Frustrations!

[Heatherm4]

This TTC thing is frustrating at times and this is where I sometimes like to vent! A lot of times we try to focus on the positive..which is great! But sometimes to move on, we need to let those frustrations out!! So........GO ON---VENT!!!

I must say...its been a long, hard journey. I couldn't agree more w/ Tiffiepooh about the conspiracy w/ the OPK & fertility companies to suck us dry of $. I must admit though Ive been an avid buyer of OPKs only b/c of that ounce of hope every month that tells me it may be my month. I hate weighing the pros and cons of it but  it always seems to get the best of me. I'm TTW and my nerves are on edge. I always tell myself there is someone out there that has it worst than me but I always feel like that person. I hate waiting! Its so slow and long! But I know it will be worth it one day....and I will continue to wait.

heather,
i think if u dont wann waste on opks best thing to do is bd on alternate days. That way u dont even miss any day and sperm quality is also good as it takes 48hrs to generate.

Well Heather I know how you feel. I have spent money on OPKs the past few months and they never read the positive exactly like they are supposed to. They are always lighter than the line. So I have to go by the darkest line I get and say that is the positive. I almost always remember to temp. but its annoying when we go to someones house to visit. I really thought I was last cycle especially when AF was late according to my DPO. Then AF showed up just like she did with you this month spotting and then finally she was here. I hate this. Why cant there be a simple sure fire way to know when you ovulate? Its rediculous the money the women on here trying to have one miracle spend to try to get there every month.  In my opinin its an evil plot by the ovulation strip companys and the fertility industry to make us spend that much each month. IDK.

All right I feel better now too. Now onto the TWW day 4.

I'll start! I'm pretty peeved about AF...I just don't get it sometimes. This timing thing seems like it has to be pretty perfect for it to work. Well I don't have a perfect cycle EVER!! So how the frak am I supposed to figure this out?!?! I don't have the memory or patience for BBT, I don't want to waste money on any OPK's and I'm done testing early for sure this time!! Every time I think I have it figured out....I find out it didn't work so I must not have had it figured out. I dunno....the only time I truly knew what day I O'ed on was the cycle that I got my bfp. Then it was just taken away!! I have really good signs of Ovulation but am clueless as to which day it ever actually happens....I just take a good guess and hope I'm right!! AHHHHHH.....

KK...I feel better!
