It doesn't really help that I'm a total newbie to temping and OPK's either lol. I really don't know what to expect at this point.

Not to add to your confusion, but last cycle with Clearblue Advanced, I got a solid week of blinking smilies before a solid one. The 2 days that they say is a lie. I used them a few months ago, and got 4 days of high. Hopefully your experience will be better than mine!

Hey there!  A lot of ladies on here have had issues with the CB advanced.  If you want a digital, I would go with CB regular for future cycles if this isn't your month. I also noticed you had the CB Fertility Monitor filled out on your chart - I guess if you're using the advanced you might as well use that box to track it! Looks like you're in the FW with cm and the high OPK, I would HIO EOD until you get a positive on the OPK. GL!

Well I'm back on the crazy train.

Crazy level: 10

CD/DPO: CD32/15DPO (with a BFFN)

Can't I just ___ already?! Get AF!

Explain your crazy: well tested at 15dpo per my RE and got another BFN. Great way to conclude month 25 of TTC. So I stopped my progesterone and now just really really want AF to come so I can move on and have my WTF convo with my RE. Definitely time for something different. This was cycle #4 of Clomid for me and the last two cycles I've had a shitty response.

That is all.

(((Hugs))) So sorry for the negative.  TTC can be so frustrating sometimes. Is your RE going to change the plan for the next month?

Sorry for the frustrations.  It's tough waiting when our bodies don't behave the way we want them to!  Are you aware of when you usually O? I saw a couple cycles ago it was CD 18 for you, so being CD 20 isn't too far off.  What kind of OPKs do you use?  Are you seeing any difference in the shades of the line?  Personally, I would continue to use the OPKs since I tend to have more stress not knowing what my body is doing.

I completely understand going the NTNP route next month, it certainly can be more relaxing on your sex life!

I tend to O CD 14-16 that CD 18 O was the first cycle post my MMC which wasn't a normal cycle for me so the fact that I havent O yet will have my period starting later than usual. I just have a strong feeling that something isn't right mid cycle spotting isn't normal for me and it's happened quite a bit this cycle and the lines on the OPKs are faint lines, darker lines, no lines there is no consistency what so ever and I get my hopes up every time I get a darker line only to be let down. It's overly frustrating, so only time will tell what's going on this cycle.

(((Hugs))) it is frustrating.  Our bodies synthesize LH in the late morning, so usually evening is best for OPKs to get an accurate read for that day.  I'm pretty impatient too, so I have hard time when my body doesn't cooperate.  Hang in there! Or on here

Thanks for the advice. I'll definitely think about switching if I need one next month.

negritosmami - Your temps still look good, so I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. Sorry for the BFNs and the cramping though.

T2Dsugar20 - I hope SOMETHING happens soon. Keep in mind, whatever your normal cycle was before a loss, it can be totally different after and it can take a while to regulate. It's totally frustrating not knowing, but it's pretty common for things to be different after a loss. It took about 3 months for my cycle to get back to any semblance of normal.

anpatton - Hope AF comes a little early for you so you can burn the bench.

mrsmccoy612 - If your monitor says you're good, HIO! There's no "perfect" time to have sex to get pregnant for the most part. Sex in your fertile window--generally 3-4 days leading up to O, although in ideal conditions sperm can live up to 6 days in your fallopian tubes--should be good enough.

nikiswimr - That fucking sucks. I'm sorry.

Thanks girl! I got too excited about my cycle seeming like it was going to be normal only to get to this shit. I should really pay attention to my cycles not TTC because now I'm hyper alert to everything that probably isn't any big deal and it is overly annoying.

[T2Dsugar20]

Nik ((hugs)) that's sucks I'm sorry

I'm going to push for a change of plan. We can't talk logistics until CD1 so Ijts still a waiting game. At most for the last two cycles I've had one maybe mature follie and several immature so not exactly increasing my odds with the drugs.

Yeah it sounds like you haven't had the greatest response to Clomid. Hope the talk with the RE goes well.
