Hi ladies,

I've been stalking this board for a while. Haha.

I'm CD 45 now. NO clue when I o'd, so I'm aware its possible that I didn't O.

Anyways, CD 45, bfn last week, had mild cramping for past 6 days or so. Nothing today. Small amount of lotiony CM. CP is so high I can barely touch it.

Here's the other thing: Beyond the mild cramping - no symptoms of PMS or pregnancy. NONE. Argh. LOL

Don't care at this point if I'm pregnant or not. I just want to get some sort of answer one way or another, you know? AF or BFP, don't care which!

[WantingAnother]

I know exactly what you mean! I am on CD 44 and am barely having signs of what I think might be O, not sure though!

I hope you get an answer soon!

It's hard to say...but possibly with the cramping, high cervical position, maybe you just recently O'd?? I hope you get your answer soon, one way or another!

Welcome!

Have you considered temping to confirm when you've ovulated? It would likely take alot of the stress off if you have irregular cycles!

[Caerus]

Temping has been a huge blessing to me, with trying to figure out when/whether I'm O'ing.

Personally, if AF didn't show soon, I'd see a doc. They can give you some progesterone to end the cycle and advise you on what to do next (if anything). With any luck though, you are ovulating now and AF won't show for about 9 months!

I love the idea of temping. I fail in the actual remembering to do it. LOL.

Supposedly, it takes 21 times of doing something for it to become habit. So if you can keep it up for ONE cycle, then you should be good

I put my thermometer on top of my alarm clock, so when I reach over to turn it off, my hand hits the thermometer first. Easy-peasy!

Hmm, 21 times, hm? So even if I didn't remember every day during one cycle, as long as I consistently just kept doing it as much as I could...it should become habit?

I think I'll have to try that. I use my phone as my alarm clock, so I'll just put the thermometer on my phone.

Thanks!

PS: Is it worth even bothering to buy another pregnancy test considering I don't know if I o'd or not?

I agree with the other ladies on temping, it helped confirm I wasn't ovulating.

I would wait a few days take another test then call the dr. Hopefully they won't let your cycle go on forever. Do they know you are trying?

No. They don't.

I thought last week for sure I was going to start my period. It felt like my uterus was just mildly achy for a week straight. I had mild cramps, too, but that always turned out to be gas and/or crap cramps! That disappeared yesterday, though.

One thing I'm curious about is that generally I'm always so very, very tired. However, this past two weeks or so, that exhaustion is going away. I'm finding myself with more energy, and less thinking about how desperately I just want to nap.

Provided I didn't O, my progesterone should be really low, right? I"m wondering if that has something to do with the fact that I'm perpetually exhausted and suddenly not anymore.

That's exactly what I Do. Good luck to ya!

[captivate]

it maybe just a fluke cycle for you. 7 out of 10 women have a cycle where they don't o every year.
