Just got my bfp this morning in cycle 16! We were diagnosed with "unexplained infertility" two months ago. Cycle 15 was anovulatory, no lines on my OPK whatsoever, and then no period. But it was like I just skipped over that cycle and ovulated the next month super strong. I guess technically it was cd 42. And funny enough, this was finally it!
The difference this month was my attitude. I used self hypnosis downloads from the internet to relax. I forced myself to think more positively. I tried to focus on having a baby, not on the nuts and bolts of getting pregnant. I repeated positive affirmations to myself. When negativity or jealousy wandered into my mind, I forced myself to push it out. Those negative thoughts had become automatic. Maybe I was just needed to spend the last year of depression and hell to get to that place, but I really believe that this positive outlook made the difference this month. Everybody says "don't stress," and that always made me so mad. But while you can't just turn off the stress, there are active things that you can do to try to relax your mind.
Good luck to you all!
