i feel defeated

edited March 2011 in Trying to Conceive
I was trying to stay off the board but I feel so dang hopeless I have to talk to someone. I was done with Femara on last Wednesday and I started testing with opks on Saturday cd10 but the first day of testing I didn't know I was supposed to limit fluids I knew to hold pee for 4hrs but I was guzzling juice and water like I usually do so now I'm doubting those Saturday negative tests. Since Saturday I've been testing every 4hrs hardly any fluids except what I need to take meds. The swimmers are taunting me. After my last pill, CD 7, I felt sore around about the ovary area so parts of me feel I may have ovulated already but then part of me says its way to early. I don't know what to do but keep testing I really don't want to send the swimmers back. I'm not really asking anything just need some hope. Today is cd13

    you need to check your other signs too. Don't just count on the opk's. Check your cervical placement, you cervical mucus, your temp. Your body signs are more reliable than the opk's

    I've been checking cm but I'm bone dry but I feel something working up if that makes any sense. I'm not temping but I'm gone to have to check my cervix. Thanks otherlovingmoms. Its crazy cause about 2yrs ago before I lost my period I knew my body like clockwork I used to be able to say I'm ovulating today. If this cycle doesn't work I'm dedicating myself to getting healthy

    I am saying a little prayer for you. Just try not to get too stressed if that is at all possible. I have read here that the stress can push back ovulation.

    I usually have 25-26 day cycles and am on cycle day 11.. no smiley for me yet either. I think it is just a bit early. I am temping, and havent googled it to see what that means... but with a 12 day luteal phase, we are still way in the game.. How many days in your cycle?

    Well I did google it a bit and dryness is a side effect. Hang in there....you still have time. I have been using the first response opks to watch my line get darker. Are you using smilies?

    I know what you mean about feeling "something working up." I think you should listen to that message from your body. My body is moving along a little slower than it usually does and I was starting to wonder if I missed my surge too. But I also get that feeling of something working up, and I've learned to listen to it. Hang in there!

    Also, I watch the second line on the smilies. It fades in like the lined tests. When I started getting nervous about missing go-time, I kept an eye on the lines. Still now smiley, but the second line is getting darker.

    Personally I think its still early...give your body a chance to relax and do what it needs to.
    I think your +OPK is still coming...
    Hang in there!
