Anybody care to peek at my chart?

My cycles are not usually this long and it says I haven't O yet. Am I being impatient? Should I just keep BDing?

Hun just keep Bding, its still early. I am on CD40 and havent Oed yet. Just keep Bding!

Okay will do! Thanks for the reassurance.

It doesn't look like it's happened yet, in my opinion. However, our cycles can be kind of screwy after a miscarriage (trust me I know)! I would just keep temping and start taking OPKs if you haven't already.

I think I'll stalk you now

This is going to sound stupid but I really, really can't afford OPKs so I am trying to be patient but I really suck at it. I am just going to keep BDing every day and hope for the best. If worse comes to worse at least I will have had fun trying right? DH loves trying and so do I...LOL!
Keep stalking me, maybe it will bring me luck because I really need it!

It's not stupid - I can't really afford them either. Well, I can, but I could really make better use of that money on something else. And you definitely can't go wrong bding every day!!

Your cervical mucus pattern is just as accurate as OPK's - and it's free! A Peak fertility pattern goes like this:

1. Developing and changing mucus over the course of several days
2. Becomes slippery or lubricative
3. Ends in an abrupt change, a drastic drying up

If you feel wet or slippery, you're fertile and should BD! You don't need an OPK to tell you that.

Thanks Shawna. It is hard since the m/c. I find I don't have as much cm as I did before the m/c but I will keep on trying.

So sorry about your loss. Your body might still be adjusting from that, so don't worry.

You don't have to see much to be fertile - sensation is most important because the vulva is so sensitive it can feel the presence of mucus when it would take 10 times the amount to see with the naked eye. So if you're standing around and you notice you feel sticky, or moist, or wet, or slippery, or dry - those are all accurate references to determine your state of fertility! So don't get discouraged if you're not seeing much, make a note of what you feel as you go about your day. Wet or slippery - go BD!
