Well, I tested . 11 dpo. BFN.

It’s still early Kelly. Good luck Shay. My temp was just as low this morning as yesterday so going with I haven’t Od yet. Hopefully soon. Today is cycle day 23. Cycles have been 36 days lately so hopefully within the next few days

Colie hoping you O soon and can time it right with hubby!!

Kelly it is still technically early so give yourself some time.

Mama my temp this morning is still going up. CDTP has given me and so date but I don’t agree with it lol

AFM: hubby got a small version of the flue so our bding had to be put on hold. He is doing much better today but had a fever all day yesterday. If he is up for it we will continue to bd today or tomorrow. My temp is still up and I think I already O’ed. CDTP has me at 4dpo now but I think I am only at 2dpo. Still waiting patiently to fully confirm and hoping my temps continue to go up each day!!!
What do you guys think? I think O was on cd19 though it is saying it was cd17.

@mama hopefully you will O soon.
@Shay sorry to hear your hubs is sick. We are close together on dpos
@hdkelly its not over yet. Hoping you get your BFP.

AFM 4dpo and temps are staying pretty high. Going on Tuesday for P work since I will not be able to do it on Wednesday at 7dpo

Hey all. CD6 for me and we are currently in the middle of some of the most stressful crap weve been thru right now. Not sure if I wanna add the stress of TTC pn top of it. So I wont be charting, temping, or taking any opks this cycle. Hoping to just let God / Mother nature do their thing. Glad I can come here and get some stuff off my chest as this plays out.

Sending lots of love and baby dust to all of you !

Still have my fingers crossed for you, kelly! Still early!
2 dpo for me. Nothing exciting happening yet. Luckily I’ve been super busy lately, so the time seems to fly.

Man I really wish my cycles would be somewhat similar at least. Each one is super different and it is frustrating!!! I have only O’ed twice since January with some weird cycles in between. Really hoping this one is somewhat normal but not sure what to think. There is literally nothing similar between my cycles. I am super frustrated!!!

@Shay have you had any testing done? It looks to me (i'm not a doctor...) that you might have PCOS or some kind of cyst messing with your hormones. I have mild PCOS that is only controlled by a low carb diet. How's your diet? You could add Ovasitol -- it's a supplement you don't need an RX and it helps control blood sugar/insulin resistance much like metformin (which is a prescription). If you haven't tried it, it really can't do much harm. I have been taking it with metformin and my doctor wants me to keep taking everything through the first trimester.

@lissa thanks for the suggestion. I have had basic bloodwork done as my family has a history of thyroid issues. My doctor said everything looked great. I want to do more testing, but since it is a new doctor they want to wait and see still. I have always suspected PCOS as I feel I have many of the symptoms of it. I am hoping things workout this cycle though.
My diet isn’t great but I have been working on it a lot all summer. Plus I have been working out. Just over summer I have lost 15 pounds so I am pretty proud of that. I will definitely look into Ovasitol though!!

I did finally get cross hairs this morning for O. I am having my normal symptoms of sore chest and mild cramps that come after O. Still going to keep bding as soon as hubby feels up to it (he was sick all weekend). I am trying to stay hopeful!!

@shay I'm glad you got your crosshairs! I know how frustrating it can be with irregular cycles. For what it's worth all of my hormone testing came back normal. They only suspected PCOS because on CD 3 i had a scan of my ovaries and had WAY too many follicles growing. I think i had a total of 40 and you're only supposed to have 10-20. I also had some of the other symptoms like not being able to lose weight despite my best efforts and unwanted hair growth (TMI). I have heard that Ovasitol can really make a difference for some people. But it sounds like you guys have done a great job with the BD this cycle and you have some fine looking cross hairs so i'm keeping my fingers crossed for a BFP for you in a couple of weeks! Good luck!!!
