Back to work! (+ chart stalk request)

ChloBub · January 2012

Girls, I've had so much fun spending countless hours bumping over my winter vacation, but it's back to work today. Thanks so much for helping me get through the toughest holiday season I've had. Here's hoping 2012 is full of hope and joy for ALL of us.

If you don't mind, would you take a look at my chart? My CM and OPK results are not matching my CHs. Do you think I've O'd? I had a major breakdown last night after my 8th day of negative OPKs (testing 2 or 3 times a day). I don't want to be peeing on sticks or checking CM, I want to be 20 weeks pregnant. Sad Sorry to be a downer in the morning, I'm just really frustrated and disappointed. I'd love a second or third or fourteenth opinion.

Thanks, ladies. Have a great hump day!

based on temps, I'd say yes so far... but it's odd that the temp went up without the OPK being +.... how often do you POAS for the OPK?

I agree. I think you did based on your temps but it is such a slow rise. I wonder if that is maybe why you never got a +opk?

At least 2x a day, 3x recently since I've had fertile CM and a temp rise.

I'm stumped. Based on your temps, it certainly looks like you O'd on the day FF gave you or even the day before. I've had that same slow rising pattern on a couple of my cycles.

But based on CM, I don't think you would have O'd that early, if at all.

Have you used OPK's before and seen a positive? Sometimes OPK's aren't that reliable so I wouldn't go based on those alone. Maybe if I looked at your chart a couple of days from now, things would be more clear.

I know how you feel about all of this charting. I should be 20 weeks too and it's just ridiculous that I have to go through all of this hassle when I should already be halfway there. Don't feel bad about being a downer...we all have those days. TTCAL is definitely not an easy thing.

I am betting you missed your surge too.
Sorry about your frustrations, it is hard to get frustrated and remember where you "should" be and that you shouldnt have to be dealing with pee sticks and this stuff.

I should be 20w on Friday. Boo--cant things just be easy for once?

I've been stalking your chart for a while since we're CD1 buddies. When I looked at it this morning (before seeing this), I thought--wow, looks like she did O and missed the surge. Frustrating, for sure, since you're testing so frequently. Do you have good timing in case FF is right?

Yes, we have had pretty good timing, so FX I guess! Thanks for all the input, ladies.
