Bleh.... I think traveling for Thanksgiving has messed up my temps for a couple of days. I definitely didn't sleep well. I'm using OPKs and they seem to be darker each time I do one. I'm really hoping this will be it for us. I really want to not even continue bothering with bbt and OPKs and just wing it again because it worked with conceiving my daughter. But since it's just cycle 2 off birth control I can't predict anything so if I wanna really have a shot this month I gotta do at least one so I know how many dpo I am and when to expect af.

So this is the first time I've actually used OPKs. I saw them used a lot when we were trying for my daughter but I never bothered. Since I'm coming off BC this time I decided it would be wise to use them. I know tonight's is NOT positive or even close really but it is getting darker, right?

Vintage: before I took birth control I had a 27 day cycle with 13 day luteal phase so I tended to ovulate on cd 14. But this being my 2nd cycle off birth control I'm not sure what my "normal" is anymore, hence the OPKs. I was gonna try digital but they're more expensive and until I had the hang of when to test I didn't wanna spend that much money. But maybe I'll grab some when we go get Xmas stuff tomorrow depending on what my afternoon OPK looks like.

I've been quiet because after first day of happiness about new cycle and hope, days went supppper slow. I am CD10 and I finally got hold of my doctor, who told me chromosomal testing came back normal. I said thanks and wanted to ask what's now, but she hanged up UGHHHHHHH and it's really difficult to get a hold of her. I literally started crying. Ughhhh.... It's the doctor who just wanted to wait now and told that we just need to try and try and try and try if everything comes back normal... I'm pretty sure she is like this because I'm in my twenties, because she is usually one of most recommended infertility docs. At least now I know that I don't have any most common genetic defects or chromosomal what could be reason for our infertility and miscarriages. But I'm still not sure about my progesterone, because it was literally on minimal level it should be 5DPO to show successful ovulation. UGHHHHH atm I feel so friking tired of it all. I realised few days ago that almost 5 years with battling it all, has made the thought of really having baby to hold on our hands almost like an impossible dream what doesn't seem realistic... Like I still have so much hope and I'm being positive, but in the back of my head it still feels like unrealistic dream.
I think I'll chill this month and just try to enjoy christmastime. Chilling means taking opk's, bbt and progesterone cream, because I feel more chilled if I know what's going on with my cycle, because my cycle is craycray and all over the place. And next year when I'm ready I'll go back to the doctor who was looking after me while pregnancy and miscarriage, she was super supportive and was ready to start trying medicated cycles from 2nd cycle after my miscarriage. Ugh...atm I feel defeated, but I know I'll pick myself up soon and just keep going.
Southern they are def getting darker, it seems like you'll be ovulating soon
