Alex hugs girl sometimes you need to let yourself just feel down and be, important thing is to pick yourself up afterwards

I just realized that I'm probably already out even though I haven't ovulated yet. Sometimes my husband's work schedule doesn't mix well with my cycle. I'm cd 12 today and my husband starts workning again tomorrow and aren't free until the 10th.. He unfortunately works only nights and his job are 1½ hour drive away, so he leaves when I come home from my work.. Since we have a 7yo there isn't any time for a quickie or something like that on the weekend when I'm off work.. Which means that of I don't ovulate cd 14-15, we don't have a chance. I got a low on my monitor, so it's not very likely I'll ovulate early.

Pandorica: *hug* I hope you ovulate early. I'd crack a joke about a turkey baster and a cup and him handing his stuff off to you when you got home but ... Not sure if this is the right time/place lol

Gosh, I’m sorry this month seems to have everyone struggling. Nasake, you’re exactly right, though, sometimes you just have to let yourself feel that way. I hope some good comes out of it for everyone, no matter what that looks like.

Hey vintage! How ya doing this month?:

Southern - No, that's ok. I think it's good to have some humor about it sometimes.

Pandorica: I'm never sure if my kind of humor is other people's. I'm the kind of person that finds humor in offensive things. So I wasn't sure if jokingly suggesting a turkey baster and cup hand off would be received well lol.

Hi Southern! I’m doing well so far, exercise seems to be helping my overall mood and started taking the folate. I should be doing into my fertile period in two days (starting OPKs on Sunday, I expect to get a positive on Thursday or Friday), so really hoping we can catch that egg!! How’s your TWW going?

Vintage: Exercise really does lift the mood! It helps produce endorphins and is my favorite stress reliever. And you know stress relief is good for TTC! Good luck catching that egg! I'm only 2 days into. My TWW and I'm already counting down the days! I had the WEIRDEST dream ever when I napped today (didn't get enough sleep so definitely not symptom spotting lol). If I was further into my TWW I'd think the vivid dream was a sign lol!

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome. It's been hard trying to find a community in the ttc world.

We switched to a new REI and she recommended we are try opks for the first time to see if we can get pregnant on our own (before we were doing monitored cycles or using my app and temping.) I'm on cycle day 26 but I'm not sure if or when I ovulated here's my line progression I'm really thinking I ovulated around cycle day 21
