Question confused...frustrated!!!

hi everyone!!! hope everyone had a great holiday!!
well i'm a little confused, my chart had originally told me that i had o'd on cd 12. i'm currently on cd 22 and today i charted a high temp of 98.3. (also to note i have had a head cold, i had a fever saturday but not since so i don't know if that plays in it) so the chart changed today saying i o'd on cd 17. we bd plenty for the cd12 but tappered off due to holidays and thinking i had o'd. then from about cd 14 til now off and on i have pains on the left side. not hurting but enough that i feel it. today i noticed i have tender nipples, almost like before af. maybe its coming i'm not sure....cause i haven't had 2 cycles in a row since last december. i'd hate to have missed my o, we did bd before cd17 and luckily the day after by luck but i'd hate to have wasted a perfectly good cycle ya know?? so i'm just frustrated!!!! i think i'm done wasting money on opk's cause i get so many positives that i feel like it doesn't work. dah well, i guess there is always another cycle.

Re: confused...frustrated!!!

Here is my current theory about OPKS and the like its not very popular but I'm trying not to stress my self out to much with "extras" however that being said if I ever get my period i'm thinking about charting.

So my current theory is:

"BD approx everyother day all month then whenever I O i'll be ready"

My guess is that you not feeling well threw everything off and that the first prediction of your O date was correct.
Good Luck God Bless

Re: confused...frustrated!!!

Terp, thats my plan too. I figure if we BD every other day, you won't be able to miss when you O even if you arent charting! Seems like the easiest and cheapest way to me. We are new to this; I just went off the pill Dec 1st. AF is a no show so far this month.

I have one question though. When you figure your cycle, do you count from day one of AF to the day before the next AF or the days from when you stop to when you start or what?

Re: confused...frustrated!!!

Hello, babyluv01.

If you have irregular cycles it will be more difficult to predict when the O day really is. The thing is, you should (theoretically) only be getting a + on the OPK's one--maybe two--days per month. Irregular cycles will naturally throw this off as well, but nonetheless, you should know when you O.

BTW, have you ever take a HPT? 'Cuz it's entirely possible that your "irregular periods" are short-lived pregnancies. How long have you been TTC? Studies have shown that couples who try to get pregnant and have regular BD's only conceive 17% of the time every month. Halfway through a year, that's between 80-90%. And after 2 years, it's about 97%. (Of course by this time, some couples are inevitably counted more than once.) Only about 1/10 couples are infertile.

I am inclined to agree with the others that you should just have all of the BD's you want and eventually it will happen. And, FYI, a lot of dr's will tell you to BD every other day to make sure there's enough semen for fertilization. My wife and I took this advice the wrong way for the longest time. We thought that meant that by abstaining every other day, you are building up more semen. But upon further research, we discovered that there should always be enough semen to fertilize an egg, so really what they're saying is that you should BD AT LEAST every other day, rather than AT MOST every other day. That made our lives easier.

Re: confused...frustrated!!!

Thanks for all that advice everyone!!! very much appreciated as for me possibly being pg its highly doubtful considering my history. a brief one for ya...was on the pill cause when i was younger my period was so scarse, and it fixed it. but last oct the doc changed my brand and by jan of this year that was my last period. i did a hpt in march and it was neg. so i finally was able to see a doc in oct and he had me on progestin for 7 days. i had a cycle. then i didn't have another til dec 5th. and thats where i'm at now. i've had 2 periods this yr. i got off bcp in may. so we've been trying since then. doc's doing blood work on my cd21. bd every other day was my thoughts too. can't miss anything with that now can ya. i've had 3 pos opk's this month. and they weren't maybes either, u could tell they were noticeable darker or the same as the test line. well i'm hoping to get some news from the doc. my worst thoughts are that he's gonna say that all the tests are normal and i'll have to keep trying without any help to stimulate things. keeping fingers and toes crossed. thanks for the support.
