Jumping in on this a bit late. But hello! AF is due tomorrow. Last cycle was very strange, was a week longer than it normally is with a negative blood HCG. Was just a weird cycle I guess. But I’m not feeling cramps like I usually do the day before AF. I am a total poas addict, so my question is: do I wait a couple more days to see if AF shows, or should I stop by the store on my way home tonight and buy a test to feed my addiction?

@tkl test away lovely, how many dpo would you be?

@confuzed29 I don’t temp or use opks, but the estimate would be 13dpo

@tkl I'd say test away, let us know how you go.

@becky I'm sorry to hear aF came, hopefully next month goes better for you

@photomama I hope you are getting your baby dancing on girl catch that egg !!

@tkl I'd definately still be testing

@confuzed yay 2dpo I hope your signs are at least implantation

Okay so for me I'm 9dpo today, SO said my boobs are different, harder and bigger... Dunno if that's good Also been having vivid dreams (nightmares) where I actually wake up crying...

Took a test when I got home from work and it was a bfn
At this point I’m just hoping my cycles aren’t permanently going to be like my last one.

@confused I'm here just waiting. My temp stayed about the same today. Took a test so I would feel okay having a couple of drinks at Halloween parties this weekend. Negative as negative gets. I keep getting these dull cramps/aches that make me think AF is coming and then she never shows.

Spending my Saturday on the lounge having a bev, what are you ladies up too? I'm trying to not obsess and enjoy this time.
@kait il be keeping my fingers crossed af stays away!

@itsanna ha your so noticing that
funny, how are you feeling other than that?

@becky sorry about af she's such a bitch! best of luck for your next cycle.

@tkl it's still pretty early don't loose hope.

Hi!!!!
@ItsAnna I hope in a couple of days is bfp!!!
Yes @Confused!!!! Lets chill and try relaxing a bit

General question, do you think ia better to keep tracking in general and testing with opk or should I just let it go and not obsses about it? Since last month all 3 systems (OPK, AVA & Temps) gave me different readings for my O date... ahould I do a full month of opk just to know if I have multiples LH surges?
Ussually after I catch a surge I test the next day and when its low again stop testing.... should I follow up the whole month?
Also, last month I went to see my doctor he checked everything, my blood, hormones, ovarian reserve, antimullerian etc... so he told me everything was perfect

Im very millenial like, I have been trying since July, sooooo have to wait is anoying ???? and getting to me (in a bad wait) ????

I will follow teh general advice

Tomorrow I will travel to see my mom and just spend a couple of days with her chilling ??

@becky I'm hesitant to be a believer in the Ava bracelet because it uses skin temperature which can fluctuate even just depending on where the sensor is touching. I think temping and opks are your best bet. Opks will give you a heads up and temping will confirm when ovulation actually happened. It's necessary to do both because a positive opk doesn't guarantee that you O'd and you can O up to a few days after a positive opk. I would temp for the entire cycle, but if your temps confirm O at some point, I would say you can stop opk testing at that point. Good luck! I'm impatient too!

Hope everyone else is relaxing. I haven't gotten out of bed yet, but I've been awake for over an hour.
