I would agree JL. Doesn’t look like it to me according to temps.

Just took a test with a three hour hold. BFN. I assumed. No symptoms at all. AF should be here in two days, and then on to next cycle!

Af due today, still nothing. I'm 13dpo however no symptoms except for sore-ish boobs, and like five negative hpts. Ugh...

@momma- hope it was just too early!

@franco- so frustrating! Did you O when you normally do?

AFM, also did a test this AM and BFN with FMU. Ugh. Usually test positive on this day (albeit faint) for previous pregnancies- even miscarriages and ectopics. Definitely feel out this month. Just waiting for AF now, too.

Really frustrated. We’re been trying for a year and I’ve really let other priorities for myself go- working out, for example. I work out normally for two weeks and then hold off bc I’m afraid to do anything bc of my miscarriage history (I know that’s silly but fear isn’t rational). So I’ve gained some weight, and I just feel gross. I’ve also taken less time for myself bc I have terrible HG during pregnancy, and so I’ve been trying to be overly present for my son and husband in anticipation of that. But I think it’s taken a toll. I think I may be done trying soon and letting life get back to normal.

Super confused. My temp still didn’t rise so either my thermometer is broken from my daughter grabbing it and chewing it or I am not going to ovulate this cycle.

@JL maybe just late ovulation this month? I know I usually get an LH surge at CD15 but it’s always a failed one, then I get a real one a week later, maybe it’s just a funny one this month!

AFM today’s OPK was darker, still not near positive but at least it’s been visible unlike the last 2 weeks worth! I’ve just had to order more since this cycle is either anovulatory or super long. I’d normally be due AF in 4 days

My LH is still high, too so I hope this egg is just along longer to release. This was my last LH strip so have to go off just temps for the rest of this cycle.

@JL: I read that you should go off of the first positive test (ovulation will occur after 12-48 hours from that time). Some people just have longer LH surges, but those can go through O. See here: https://www.avawomen.com/avaworld/long-lh-surge-last/

I know AVA is trying to sell a product (which I haven't bought and probably won't), but their information seems to be the most solid I find when I google anything.

@cgml, yea, I think my surge is just longer this time, but based on temping I haven’t ovulated in the typical 12-48 hours after my first positive and temping is supposed to be the most accurate way to know if you ovulated.

JL my doc had me start OPKs because you really cant go off BBT. I started them this cycle. She says there are so many factors for tempting that can hinder the results. I solely relied on bbt alone but now that I have used OPKs I might have been missing my o due to tempts saying i hadnt yet.
