@NightFlower I'm so sorry to hear that, I really hope that your AF stays away.
@tdog I just hate it when things don't match up and make sense like that! Like, you know when you ovulated, but your temps are not acting right now and your tests are all over the place. It's so hard!
@Suggerhoney I just want to say that your feelings are VALID. Please, don't think that anyone thinks you're being selfish or you should be happy to already have children when so many are trying and don't have any yet, because everyone's journey is theirs and theirs alone and we can't compare! I'm so sorry you're going through what you're going through, though, and my thoughts are with you, just like they are with everyone else!
I had a busy call schedule, one that was just like TTC, a lot of sitting around and waiting! I came on at 0800 and thought my patient would deliver quickly and she didn't deliver until 1700. So, I did a lot of reading through the thread, but I hate trying to post on my phone. I hope everyone else is doing well.
AFM, I am just as confused as a lot of us are, I really thought I O'd CD 18 on Wednesday but my temps aren't playing along and now I don't know if I just didn't O and I wasted $1400 worth of sperm, or if I did and I'm having a slow rise, which has it's own implications (absolutely nothing or that my progesterone is being wonky and won't sustain if I do conceive) which hasn't been an issue before. Also, I got a positive OPK early CD 17 where the test line was darker than the control, but both lines weren't very dark. I just thought it was a variation in the amount of dye in the test. BUT the next day, CD 18 when I thought I O'd, I got very dark OPK but both lines looked the same, matched. But, the PreMom app changed my Peak to CD 18.
My last two cycles I had distinct rises and my normal TWW symptoms of breast pain and cramping for AF, which is a good sign that you O'd and that progesterone is adequate. Sigh, I should have started charting again much sooner because I knew my plans were to start TTC this summer, but I was so overwhelmed with finishing school and trying to find employment that I couldn't focus on that until everything else settled. I attached my OPKs and chart if anyone wants to help me OBSESS over them like I've done the last 48hrs.
