Opk nightmare

I just need a place to vent.

I'm on CD 16, been doing opks since cd10 and today I just got a stark white test. I'm so down in the dumps about it.

I had a late miscarriage late November so feel a desperate sense to be pregnant again. My first cycle after was 37 days which was expected. Last months was 28. I've been taking myo inositol since mid December to help regulate my cycles as there's a question mark around PCOS and it seemed to be working so well but I've broken it this month 😭 I think I've eaten it into not working and gained a lot of weight since my loss.

It really doesn't help my partners friend called him yesterday to tell him about her pregnancy. Complete accident. She'd been doing opks to prevent pregnancy but clearly it didn't work. I think we both felt the injustice yesterday.

Nowhere really for my frustration to go so just thought there would be plenty here who might understand. I think I'm in for a long cycle this month and feeling a bit hopeless.

@Rosegold3112 so sorry to hear about your miscarriage 💐

It is a frustrating waiting game. I'm on CD31 today and still haven't had a positive OPK yet either. My periods took a year to return after coming off the pill and are now still very irregular. I think some of us just have more extreme reactions to hormonal changes and sometimes need to let things settle.

I'm lucky enough to already have been seen by fertility because though I have no other symptoms of PCOS my ovaries look mildly polycystic on scans. They were going to prescribe me femara but my last cycle was 37 days so within the normal range, they said to come back if they are longer than 42 days which is going to happen this cycle I suspect unless I've just missed my peak!! My best friend had just announced her pregnancy. Super happy for her (genuinely) but desperate to join her in that club!!
