Okay ladies, I understand why stressing over O can delay it a few days, but this is just ridiculous!!

Here is a recap of my month:

I started to get my EWCM, then had acupuncture and everything stopped. A few days later, my body started to ramp up again. I get all excited (to the point where I feel like I am holding my breath), and can't think of anything else. Well, that delays it again!! Then, my body starts again a couple days later, and I decide to go work out. Well, guess what?! You guessed it, another delay. Now I am once again having EWCM. I had acupuncture today, so I am sure I have delayed it again, but I just don't care anymore.......

Sorry, I hope you were able to keep up with my ramblings.

Well, here is my plan for next month:

No more stressing about this!! I am going to go with the flow and let nature take it's course. That means no temping, no opk's, and unfortunately no JM. So, I may be gone next month for a couple weeks.

Does anyone have any other advice for taking your mind off all this?? I need as much advice as you can give.

Oh man how frustrating!

I do have a suggestion... find a new hobby. When I started taking pics on a regular basis, it seemed to help keep my mind off it.

Good luck for this cycle, so you don't have to worry about next month

not thinking about it is hard! for me, the only way i refrained from poas and opk was just to not have ANY in the house. good luck!!!

That is a tough one. It may not be down to stressing or working out. I worked out all the time for about an hour a day and it never changed my o day. I know all our bodies are different but we do stress a bit at the time because we want it so badly.

I wonder if it's just one of those months where you don't ovulate as that is quite normal as well.

No matter what though, I really hope you o real soon so you can move onto the 2ww and then the bfp's.

Sorry this is all so frustrating

How frustrating. I am sorry you haven't O'd yet and your body keeps playing with you. I think you have a good plan in trying not to think about it and even taking a break from JM. It is hard to keep your mind off of it but I agree that you should take up a new hobby. Or get some work done that you have been procrastinating. Maybe start a new book? Also I think telling yourself positive affirmations & prayer that your body can ovulate and can get pregnant and can carry a healthy baby to term will go a long way. HUGS We'll miss you while you are away.

i know what you mean... im also pulling my hair out!!! this is nuts!!!

Thanks ladies, I agree with you about the finding a new hobby. That is a good idea. As long as it is not physical. I know my body has always been sensitive and any little thing can knock my ovulation off and usually does, but I have never had this much trouble.

I really truly wish I could go back to the days where the only thing I knew about TTC was that stretchy cervical mucous was a sign of impending ovulation. Ah, those were the days!!

I will still be around until AF gets here, and then I will be gone until I think I am in the 2ww. My acupuncturist told me that she did some things to encourage AF, not ovulation. I just want this cycle to be overwith so I can start fresh in April.

Thanks again!

It's not gonna be the same without you on here!!!! Are you sure you need to go???

That is so weird that the accupuncture kept you from Oing! What did you accupuncturist have to say about that?

I just saw this post this morning Victoria, cause I was out of town over the weekend. I am so sorry your body is playing tricks on you

I am just really hoping that you get a nice surprise this month and you don't have to worry about temping, OPKs, or anything next month, but for a different reason than you are planning!!! Sometimes it happens when we least expect it, and it doesn't sound like you are expecting it!

Don't give up yet girl!!! Please KUP

I hope you get a BFP this cycle so you don't have to worry about it anymore, too. Good luck to you. As for a hobby, have you ever thought about learning to sew? I just started learning and it really takes all your concentration....you don't have time to think of anything else at the time. Just a suggestion!!
