CD 13 and waiting for +opk -- arrgggh!!

in TTC after 35
I'm visiting DH, it's the afternoon of CD13, and no +OPK yet, though I did have a bunch of EWCM this morning.  We BD yesterday and we will again today and tomorrow, but I have to leave by 4 pm or so tomorrow! And this is so frustrating!!! I've gotten +opk's before on CD 12 and thought I would again...of course, depending on how you count, it could *be* CD12, and it could just be too early rather than that my body is running late.  Still -- gagggh!!! Lemme tell you, if you think TTC is bad, TTC when you don't live with your DH is far, far worse.

    sucks ... this shiz is too unpredictable

    had and US on cd8 the RE told me i would probably get a +OPK in the next few days.  a week later, and after peeing on 3-4 sticks a day, and another US ... she said i would probably get a +OPK in the next few days.  didn't, instead used ovidrel for the IUI.

    doc said that stim meds can 'speed up' your normal cycle ... and then if you don't stim again, it can 'slow down' ... seemed like crap they just say when the real answer is 'who tf knows'.

    anyway, i'm sorry ... i can't imagine how much harder it would be to do try and do this without 'at will' access to the funky stuff.

    Ugh! I'm frustrated for you! Hope that your ovaries get a clue and hurry up! Enjoy your time together nonetheless.

    I feel for you!!!

    The docs have always told me to get it in there early. If you do ovulate Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday, you are still probably in good shape, especially with your EWCM.

    I am CD 14 and just got my + today but we've been bd'ing all week-end and now I'm sore with no ewcm. I always jump the gun on these things.

    Have fun with DH today!

    Good luck, Cooper! I am in a similar situation.  My husband is 1500 miles away, and I am thankful that Southwest lets me change my tickets with no charge.  Otherwise, I don't know that I would ever be in the right place at the right time!  We are going to miss our chance for this month, but I have my fingers crossed for good timing in May!

    Thanx everyone -- the Smile showed up at 10 pm and, ahem, we jumped right on it.  We've still got tomorrow too.  So we'll have done the best we can given our ridiculous lives....

    owlprof, I hear you.  I wish DH and I both lived in Southwest cities -- he does, I don't, it sucks.  But at least we timed it right this time.  Thank you, cycle, for being on the weekend....
