Cycle 1 is a bust


I peed on 7 sticks in 4 days and it’s pretty obvious I didn’t ovulate. The first two, although the darkest, were not positive; it’s hard to tell because of the picture quality/lighting and because they marinated for so long, but I’m sure they were negative at the time they were taken.


The last time I took a break from bc I was pretty certain I didn't ovulate the first month, so this was expected but still disappointing.

Aren't you just going to keep testing until you get a +? Maybe you'll still get one. I've gotten crazy late +opks w/ cycles every now and again. I simply pee everyday around 3pm until I get a + or I get AF.

By the way - 7 in 4 days? I thought I was a POAS-aholic! ~wink~

Thanks for your comment Nancy.
The last 2 times I took a break from bc my cycles stayed at 28 days, C1’s no known O, C2 O’ed on CD 15 or 16. Based on that and expecting my cycle to be 28 days I know that if I O’ed much later my LH would be too short to sustain the pregnancy. On CD 18 my cp went back to low/closed/and firm. So yeah, I’m out.
As for the 7 in 4 days, yes I am a POAS aholic, even though I know I didn’t O it is the hardest thing to keep myself from using the HTP’s I have at home. Also, we are going to try Shettlers method for sex selection, I know, I know, I know, but I’m still full of newbie hope, I’m sure after a few failed cycles and the novelty has worn off I’ll give that up. But for now I’m trying to pin point O to just a few hours rather than a day or 2.
