Day 9 of flashing smiley, experts come and help me out!

[ThirdTimeLucky123]

Please help me I’m winding myself up into a frenzy!

On month 5 of ttc, always had 28 day cycles and O’d day 14 (have been tracking my cycles for 2 years so I know them inside out, haven’t been on any hormonal birth control for over 4 years, have never temped though just OV sticks)

Last month I had 2 high fertility signs on day 8 and 9 of cycle. Then peak solid smiley on day 10 which is very early for me but I just shrugged it off as one of those things. My resting heart rate did rise slightly on day 10 too but is pretty all over the place anyway so I didn’t pay much attention. Had a 25 day cycle this month and didn’t conceive.

This cycle my period ended day 4, I started testing day six and had a low fertility sign, then high fertility day 7. I’ve had high fertility for 9 days in a row and it’s day 15. My resting heart rate has stayed completely stable since the last day of my period which has never happened before either. I’ve had period type cramps every evening for the last 3 days which I usually get when I ovulate though, and I have been sleeping terribly so sometimes my FMU is at 7am after last peeing at 2:30am type of thing. So does this mean I haven’t ovulated this month? Or missed my peak? I have 3 more sticks shall I keep testing and DTD or write it off for this month?

I’m a worrier anyway and these last 2 cycles being so different has sent me into a panic!

Thanks for reading

ThirdTimeLucky123 I'm onto cycle 7 ttc and have given up with Clearblue monitor, it sounds like this could well be an anovulatory month for you but i wouldn't 100% rely on the monitor. I found it worked well for the first few months then seemed to just do as it pleased. Last cycle i used it but also did cheapie opks and temp charting. The cheapies and temp both suggested i ov'd on cd 19 which i suspected already but according to the monitor i didn't ov, just gave me Highs and no Peaks the whole cycle.

if it helps, I didn't get a peak the month I conceived

Ah ok thank you! After such reliable cycles for so long Im seriously worrying that it’s all gone wrong. Will finish my sticks then just got cheapies next month I think.
