My first month REALLY using OPKs and I am totally stressing!
Last month I tried using OPKs but got really agitated with them and stopped after I got a maybe positive (it was the line tests) so this is my first REAL month using them (I have the digital now). I keep testing every night and I was certain I would get a smiley either yesterday or today but still nothing. I am getting so nervous that I wont get one and something is wrong with me! I get O-like symptoms every month so hopefully it will happen soon... Who knew TTC was SO stressful!!!

I stressed out also and finally got my smiley on CD 14 or 15. Where are you in your cycle?

to you as well! Hopefully you get your smiley soon!!
Honestly I just don't think I have it in me to plan and test and temp anymore! and this is only month two! TTC has consumed my whole life.. I told DH this month I am giving it everything I got and if it doesn't happen then we are going to just take it as it comes. The stress can't be good for ttc anyways...

I have no idea and that is a big part of what is causing my stress! Sometimes I tend to "spot" the week before my period and it progressively gets heavier and heavier and then AF is here. I had bleeding for 14 days this month! If I am counting CD 1 as the first day I starting bleeding (heavy enough for a panty liner but not heavy like AF) then I am on CD 21. If I count when AF came heavier than I am on CD 13-14 or so.
I just feel like I have no idea what I am doing through all this! I don't even know how to check my own CM...DH and I have been  like everyday so it's hard to check my CM when there is leftover semen all the time (sorry if tmi). I don't think I will never have this all figured out!

I don't get the whole CM thing...haha I haven't even tried to figure it out. I think I would get too stressed. I say BD every other day and if you can just keep testing. I know its annoying. If you think you are CD 13-14 you should be getting your smiley soon.
