So my cycles are apparently getting longer (or, if not a trend, at least these last 2 have been longer than the ones before them), and I'm so frustrated. lol. Not only does that mean that I'm sittin here waaaiting for AF so I can start my next cycle, but it makes me REALLY regret not doing OPKs this cycle. While I was sure to hit the days leading up to and when I thought I O'd, I was pretty much spent at that point and there was nothing goin on after that, during what I now realize were probably my most fertile days. ::shakes fist::
BUT, I have some OPKs that a friend who got her BFP had left-over, and I think I have enough to get me through this next cycle (IF IT EVER STARTS. I'M LOOKING AT YOU, UTERUS!). So just looking forward to getting that started, and looking forward to seeing a line when I POAS, even if it's not "THE" line. lol
This happened to me my first three cycles, and it's exactly why I started using OPKs. In fact, this month we estimated and BIO 4 days in a row around when I normally O - but I took an OPK on a whim when seeing EWCM later that week, and it was positive; I had O'd 4 days later than I thought. In short, use 'em! Plus it IS fun seeing two lines, even if they're not THE lines.
I'm happy to recycle my OPKs and HPTs if I no longer need them. I'll even throw in some water!!
