Age of LO(s): 2 & 4
Month/Cycle: 9/10
CD/DPO: WFAF – temps are down and I started spotting so now just the waiting game.
Timing: N/A
RRCS: I’ve always used the digital OPKs but damn, they are expensive AF! I bought a case of wondfos for this month. We have family staying with us for 2 weeks (8 people) and it will be during my FW. My kids will be sleeping in our room. ::cries:: I honestly don’t know how we will be able get in good timing this month.

remi I feel like we are in the worst part of the cycle. No BFP and no AF. Good luck with your doctor tomorrow! purple Sorry your AF is so horrible this month. Parenting when I don’t feel good is the worst form of torture.

Pretty sure I’m getting AF. I’m getting some darker discharge and feeling my cervix and it’s hard and open and some bright red CM. Cool

Sorry remi . I hate cycles that are just different enough to get our hopes up. I hope you have some closure on this one soon. You too wildhoney . Sorry this wasn't the month. And that next cycle is going to be hard. It's so frustrating when life interferes with FW. And I know what you mean about the digital OPKs. I still use them because I like something telling me yes or no. I have a fertility monitor but it always seems to miss my + because it only let's me test once a day...so I still use the digis at night when EWCM shows up to catch my +.

Month/Cycle: 14/ 6AL
CD/DPO: 21/8
Timing: -3,-2,-1,O
RRCS: You guys already saw my chart. Temps were way back up today so FF put O back to CD13 like I thought. I should test Saturday but I'll probably test early so I'm not POAS on my EDD. If I'm being honest I'll probably start peeing on things tomorrow just cause I like to.

purple, so sorry, hope AF lets up soon. hugs wildhoney & remiAge of LO(s): 2.5 Month/Cycle: 19/3 AL CD/DPO: 14/-1 lol Timing: Just did my trigger shot, IUI scheduled for tomorrow! We also hit -2, -4 RRCS: I like feeling like we're moving forward and all of this is in someone else's hands (mostly) but the last few days have been stressful! My body didn't seem like it was gearing up to O (barely any EWCM, no rise in sex drive, OPKs really light), had an u/s yesterday and my dominant follicle was at 15 and they want over 18 in order to trigger so I was scheduled to go back tomorrow but this morning I had a positive OPK out of the fricken blue...so another u/s this afternoon and that lil follicle grew to 20!! So now we're doing our first IUI tomorrow! Whoa. H took yesterday and today off so he could be around for all these appointments so of course it didn't go as planned, lol.

OK. Question of curiosity. I don't use OPKs as HPTs BUT...will the line on an OPK ALWAYS be dark leading up to a bfp? Just curious if anyone has actually tried it.

When I got mine I had lines on my opk but it wasn’t a positive test.... like the line wasn’t darker but it was a line. After I had a clear negative. Everything crossed for you!

I think opk will produce a faint line at anytime in your cycle. I'm not sure about the rest

sammysam everything crossed for you! I would test early too. I love POAS. 🤷🏻♀️ even when it makes me miserable! charliefox I'm so excited for you, I hope everything goes well with your IUI tomorrow! remi so sorry about the impending AF. Treat yo self? I always do. 😬 wildhoney same to you, and it's the worst to have houseguests during FW! We had that in Jan/Feb and it was soooo awkward and frustrating. We had some very strange attempts at getting the job done and joked we'd give the baby the name of the IKEA rug we dtd on as a middle name. purple sorry for the exceptionally heavy AF, worst. Buuuut I did just read a random article today citing a study that chances of conception are better after a longer (than 5 days), heavier period. You can throw glitter at me. Yogurt thanks for convincing me to come and check in here, and for being so supportive.

I've used an OPK alongside an HPT (got a lil crazy there when I was pregnant with my son) and I remember there being a dark line on the OPK, can't remember if it was as dark/darker than the control line but it was at least close. As Yogurt said, there is almost always a slight line on an OPK no matter what time in your cycle. HCG and LH are very similar hormones, as it works an OPK can pick up HCG and LH but with an HPT it doesn't work as well to pick up LH. I just did a trigger shot and it was synthetic HCG which will force me to ovulate (that's how close the hormones are).

Age of LO(s): 4, and 2 on Friday! (😭)
Month/Cycle: 10/7
CD/DPO: CD 37/DPO anyone's guess. Might have O'd between CD 21-33. There are a few hints it could have happened (some EWCM and darker OPKs than average) but nothing definitive. Got a new battery for my BBT in hopes I can get some solid temp info next cycle.
Timing: really good or just terrible, depending on when in that window I theoretically O'd if at all. If it was between CD 19-23, or CD 29- present, we're great. We had that really stressful week between CD 23-28 where we didn't dtd at all. WHOMP. It's really hard to feel like we need to have sex EOD for upwards of 50 days at a time.
RRCS: see above? I'm also feeling like I have no idea when or if to test at all, and I'm trying to resist the urge to POAS with reckless abandon. It's very normal for my cycles to go into the mid 40s length wise so I could be waiting well over a week for AF and I need to just sit on my hands.

Tlex, are you not a fan of charting? Personally, I can't stand not knowing what's going on in my cycle - the guessing game just stressed me out! lol FX you hit your FW!

Oh I chart it's just a hot mess and FF doesn't know what to do with me. It's gotten me KU enough to know the problem this time is me not FF. The app popped up with an alert this month saying my month to month data was so inconsistent they aren't able to predict a chart for me this cycle. That was new and disheartening, but also made me laugh. Usually I just get a little red bubble alert saying I should remove cycles that are inconsistent with my norm from my data. Alas, it seems I no longer have any sort of norm. My body will show all kinds of false starts (temp rises, CM, etc) and then fail to O.

Sorry, I kind of feel like I don't go here because my body is so special snowflake about everything. I've never been sure where to post re: TTC. I know PCOS is common enough though.

You totally go here! I just wasn't sure of your TTC history etc. Special snowflakes are definitely allowed I still hang out here even though I'm also on the IF board and I've been here forever...it helps me to have support from people who are also TFAS.

Aw ok good! I apologize in advance for how many times someone will say something totally rational and I'll be like "yeaaaah but my body is a no." I'm thinking it's time to tell my family doc here I want a referral to an RE just so I can feel like someone else is helping me manage all of my body's... this.

BFN this morning...but it's only 9 dpo. I'll test for 2 more days and then I feel like I should either see a line or AF by then. AF shouldn't be later than Friday. But breasts are still very sore and feel much heavier than normal so I have some hope. I might have peed on an OPK yesterday...but the second line was super light so that sort if took away some of my hope.
