Missing period! Stuck in limbo

[Skl2021]

Hi everyone just wanting some advice or experience. Ttc #3 last period was 19.12.2020 so was due on around 20th January. That has come and gone and still nothing. Negative tests obviously. Always been regular have missed the odd one before. Have also been using opks but there still all fairly light so nothing happening on that front. Just feel like I'm stuck in limbo. No ovulation happening up to now and no period. What do people do in this situation?! Just keep DTD? Or is it pointless with negative opks all the time. Soo frustrating. I'm now cd 49 roughly. driving myself mad testing all the time . Why does ttc make us go so crazy??!!

@Liz2021 sorry af got you! But I bet your happy it's done now and u can move onto the next cycle. I know I was! Good luck for this cycle 🤞

@Skl2021 thank you! Yes, I'm trying to stay positive. New cycle. Good luck to you too!

Hi everyone, I'm so confused!

I have just had a Positive OPK, my last period started on 2nd January so I'm on CD 46!

Am I just ovulating but not had a period this month or are they just faulty!?

What does this mean, I just want AF to arrive so we can try again!

@Sparkles512 maybe u just missed your period and now your ovulating again? The timing is about right isn't it. Can you take another one just to be sure it's not faulty? And obviously start getting busy 🤣🤞

@skl2021 yes the timing is exactly right for when I should be ovulating.
I've had stomach cramps today which could possibly be the start of AF or ovulation pains?
Is it a thing to miss a period but still ovulated? I'm not very good at all this TTC stuff haha

@Sparkles512 I think it is possible yes. And with all the signs your saying I would say u are! I would take another test just to be sure it wasn't faulty. How exciting if your are! Hoping I will be in the next week or so 🤞

@skl2021 I really hope so 🤞 I've been getting so frustrated that AF hasn't made an appearance and just wanted to get on with the next cycle!
Finger crossed for you 🤞

@Sparkles512 now your going to be entering the dreaded tww 🙈 keep us updated 🤞

@Sparkles512 without getting your hopes up, have you done a recent HPT? I've read a lot of positive OPK's after no period can also mean you're pregnant.

@skl2021 haha I hate the 2ww I'm so impatient and every symptom I convince myself I must be pregnant then get all disappointed when I get my BFN!
Fingers crossed for us this month 🤞
@crazydoglad123 I did one last Sunday so would have been around CD 39 which was negative.

@crazydoglady123 sorry got my numbers all muddled!
I did a test on CD37 BFN and currently on CD 44

@Sparkles512 did you track ovulation earlier on in this cycle?

@crazydoglady123 I think I ovulated around 18th/19th January.
If my last period was 2nd January then I would be around 6 weeks pregnant now so surely it would have been picked up on the test I did last Sunday if I was pregnant?
Maybe I'll do some more OPKS and possibly a pregnancy test later in the week

@Sparkles512 if you didn't use OPK's or track BBT maybe you didn't in fact ovulate or ovulate properly then, and are now? Yeah I'd do some more tests and maybe another HPT at the weekend

@crazydoglady123 I have positive OPKs 18th/19th January so I assumed I ovulated then?

I'm not sure then other than doing another HPT @Sparkles512 😐 or maybe speak to your doctors and see if they'll do a blood test?

@Crazydoglady123 are you starting testing today? How u doing?

@Sparkles512 did u try another opk?

@Skl2021 hey! Yep poas this morn and not fertile yet but we DTD Saturday and Sunday and tried out the preseed. It didn't hurt during intercourse but my abdomen felt quite sore after and this morning had some sharp ovary pain driving so not sure what's going on with the cysts atm. Booked in for another acupuncture session Friday (pre ovulation). Also ordered some coenzyme q10 tablets to try too (been reading up 🤓). How are you getting on?

@Crazydoglady123 how were your fancy tests then 🤣 I did one this morning but it's still early I'm only roughly cd7 just don't want to miss the big o! 🙈 How did your accupuncture go? Never heard of them tablets but hey anything is worth a go isn't it!

@Skl2021 tbh no different to the regular ones I used years ago, just syncs to the app on my phone 🙄 I feel so desperate atm to try anything! The acupuncture was actually okay...nothing like I remembered it to be! Have you tried preseed? I've been hearing nothing but really good success stories using it

@Crazydoglady123 ohh that's a bit of a let down. Love a good gadget. Yes I tried a number of things with my 1st. Never heard of it before might have to have a look at it. Trying not to get 2 dragged into it yet it's only the 2nd month. Glad u had a better experience this time and hopefully having another before ovulation does the job! Good to see how positive your being and giving yourself every chance possible! It can be really hard at times and stressful 🤪

@Skl2021 I have to admit I'm finding things the hardest at the minute like I feel totally consumed by it all and can't get it off my mind ☹️ I don't think the Clomid and what it created has helped or whether it's the fact that I feel like this is the final countdown now till the IVF starts but in the two year TTC this past month has felt the hardest

@Crazydoglady123 yes thats how I felt with my 1st it took over my life. All I could think about and I was constantly down. Worst feeling ever. Your doing a great job your trying everything possible to do it naturally and hey if it doesn't work u have IVF to look forward too. I know it will be hard but you just have to think of the baby at the end of it. 🤞 You won't even need to get to the IVF stage. Try and stay positive sometimes things happen when we least expect or when we give up trying so hard.
