Hi...
Nice to hear from you.
I can understand the delay in your mother's operation is causing frustration, but its good that thyroid problem is detected early, and now she can be treated, may be it would have caused more probs if she was operated this weekend. Please don't stress yourself....your mother would be fine after her operation.
I think stress can also delay periods. Since you are also worried about your mom, and other things, may be, this has caused a delay in your periods. Just try to stay positive.
Initialy when I started ttc around an year ago, I used OPK. Also started charting bbt. My temps whould start with 97.2 - 97.5 and would rise to 97.8 - 98.0. For OPK, I got bold lines sometimes and sometimes I missed it. One friend of mine got pregnant, she had irregular cycles, when I told her I am doing OPK, BBT etc, she told me why do you get into all this, there is no need, you are stressing yourself...just relax and try. Since you are regular with cycles, just try from Day 10 to Day 18. When I detected + OPK, I would ask hubby we should try on these days, and he was hesitant coz he believes it is a natural phenomenon and he used to think I am putting pressure on him....He is stubborn. He doesnot like to take orders. Since I was also stressed out with bbt, OPK, hubby's non - cooperative attitude etc, I stopped using it. I decided to just enjoy the process but it never worked.
Then I started with CM. This is the method I tried - I put my index finger
in vagina, tried to move it around and pulled finger out. Then I press my
finger to my thumb and slowly pull fingers apart to look for CM quality. I was not comfortable with putting my fingers inside and looking for CM. I never had enough CM that would just wipe off...I did found CM sticking to my fingers...and that is how I again started ttc.
I thought may be I donot have enough CM that oozes out during fertile window, thats why I am not able to conceive, so I started drinking lots of water, grape fruit etc...last 2 cycles, I was very wet and I could just wipe it off.
I didnot get my periods today also, but no signs of being preggo...I will wait, may be because of my eye problem, I am also stressed out. or the heavy dose of antibiotics, I also got a shot, is causing the delay ?
I have also stopped doing yoga, exercise etc...coz of ttc.
I know how it feels when you hold a baby, when my hubby plays with my friend's kid....I can see the sparkle....hope we also get our share soon.
luv,
Pooja
