Hi all!

I'm 24 years old and TTC number 2 for just shy of 2 years (April 17 will be 2 years.) number 1 was an accident and completely unexpected so i didnt think we'd struggle so much.

but! this cycle (my cycles are anywhere from 19-62 days) i decided to relax a bit. didn't buy more Ovulation tests and didnt check my BBT. i noticed some EWCM (was really stretchy!) now...20 days ago and 15 days ago. so we DTD,and used some conception aiding lube (TMI, sorry!) and I still havent had AF.
my boobs hurt, but that has happened once or twice before AF before. (they've been hurting since Tuesday though and I dont think they've hurt for more than 3 days before..) and I have been noticing a lot of smells, but i don't know if thats just because the places i smelled the smells were extra smelly.

my period has never not come when i expect it to...(always 15dpo) but! as i wasn't using OPKs, i'm not 100% sure when i ovulated, though i checked my BBT once a couple of days ago, and it was a post-O temp.

i know its too soon to get my hopes up, and i couldnt handle another -hpt.
so please! help me! lol because i will already be devastated if the witch shows up, i can't let myself get my hopes up anymore.

how have you other long-termers kept sane over the months/years?
:flower:
 
First of all - hugs.

When your body is playing up, especially if you want a baby, it is annoying. And cruel. And unfair.

The only advice - test again soon.

If no period and still negative, do a blood test.

Other than that - no advice.
Just hugs.

And... How I keep my sanity... I just gave up on TTC. And am just not preventing a baby (at least I am trying to think this way).
 
I'm right there with you. Relaxed this cycle (mainly because I knew I'd be stressing out over my wedding) and I should be having the witch show up today or tomorrow butttt..... no signs of her so far. None of the normal symptoms or anything. Usually my cycles are all over the place so I'm not putting too much into this but the last two were exactly 28 days!

As for my sanity? .. I haven't kept it XD But I pretend that I have.
 
I wish I had some sanity tips, but I really don't know how I do it every month. Some months are harder then others, and some months in numb.

Have you seen a doctor? That quite a range in cycles. Could be a hormone imbalance?
