Alex - I can only imagine the boredom of lockdown. We don't have the lockdown here in Sweden, as probably many have read about. So my boredom are more due to me not having the energy to do something, and it's going to drive me insane! I have had this issue for a while now and it's only getting worse. It doesn't matter how much or how little I sleep, I still feel completely exhausted! I don't know if it's simply a symptom of my fibromyalgia, or if it's something else like CFS. I'm thinking about seeing a doctor about it, but I honestly don't think I'll find a doctor that'll take this seriosly.

Today's cd 7 and it looks like af is finally gone. My monitor probably want's me to start testing with OPKs starting cd 9, but I think I'll skip a day or two of testing since I seem to be ovulating around cd 17.

Vintage hopefully af won’t come at all and you’ll get a late bfp!

Lean oh boy how exciting. This sounds so promising! Fingers crossed

Southern go catch that egg girl and enjoy!

Pandorica I’m sure you know your body better. I don’t even test anymore with opks. I’m doing this for so long I can read all the signs without temping or testing. I know you must be the same! Double checking of course is always good! Good luck this cycle.

AFM I’m 7 dpo and nothing really out of the ordinary. Boob pain, light cramping and the only annoying thing is I have (sorry tmi) diarrhea for the last 4 days. I’m not sure what bothered my stomach but it’s super annoying. I had it at the beginning of my metformin medication but I was fine for about one month. I don’t know why it’s back...

Alex - Yeah, my body is usually pretty easy too read. But since I only stopped BC a few months ago I wanted to check that it's back to normal. I'll probably try and sell my monitor after this cycle. Thank you, and good luck to you too.

So 11 dpo gave in to taking a test and came out negative. Grrrrrr

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.

Yep I’m out this cycle just started this morning, 3 days early.

I’m on CD 4 right now and very impatiently waiting for AF to end. Not planning on doing anything different this cycle except start taking folic acid. I’ll start using OPKs on CD 10 and see what happens. ????

Hi Everyone,

I know it's late in the month but I was hoping to join you all in this ttc journey. A little about me I'm ttc after 6 previous losses and the birth of my micropreemie. We are ttc on our own before we try fertility treatments again.

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?

Southern, they are definitely getting darker! I used OPKs before and am using them now but I’ve always gone the digital route. Trying to decipher lines would make me crazy (I do that enough with pregnancy tests at the end of the month). When do you usually ovulate?
