Hi all --- looks like I am on the same timeline as y'all
New to the site and just needing to reach out!
After being on the pill almost 8 years, DH and I decided we were ready to try in November. My last pill was taken around Thanksgiving. At first I wanted nature to take its course, and I didn't know that much about charting. However, I am a planner, and after a few weeks of "letting things be", I started learning about charting.
Cycle 1 - 39 days (started charting at the end)
Cycle 2 - 36 days (slow temp rise starting CD24)
Cycle 3 - 29 days (poor charting this month, but guess temp rise CD18)
Now we are on cycle 4, and I started using OPK as well
I had positive OPK on CD 21 (BD) and CD 22 (BD CD23) and a fading OPK on CD 23. Looks like my temp started to rise CD 24.
Now I am CD34, with a BFN on CD 32 and CD 34.
Part of me feels like we have to be pregnant this time....we are in our 20s, healthy, and the chart looks right.....
But I have no "signs of pregnancy" like many people mention. In fact, I don't feel bloated at all and my boobs aren't sore. I have had continued watery CM which I keep thinking is my AF.
The other part of me thinks the BFN are right and AF will come soon enough...
Never thought this journey would be so frustrating.....when I was younger, I never truly understood what people were going through
Glad to be with people on the same timeline! Learning how to let go is hard....
