Got a ttc kinda question.

Cycles have been wacky after I had my IUD removed in September.  One 28 day cycle, then a 24 day cycle.  Now AF was due Saturdayish and is still not here.  I tested Friday and Sunday.  BFN. 

So if AF never shows and I am not pregnant, I have no idea when I ovulate next.  This trying to conceive thing is stressing me out. 

I think maybe I need to start chartin or something.  Any tips?

    I'd look at TCOYF and try temping and paying attention to your CM (yea...).

    Charting drives me batty....and its really not all that accurate.

    Do you have any idea what day (in these cycles) you possibly ovulated? Have you ever used OPKs?

    i never got a PP AF, but when we wanted to TTC this time i used an OPK.

    we didn't prevent, didn't use OPK in august...just had lots of sex all the time = BFN

    didn't prevent, used OPK in september = BFN

    didn't prevent, used OPK in october = BFP

    i used OPK to get pregnant with jack too and it worked the first time then. i used the Answer brand ones each time because they have 20 test strips, which is useful when you haven't had a PP AF! i peed on those things like it was my job - lol!

    I'm using FF, but I'm sorta sucking at temping, so my chart is going off my random temps & CM.  I think if this month doesn't work out for us I'm going to A) invest in some OPKs and B) glue my thermometer to my hand before I go to bed so I remember it in the morning.

    I have an idea and we actually used protection this past month in order to avoid being due near BIL's wedding and that is why I am clueless to why AF didn't show up.  I've never used opks.  Go figure that we get pregnant the first time only because I missed a few bcps and this time it takes precision and calculation!  The irony.

    I guess we should just have sex every day this month!

    I also had my IUD removed in September & my cycles are crazy! I had a 26 day then 33 day cycle. I'm currently on CD 38 & nothing! I have been charting & this cycle looks annovulatory.

    Start charting! Read Take Charge Of Your Fertility and then start charting. I used Fertility Friend when we were trying, and I upgraded so it would show crosshairs and whatnot. But I just used the free version when we werent trying. I charted cervical mucous and temperature. We conceived on our first month trying.

    Well, just home from a nice dinner out with the family and bam!  AF arrived.  So that makes for a 33 day cycle this time.  Let's get a charting!
