TTC #1 and feel like I'm failing a test I didn't know I was taking.

[keepthehope]

TTC for 9 months. After BC my cycle was really irregular - took about 7 months to regulate at between 28-35 days, usually on the long end. I've been doing ClearBlue digital ovul tests that are supposed to tell you fertile window and peak fertility, and my tests always go right from NEG to PEAK - no fertile window. I stopped bleeding Sat and now it's Wed (only day 8) and I'm already at peak fertility. My Ovia app said the fertile window was next week, so we only had sex twice, and then when I updated my info my fertile window changed to start Saturday. So now I've failed a test I didn't even know I was taking - I'm already at peak fertility and missed 2 days to have sex - one because I was barely done bleeding!
How can I be fertile this quickly?
And secondly, my cycle will still be long, so that means my luteal phase alone is almost a MONTH LONG. No 2WW for me - it's a 4WW...so most of my cycle is spent waiting to be disappointed.
Has anyone else gone through a similar cycle? Any tips for me? This cycle pattern has been the norm for the last 5 months, so this is what it is. I feel like I'm set up to fail.
All advice welcome.
PS - husband sperm normal, my blood tests so far normal, but getting appts to begin looking at cycle at doc this month.

I don't have any specific advice, but I wanted to wish you good luck. Keep your head up. TTC sucks, but you'll get it.

I will say that temping is a much more reliable determination of when you are ovulating. Also, TBH I used the cheapie Wonfo strips and I liked them better than the digital ones because they give you a gradual progression of the line getting darker.

I don't know if that helps, but I hope so... GL

The support is helpful, thank you!

So far I haven't tried temping - I will try. In the meantime hubby and got busy yesterday and today and we'll hope for the best.
