Does everyone here think about food ALL THE TIME?! :)
I keep trying to persuade myself that I should have a cheat tonight but then remembering I'm out tomorrow night for Indian (fat-filled) food and on Sunday for the afternoon tea! So have to stick to LE tonight but DH wants good old British Fish & Chips. I will compromise I think. Grill a veggie burger and have a small portion of the chips with it. Come on BFP! Come on Ovulation!
What is up with all of us having late pos. opks and o?! I too am waiting for pos. opk that should have come three days ago. I wish it would get here already so we can move onto the 2ww!

Last time I swayed, LE lengthened my cycles from 29 days longer and longer. The one we conceived DS3 on would have been about 44 days long! DH is now pitching for a Dominos tonight! Argh!
Xxforhubby, I should have O'd on Tuesday, we are (should be) about the same schedule. Fx for +opk's soon!
Thanks for the welcome, everyone :)
yogi, tara and XXforhubby, I hope those +OPKs come soon for all of you.
bluebonnet, Indian is my favorite and now I know what I want to order tonight.
purplepoet :fx: this is your month! I hope staying busy helps.
2nd high temp for me and CM has dried up, so I should see crosshairs tomorrow and then the waiting begins :nails: I'm SO hungry. I want to eat all the things. Weeziewoozles, I now have a craving for fish 'n' chips. ;)
FX for you Bee and PurplePoet!

CD 16, tested this morning and still no Pos OPK. I literally have run out of OPK wondfo strips so i'm going to go buy more CB digital refills tonight. SO ANNOYING. Add me to the late ov this month club!
Since being on the le diet it has brought my ovulation forward to day 14! But following my chemical pg last month I didn't ovulate til day 23 this month!!!!! So AF is 2 days late but as I am only 7dpo a test would be negative. Tomorrow is one of my best friends weddings. I am so annoyed that I won't know whether I'm pregnant or not as if I am I don't want to drink...despite everyone telling me I should. I will test in the morning so wish me luck!
Good luck to all you girls waiting to ovulate and those in the tww.
I am getting ovulation cramps on my right side- pretty bad ones. I hope this means I will get a pos. opk soon! They are so bad I had to take ibuprofen!

I've had some pretty good cramping today too, a little nausea and soar bbs.... Please let these symptoms be a sign of something positive!
I swear must have been that solar eclypse we had last week. Thank-you all for your wishes. I tested at lunch and its almost positive. I think I should have my positive opk tonight or tomorrow morning. I still have ewcm so im keeping my fingers crossed. I bd last night so If positive tonight I will try and get my 3 attempts in. Good Luck Ladies!
purplepoet I'm about the same place you are. I think af was due yesterday but not totally sure. LOL. I forgot to buy the good tests today I can try the cheap crapy ones tomorrow. I took one this morning and there was a real faint line.
yogi&booboo I hope this is your month and you can have all my blue baby dust. I have tons. LOL.
Omg please send it over Twins6. I want to smear it from on my self from head to toe. I send you every drop of pink your way and thank-you for your wonderful wishes. Good luck to you too!
Good luck Tarasue they sound like great symptoms!
Hi Ladies,
I'm joining the 'where is my +opk?' group. I thought I was getting mine early with almost positives at CD11. I normally fade in so was pretty confident but they faded to nothing and now I'm worried I missed it. DH thinks this is very unlikely given the amounting of testing I do ; ) It's so frustrating! Fingers crossed you other ladies now showing O signs can send me some.
Pkdream, I hear ya on fat chance for "missing" a +opk, I test so often I doubt it was missed! I have moved onto maybe these damn opk's are defective!!!! I need to just stop worrying about it. I honestly think I am freeking my mind into thinking I am having pregnancy symptoms & haven't even ovulated.
I am with you Tarasue! I keep thinking that maybe I won't ovulate this month. If this is a anovulatory cycle, I would have started bleeding by now. I had a very light and short period this month. I will test if I don't get a pos. opk. What is going on with us? :/

I don't know, but I am loosing patience with myself!
This is my first month off bcp and my hubby keeps reminding me that it may take a little bit for my bodies cycle to get on track, he is probably right, but in my martha mind things are not happening according to schedule!!
I think most of us are experiencing the same thing. So I thought I had an approaching +opk and nope, nada. This is super annoying now.
Count me in the frustrated with no positive opk camp! I leave town in less than 2 days, starting to get nervous!
:( Oh no Blue I hope you get your +opk very soon.
Well my cunning plan is to have my first proper cheat meal tonight, chill out and relax. Hopefully keeping a lid on Martha will lead to +opk tomorrow!
I have to share what my somewhat pos opk has looked like for the past 7 day. Super annoyed http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...7d854a1b69.jpg
OMG, there must be something in the air which is keeping everyone from ovulating! Here too! I keep telling myself for over a week now that I o soon and can have some cheat meals but opk's are bright white!
I too am going crazy, what if I missed it?? I am so happy I'm not alone in this..
Hang in there ladies!
Ladies, try testing when you first wake up if you think O is near. I have had several +OPK'S first thing in the morning. I do a lot of night shifts which might have a lot to do with it. It's worth a try though.
I never could get a positive opt. Even when I was cycling with monitoring so they knew when I was. Odd though. I think stress can keep you from ovulating.
I agree- testing first thing in the morning is a good idea. I am spotting enough to show on a panty liner. Maybe this is a anovulatory cycle after all. Hmmm. I have an appointment with an RE in 10 days to check things out. My cycles have been so crazy! Until then, we will BD every four days, just in case. I just ordered another batch of wondfo strips. We'll see.
GL to everyone!

Yogi - I have had OPKs that look just like that for FOUR DAYS now. I'm going nuts! Glad I'm not the only one, hopefully we both get a true positive tomorrow morning!
I've been testing 3x a day (I'm so scared to miss my window this month!) and still nothing. I normally get literally 2 full days of VERY dark positives so it's hard to believe I missed it (I normally get quite a bit of cramping on O day as well). Today is the 4th day on our every 4 days schedule but because I'm leaving town I hate to DTD today and then get a positive tomorrow or Monday (or even say Tuesday after I'm gone), so I'd rather put off our last attempt until as close to ovulation as possible. Very frustrating!
Also I'm on the fence on eating pizza (vegetarian within LE limits) or a vegetable broth soup tonight. My delusional crazy martha self is worried I will finally get a positive OPK and I will conceive a boy and it will all be because of the pizza tonight. My sensible self is worried I'm not ovulating because of the stress and weight loss. TTC while swaying is so annoying!!
Eat the pizza blue bonnet !! Xx

Ok so I tested again for the second time and this is the darkest I have seen it. Im gonna just say this is my positive and make my attempts. Screw it I am frustrated and tired of waiting and testing like a maniac. I told the dh. Ill see I can get some in tomorrow as we have an event tomorrow but tonight for sure.http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...127180306e.jpg
Yey came home after taking my girls the the theater and costume shopping to my +opk. What a sigh of relief. I thought this day would never come. I definitely needed this outing for a distraction. 😃 http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...ca9e1805a1.jpgQuote:

Thank-you Tarasue 😙 and i send you all of my pink dust. Truck loads coming your way 😃
Yay Yogi!! :ttc:
Fingers crossed yogi! That looks positive enough to me. Good luck!
It is so strange that everyone is experiencing delayed ovulation this month... I wonder why... So strange.
Good luck to everyone!

Good luck Yogi!!
I hope everyone else is having O soon!!:fingers:
I'm definitely in the frustrated camp too. It's now been three months since I stopped BF and I've still no cycle. I'm worried too that weight loss has stopped my body ovulating at all. Feel torn between just plodding on patiently and increasing my fat intake until I get my first period, then going back onto LE fully then. But I think the latter may make the body think blue thoughts!
Good luck yogi :)
Yogi - huge congrats!! GL on your attempts! :)
weezie - That's so frustrating! I especially feel for you because you've been down this road before. Maybe if your cycle doesn't return this month taking November off will help and then you can go right back to LE after a break and still sway pink.
I'm worried weight loss is affecting my cycle as well. I'm still not really that thin (19.9 BMI), so I'm hoping that's still plenty high enough to ovulate.
