everyone and see the BFPs and it's been great to see people that were with me in the beginning get their BFP and it's also nice to see people regularly on here, no matter their length of time, get their BFPs. The ones who just post they got a BFP and then leave, yeah it can get frustrating.

While - it seems like the long term forums aren't as active, or is it just me? There was one a while ago but I think a lot of us were taking breaks and not active. It can be tough on those forums b/c some of the excitement is kind of gone and it's hard to regularly post.

Ladies I appreciate the post, the words of encouragement, the advise, and support. Some of the things I learned is from these forums and chats. I feel better after reading and being on here. I cant talk to my friends about what im going thru because they are either pregnant or dont want to be pregnant. I have been trying to conceive since I lost my baby last year but I been actively and really trying since June or July like really trying. I've seen a doctor and hoping to not have to go with meds. Sigh.. af still not here and I've gone to bathroom like a million times already. I know I just need to relax its hard. I planto run to bathroom soon as I finish typing. Lol.. relax?! Please...

GB - we TTC for 14 months! We BD twice the month I conceived, which was December and only once on day of positive OPK.

I am trying to conceive this month, first time replying to this topic. I am a couple days away from ovulation, and on cycle day 15. I am checking my cervix and CM and charting my temps. I have noticed a difference in my cervix today, finally! It feels soft but my CM is not EW yet. It is more like sticky type, but it is clear with white so I guess it is going in the right direction. I had EWCM on cycle day 10 and 11 for some reason but did not ovulate. I was not expecting to anyway, as my cycles are a bit longer. I checked with OPK's and got negatives and my temp did not rise so I know I have not ovulated yet. I had some spotting on cycle days 10, 11 and 12. I don't know why I was spotting. Has me a bit worried, it was mixed with the EWCM on those days. I don't know maybe it was just from sex and being a bit dry after period? I really hope I ovulate by the 31st at least!! I would like to test before Valentines Day. :) and to everyone!!

@koti I just started a thread in the forum for women ttc for 6 months or more. I have had some good posts and dialogue. Maybe you would like to check it out.

Jessica - ovulation spotting is normal. Not everyone experiences it but it can be common. However, since it seems you haven't ovulated, could be do to all sorts of normal reasons, hormonal fluctuations, intercourse, etc. I really wouldn't worry too much about it.
