Who else is waiting to Ovulate?

This can be just as bad as the 2ww sometimes!
This is my 3rd cycle off BCP. My first cycle was 80 days, the second was 34 days, and I am currently on CD12 of cycle 3. I am not sure if my cycles will continue to shorten to 28 days (which is what they were before I went on the pill, but that was years ago). So, Ovulation can be any day from now until the end of next week. I started my OPKs today and will continue until I get a +. And I am charting also!

Anyone want to wait to ovulate with me?

Re: Who else is waiting to Ovulate?

I can relate!!!! Well, last month was my first month trying to figure out when I ovulated. I think I got it right (AF came yesterday and it was exactly 2 weeks ago from yesterday that I thought I noticed CM!), but it is really hard trying to figure it out after being on the pill for so many years. My 2 cycles seem to be pretty similar since being off BCP, 1st was 34 days, this one was 31. I'm not doing the OPK yet, so it makes it even tougher!

GOOD LUCK

Me...

I swear this morning I must have been a sight..at 6:15 in the morning still half asleep trying to take my temperature, trying to use the OPK... I really felt like saying - forget this all...its just too much work.

And the OPK was negative on top of it all!!

Re: Who else is waiting to Ovulate?

I'm with you... I remember we were in the 2WW at the same time, too!

I'm CD9 right now, and last month I ovulated around CD16. But who knows if the chart is right?

I'm with lolagranola on CD9 today, but I am not charting this month b/c last month I become crazed and analyzed everything. I typically O on CD14 - so I just plan to BD a lot this weekend/early next week.
You're right though, sometimes waiting to O is as bad as the 2WW!!:

Re: Who else is waiting to Ovulate?

I'm with you. I've been waiting since the end of May.

It's totally frustrating, but we'll just keep bding every couple of days until something happens...

"Waiting to Ovulate" just struck me as funny like the movie - Waiting to Exhale

I'm still on the first "month" post-BCP-- 76 days and counting...I'll wait with you. The way I'm going, you will probably lap me.

Re: Who else is waiting to Ovulate?

Yes! I just ovulated the past weekend but couldn't BD because of the biopsy I had, so now I have to wait until next month!!!

Re: Who else is waiting to Ovulate?

We can get thru this together!
CD13 for me... still waiting.

Re: Who else is waiting to Ovulate?

We just started TTC this month and I am feeling the pressure already.

I have been off the pill for 2 years now. We just used condoms until this month.

I had never paid attention to CM until now. I am not sure when I am ovulating. The only thing I know is that I am fairly consistent on my cycle about 26 days.

We kind of BD everyday since last Friday (day 12 after AF - I hope we did not start too late). Now on every other day.

I am now at day 18 from last AF. So now I guess it's the wait game and I don't like it.

Re: Who else is waiting to Ovulate?

i'm confused. how can your body not ovulate after 3 months or more? bear with me...i'm still learning so much about this ttc stuff

Re: Who else is waiting to Ovulate?

I'm with you ladies for sure, I have not ovulated since April.....

I just took prometrium to force a cycle, so now I am waiting waiting....and waiting....will have to do CLOMID in Nov. if I cannot ovulate on my own

Waiting is TORTUROUS!

Re: Who else is waiting to Ovulate?

I will also ask the dr. for Clomid if nothing happens soon. I have an appointment in 2 weeks to go over results from a sonogram I had last week. I

t's really frustrating when we're totally ready to ttc, but I have no idea when to bd so it will count!!

Re: Who else is waiting to Ovulate?

I am..CD9.. seems many of us are the same ones that were in the 2WW together. that we all get our BFP this time around!

What have you changed this cycle, if anything? I changes my OPK to ClearBlue Digital, and stopped temping.

Re: Who else is waiting to Ovulate?

At CD10 now. Stopped temping (which now I'm almost regretting but if I am BDing a lot it shouldn't make a difference), BD more, and added an assortment of disgusting foods & beverages (carrot juice, green tea, vitamins, baby carrots).

Re: Who else is waiting to Ovulate?

The sono wasn't done b/c I'm not ovulating. It was done b/c of some pain I had a couple of weeks ago. The pain was terrible for a day, then gone the next, so the doctors are not too concerned. The sono was just to make sure everything is okay.

Re: Who else is waiting to Ovulate?

I'm CD 20, and no O yet. My fertility monitor says I'm still 'high' fertility for the last few days. It has to happen this weekend. I need BD like crazy this weekend. DH is going on a business trip on Monday for a week.
This is my first month TTC since my m/c in July.
