I'm now 5 days late. Which I've never been this late before
.. ever. And still negative tests. What's going on :( :( :( :(

Did AF show??

It did. 8 days late.
I just hope I'm not going to start getting irregular cycles. They've never been irregular. Makes things harder. I'm now cycle day 12 again. So probably coming up to my fertile window. Taking opks this month :)

How's everything :)

8 days late?!?! Wow. Hopefully it was just a fluke!

Things are good for me. I'm quite busy with work and gearing up for a busy week of visitors. My hubby's parents are arriving tomorrow, and then next weekend EIGHT more of my in-laws are arriving to stay with us for the weekend, lol. It's going to be a crazy weekend, but a lot of fun :-) How's everything with you?

I'm on CD14 today and got a positive OPK this morning. Maybe having all of the family here will help distract me from obsessing during this TWW!

Wow. You will certainly have your hands full.

Yes everything's good here. Just started taking evening primrose oil and still taking my iron tablets every day. And feeling much better for it.
Hoping evening primrose will help with fertile cm. As I only ever have watery or creamy ... never ewcm.

So waiting game to see if they help :)

I keep hearing about evening primrose, but never looked into what it actually does. I hope it helps!!! :-)

I'm out again this cycle. I'm really getting discouraged :-(

How long are you planning to try before you consider doing fertility testing for you and/or your spouse?

My doctor made it sound like 6 months to a year is normal depending on age. We've been actively trying with OPKs and temping for four months now (and for several month before that we were not really monitoring/timing things but we weren't trying to prevent pregnancy), and I'm today I'm feeling a bit stressed out about potential infertility issues.

Well we first had unprotected sex on the night of our wedding. June 30th. So it'll have been 4 unsuccessful cycles if we don't conceive this month. I'm going to do my doctor after 6 months.
It surprises me they'd make people wait 1 year before they'll look into things. I'll be distraught if I have to keep getting let down every month. Think I'll just be such an emotional wreck that by that point the not conceiving will be stress and emotion related :/

Same plan here! I'll go in after 6 months. I can't imagine waiting and stressing out for longer than that!

Congrats on the wedding! Yay, newlyweds!!!

Aww thankyou :)

It's annoying and hard. Because we also spoke about having kids as soon as we were married. So everyone's now asking. And me being nieve thought it happened so easy... I almost feel this pressure now. Because I don't want people thinking there's something wrong with me :(
