Ok . well I did get those progesterone strips, got to love Amazon!! lol and the test was negative so it means that my progesterone is very low so obviously I haven't ovulated yet so I guess I'll just wait and see and really really really hope for the best!
I also really don't want to waste any more opk so I think I should probably just test if I see any noticeable ewcm, right?

Yes it came super fast. I guess the way they work is opposite from other tests. The lighter the test line the higher your progesterone is and you should have a baseline from before O to compare. I dont have a baseline but the line was not light so I think they measure it at 5 and under.
Also do u know if low.progesterone makes you tired? Like I have been so darn tired these days. Just more than I normally am with 4 kiddos

And when there is no line visible its above 10 but I read reviews where there was still a line and ladies were blood tested and it was 12, 24, etc.

Oh ok cool thanks for posting the pic and explanation, like I said those were new to me as of about a week or so ago so I am really hopeful they'll be of benefit to people - and you guys telling me your experiences with them will really help!
It's actually HIGH prog that may make you tired (supposedly) although I find that despite this, my sleep is often disrupted in the 2ww making me feel really tired.

ok I was just wondering. I feel like pregnant tired and I havent even ovulated yet. I wish I could do something to bring it on!
If I do O I will post another pic of the strip. They are pretty pricey, $39.99.for 7 strips so I wont be using them unless I think I ovulated

Oh heavens, I'm dismayed to learn that, I was hoping we had that miracle of miracles that could actually tell us decisively that we'd Oed. AT those prices I"m not sure it's worth it for most!

Yes the price was high but for a one-time purchase I'm ok with it. They tell you to take it at the beginning of your cycle like day 3 or four to use the color as baseline and then again about 5 or 6 days after you ovulate while also using Opks and CM they tell you to test again and you should see the color disappearing and getting lighter, so it may help women confirm that at least they're ovulating and to possibly determine if they need more treatment. So we'll see. I wont buy them often.

How long should I go without O of Af without calling OB?
Im so sad. This has been such an ordeal and time is not on my side. I just feel like throwing in the towel.
Also is there anything to an ammonia sort of smell to urine? Maybe I need to drink more water.
Atomic, this may sound crazy but I’ve been reading about moon phases… I have a ‘red moon cycle’ currently which I didn’t used to have. Meaning my period is coinciding with the full moon. From...
