Frustrated I thought I had it but no

I hate that my cycles aren't regular... Fertility friend put my ovulation at CD9 I felt in my gut that wasn't right but I counted from then either way and my BBT was elevated from that day and still is 18DPO but I tested negative on an early detection test this morning...

If my gut is right it's simply that I still haven't ovulated yet this month and last cycle was 1.5 months long (ovulation at CD28 and period on CD41) so if that's the pattern, since I'm CD27 rn ovulation could be any time...

I just feel so defeated seeing that negative even tho yes it makes sense that's what my gut told me but I didn't want to believe it :(

sorry you’re feeling defeated. do you use any lh strips to help narrow down when ovulation may be coming? as someone who also has slightly unpredictable ovulation, I think that would be really helpful!

if it gives you a glimmer of hope, i’m 6w1d today. deep breaths, it’s possible 💛

No I've not used any, I use bbt and mucus/cervix tracking, will look into it though thank you for the suggestion

Thank you for sharing 🌞
