Plus Sizes, Irregular Periods, and Frustrations of TTC

[SarahE]

Okay, so I'm new to this whole TTC thing, and I've just started charting cm and using OPKs. I took two OPKs, last night and night before Ans they were similar in darkness, but idk if they were positive or not. Cm is clear and egg-white like but it doesn't stretch. What does this mean??? My DH and I BD'd yesterday afternoon (we both work second shift.) So idk. Lol Thoughts??

What cycle day are you on? We can't say much without knowing that.

Sorry for waiting so long. I'm on CD50 today. AF ended February 6th.

Hmmm... If your period ended the 6th, and today is the 13th, I don't think you'd be on CD50. But someone correct me if I'm wrong.

To count cycle days, you start counting when your period shows up. So the day your period comes is a new cycle, CD1. You count from CD1 until your next period arrives.

Let's say your period started on Feb 1st, and ended the 6th. Today is the 13th, which would mean you're on CD13, or 13 days since your cycle began (period started).

My periods are really long sometimes. Lol this last one was 6 weeks. (Don't ask, I font have a diagnosis yet.)

It started December 25th, ended February 6th. I'm now on CD51, and took some more OPKs, got a DARK positive this morning, so DH and I are BDing tonight. Don't know if we will tomorrow or Saturday, but I'm hoping to Saturday just to make sure.

Ohhh, I see. I'd definitely go to the gynecologist and find out what's up with the period situation. Good luck!
