Right so this is a confusing one and I am aware I'm not doing this conventionally so really I'm just looking for opinions or by some miracle anyone who's experienced the same 😂
We're TTC at the mo, my partner wants a relaxed approach but I become obsessive. We have an 11 month old, I got pregnant again by accident 8 months ago but it wasn't to be and ever since then my cycles have been gradually getting longer. Before we conceived our DD my cycles went haywire I think from lockdown and either the stress or change in eating/exercise habits. Now it looks like they're doing the same and I find it hard to trust my cycles. Last cycle I was 3 weeks late.
This cycle I'm CD 21. Usual cycle lengths used to be 31 days. With this in mind, I should have o'd around the weekend just gone. I had some opk tests I used last cycle but with my period coming so late I ended up using loads and never really got any results so stopped. This cycle I started testing Friday and it was almost positive. I continued testing through to lunchtime sat and it stated on my app it was peak but never quite got darker and then I ran out of tests 🙄 some more arrived Mon and I tested late afternoon and the line was very faint so I'm hoping I properly peaked some point in between. I haven't been temping continuously but I'll occasionally take it in the morning when I remember. I know thus won't give me a clear picture of things but going by old charts I saw a rise in temp on Mon and Tues but today its back down. I have had some cramping which I thought could be o pains, and I had an abundance of ewcm on sun so although I don't have a full picture, I thought all the signs pointed to o happening sun or Mon. Even if it doesn't result in pregnancy this month I was just excited that I'll at least have a normal length cycle for me, so I was really disheartened to see that drop this morning. I'm hopeful it was an anomaly (my mum is staying with us and last night she had some allergic reaction episode, was taken away by ambulance at 2am, we had to call the hosp at 5am and then she was discharged at 7am so sleep was very broken or non-existent but would this really make my temp go down?)
So while I know no one can say for certain, and I'll temp over the next few days to get a bit of a clearer pic of where I might be at (although I'm aware it will never be the full picture cos I haven't done it til now anyway 😒) I'm just wondering for more opinions? Can I trust i may have o'd? Is my body playing tricks? Aaah relaxed approach my a**
Thanks for reading if you've got this far! I know it's long ❤️
