AT THE END OF MY TETHER :(

Morning ladies
I am now 13 days late for AF
But yet still getting BFN!!!
I'm now 8 months into TTC and it's mentally draining!
If I'm not positive this month now I'm totally confused as to when I'm next OV etc!!!
Just feeling so low with it all now :(

Sorry to hear you're having a hard time. Have you tried the GP, maybe they could do a blood test? I know it's so frustrating every month that passes without BFP

Do you track ovulation? If you don’t , you may have ovulated late or had a cycle where you didn’t ( which is normal)

@try9ng I'm going to make an appointment I think but it's just so frustrating isn't it!! I'm exhausted with it all and feel like it's never going to happen!!

@Queenofsupreme i do and for the last 2 months I've been using the clear blue machine! The first month I got a peak and the second month I was just high for 2 weeks! It's just so confusing

Did you have the covid jab , read that can mess things up. So you definitely ovulated and you know the date ( tbh the only way to know for sure you ovulated is bbt , you can still get peaks on opks and not ovulate)
So it could just be a rationale reason

@Queenofsupreme I didn't for that reason so who knows - what bbt would you recommend I've heard a few people say about it now

I did ovusense ( you wear it internally over night and read the average temp the next day) I found it much easier than using a basal thermometer but they’re cheaper. You can find the Basal thermometer on amazon.
You take your temp each morning and enter the reading into an app like fertility friend. After ovulation you should see a noticeable increase in your temperature. It’s so accurate I found. I once saw a consultant who did a scan and told me I hadn’t ovulated ( also progesterone was 13 on cd21!) I was so confident because of bbt and knew I had . I fell pregnant that cycle.
It’s definitely worth doing if you aren’t sure if you’re ovulating or not. There are lots of ladies doing it so try and join a bbt thread so they can help you with your first charts x

@Queenofsupreme thank you - you have been really helpful! I shall have a look out for those threads and get one ordered x

No worries at all and if you have any other questions let me know . Good luck x
