I don't know what to feel or think?

[ReneePalmer]

My husband and I JUST recently started trying. Before this we were ntnp but after health issues with both sets of parents we want to be able to bless our parents with their grandchildren before it's too late. When I say we just started trying I mean I have no idea what to do. I got a fertility tracker, started us on vitamins and bought ovulation tests to test after my next cycle but the problem is that my period isn't here. According to the tracker I should be ENDING my period today, 6 days late. I know that's not really a problem, but it's making me so anxious and because of my disorder it's alot worse than it sounds. I don't know when to test so I tested two days ago, and I'll test again on the tenth. I'm just so nervous and I can't keep my mind off of it. Ibe been known to give myself false symptoms when my anxiety is high so, I don't know what to do.

Did you have any idea of when you ovulated? Maybe you ovulated a little later this cycle. I would do a hpt asap. Maybe you got pregnant this cycle!

My fertile days (according to my period tracker) were the 8th through the 14th with my ovulation day being the 13th. I was intimate on the seventh the eight and also the eleventh so it's a big possibility but I'm not sure how accurate it is because I've only tracked aug. Period. I took a test on Monday I want to wait until the tenth to take another. Just so I don't psych. Myself out

Unfortunately it's really not accurate unless you test with a opk. That will give your your surge day so that you know when you ovulate. Our ov days are not the same all the time. Even the most textbook cycles are off every now and then. Hopefully you caught the egg this month! Good luck!

Well I sure hope so! Thanks

Hi Renee,

I know the pressures of wanting children especially for the Grandparents as well as for me and my Hubby too. (I never got to meet mine and I always have that in the back of my mind. Also wondering what they would think of me even now!)
In the nicest way possible I would say try to write how you are feeling or talk about it rather than bottle things up and become stressed. That helps with my anxiety

Its great youve started the ball rolling with the vitamins and Opks

Hopefully you will get some news from the tests soon. Good Luck!

Hey,
Might I start off by saying I'm in love with Labyrinth. Second of all- thanks for the tip! I enjoy writing, I do it often. I tested again yesterday. It was negative but as of today AF is 10 days past due. I have been testing middle of the day or night because of my work schedule I work nights so it's hard to get up early. And I read somewhere I need 3 hours of uninterrupted sleep before I take my bbt or anything like that. I'm gonna test again on the 14th & make sure I wake up to test early. If not I'm gonna make my way to the drs.

Im glad someone else can appreciate my Labyrinth fixation!
How are you doing, Any updates or changes? Thinking of you.

 

[ReneePalmer]

Sorry it's been so long. I ended up seeing my doctor and he did blood work and sonograms to be 100% that I'm not pregnant. And I am not. Which is okay! Because this was only the first of many months to come. Right now I'm focusing on tracking my cycle and just having fun trying :^) thank you for your concern and there will definitely be more coming from me! ♡♡♡

Heya! Its nice to read you again :wave:

Good to hear youre well. Thats a very positive way of looking at your journey and I try to think the same. There is nothing more useful than getting to know your body and cycles.

All the best and I will see you around
