Ok, I was so pumped for this cycle because it looked like things were going well and quicker than any other cycle... I started taking maca root it looked like I was going to O earlier than I ever had before. But, my temp went up quite a bit and came back down and I really don't know what's going on... I've never had a consistent pattern on my charts so don't know what any of this means I don't know what to do but I'm so frustrated! I know I'm only on CD 20 but I thought I O'd 3 or 4 days ago and now it's obvious I didn't. So maybe I won't? I say that because it looks like my body is trying but won't

I know I've been a baby about this cycle, but I just needed to vent!

Thought I'd add my OPK's in... here's the deal, my IC's didn't come in and I ordered them 3 weeks ago thinking they'd be here in time to start testing. I went out and bought FRER's which are $35 for 7 sticks! So, I had to be careful about using them, couldn't test multiple times a day and didn't know how they worked for me because I've never used them before. I recorded the one as positive because it was very close, and I just took the pics so it has faded a bit. I can honestly say that if a similar line had shown up on the other brand I normally use, I would have recorded it as negative, taken a test later that night or the next day and it would have most likely been +. But, the next day the line was much lighter.

So, you super smart analyzing chart POAS stalkers... opinions on the OPK? I could be swayed either way and perhaps if I didn't have my physical in 6 days it wouldn't matter as much!

What is your CM like today?
Dont apologize for being frustrated, I hated long cycles!!!

[AlanaIris]

I'm sorry. And don't worry about venting to us! We're here for you! I think all of us get frustrated about when we will/did O at one point or another, so we totally understand! I hope you get a clear thermal shift in the next few days! Good luck!

[Admin-pattyandthemoos]

Oh gosh. I am frustrated for you. I don't know what to think. I am hoping you have a very clear shift soon.

(((((((((HUGS)))))))))

If I remember correctly you just had a chemical pregnancy recently. I honestly think that could be what's screwing with your cycle this month. You are NOT being a baby so I don't want to hear that. It is okay to be frustrated. I can certainly understand that. Hang in there. Hopefully you'll get a nice shift soon. ((((Hugs))))

I'm sorry your cycle is being a pain, Tammy! I don't quite know what is happening because it looks like in previous months your OPKs were really on target and lined up with ovulation perfectly, so it is weird that it didn't go like that this month. Just keep on temping and BDing and hopefully your chart will become clear soon. Hang in there and try to stay positive! ((((HUGS)))))

[Shalyn]

You're not being a baby! I would be getting frustrated too! Sometimes I will get a really low temp then a higher temp, then another low temp and then O, so you're not out of the game of o'ing yet at all. I pray you O soon and this is your month!!!!

[Tammyms]

I you ladies! These comments made me cry!

Teresa... you could be right, I thought about that today, and especially the emotional part of it, I'm mad and sad because I just keep thinking if it had implanted and stuck I wouldn't have to worry about this right now, and I know most ladies here understand that, I know you do...

The other part is not being regular, working shift work, DH working out of town... it's so easy for us to miss our window because of work and not knowing when things are going to happen. So to think I O'd and time it perfectly, then to find out I may not have O'd is just frustrating!

Thanks everyone and I guess I'll just have to see what tomorrow brings

[Coley]

Hang in there sweetie...

I hope tomorrow brings you a bit more clarity.
