Congratulations @Brenneec!! and thanks for sharing your chart with us.
CD 8 for me. AF finally gone (yes it is a full 7 days ) My fertile days start tomorrow but my husband has been extra grumpy the past couple of days so I need to figure out how to cheer him up a bit! He just finally admitted he is getting a little upset that we haven't been able to conceive yet and that he is feeling more pressure each month

@agatch I’m sorry he’s feeling the stress of TTC. That makes it even harder. Hopefully you can find a way to focus less on it and just enjoy being intimate and happy together. That’s usually when I get all the BDing I want lol

Hey ladies . Im officially 2 days late for my period i tested on 27 and it was a totall negative i dont know whats going on .. maybe my cycle is messed up im sos stresssed i dont know what to do ive got no test to use tommoroow if Af still doesnt show up .. im so scared at the same time and tired

AF came with a vengeance this morning, and she came with a lot of pain. On to October! Good luck to those of you still waiting!!

Well the dam broke last night just before I went to bed. So on to October!

I'm thinking about stopping the opks..... I feel like I stress so much about timing the sex and then counting down the exact 14 days from ovulation.
I used to always ovulate on CD 13. After the chemical loss my first o was cd21 2nd o was cd 16 and the last o was cd 15. I'm on CD 10 now.
I'm just gonna have sex as much as we can this week. I dont want to worry about it. So we shall see....

@espence I feel you on that. I started using the Clear Blue advanced OPK and am on my 5th day of “high” but still no peak. I feel like I’m stressing out way more not knowing exactly when I ovulate when previously I just judged by CM.

Sorry to all you ladies with AF showing up and fingers crossed for all those still waiting.

As for me, BD last night on CD13 with a usual CD15-16 O date. I have my yearly OB appt on January 11 which should be 11-13DPO so hoping they might give me my BFP!

Almost Cd 8 for me and I’ve already started my bding for this cycle. As the previous one I’m planning to bd every other day. I’m with you ladies about the opks.. I think this is plus stress on our mind! I even plan to give my DH the remaining pregnancy tests that I have from last cycle and tell him to hide them from me and give me the first one around 10dpo so I don’t go and test again too early adding more stress on my waiting.

sorry for everyone that got the AF. i am praying for but I have a feeling that I will be joining you all on the October board soon. I have a feeling that I probably ovulated late when DH and I were not anymore after the death of my friend I did not felt like it anymore but I absolutely have no symptoms. I had left side cramps about 6-7 days ago and believed it was ovulation and then again 2 days ago I believe that i was it. I think I might be out though .

@Espence and HotDamnitsJan I agree with yall. OPKs seem to add the stress to it. but I used the clearblue digital the pink one and that was helpful in a way that it was showing me that I was usually ovulating later than I though. i could not afford them this month but I might go back to them next month with maca powder root if that is acceptable while nursing.

@Alex and @Kait let's stay positive though and .

Sorry to those who had AF arrive

Im not sure what my body is doing. I started testing on CD12 (clearblue digital, the pink ones) and got a smiley on CD12 and again CD13. Negatives CD14, 15, 16 and 17. When I wiped on CD17 there was, TMI, a big jelly like clear blob. Not like EWCM at all, on a whim I tested again with afternoon pee and got a smiley. Empty circle (negative) on the morning of CD18, but then smiley that afternoon. Negative ever since.
O'd CD16 last cycle, but CD18 would be closer to what my body has been doing lately, but I've read you shouldn't use these tests multiple times a day because they can supposedly pick up normal fluctuations through the day and give you a positive. So I have no idea what's going on.
