@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.

Hey ladies!! I'm so sorry for all the bfn But I hope you guys get to see some positives soon No one deserves it more than the load of us lol...

@essence I feel you with the opks SO went with me to the pharmacy yesterday and when he saw how much the stuff costs he had a fit lol

On to October ladies

So my chart is a little confusing this month, but even more confusing is the fact that I saw the tiniest little amount of spotting yesterday. I don't even know why I looked when I wiped. I never spot randomly like that and AF is a ways away. So now I'm telling myself it was IB, but I would have only been 4-5dpo. Is that even possible?

Kait.... its could be! Or it could be a number of things.
I feel like every time I think I know everything about my body and cycle...it throws me a curveball

@Essence those opks can be confusing as hell. As long as you u should be covered though.

@Kait im excited for you. It really could be ib. Stay positive.

No symptoms at all for me. Cervix is high and soft seems closed. Lotion like cm but not a lot. Nothing else. At this point, im not even thinking of testing. I still hope for a miracle but so unsure. Who else is testing this week please?

I know right? I feel like my body knows I'm paying extra attention now so it's doing weird things. I'm trying to tell myself it's very unlikely that it was IB and I'll just take a test tomorrow morning so I don't feel guilty drinking on NYE.

What kind opks do you Use? I use easy home but thinking of trying the digital clear blue
