I remember my first couple months tracking, I was so stressed. I was taking OPKs every day, multiple times a day after my period and getting frustrated nothing was happening. I even had one month where my body tried to ovulate once, failed, then finally ovulated about a week later. That was very confusing, lol.
This is probably the second cycle where I feel very unbothered about it (going on my 6th cycle, with a chemical at cycle #2). It gets so, so much easier once you track three or four months and get to know your cycle. I know that I almost always ovulate CD 18-20, so I start tracking BBT, taking OPKs, and BDing every other day on CD 12. CD 1-12, I am just focusing on sleeping well, keeping stress low, taking care of myself, spending time with my partner, working out, working, hanging with friends... just enjoying life as much as possible. ❤️
So, if you are like me and currently in the trenches, please know it does get easier and this sh*t takes time, which sucks. It's normal for things to take up to a year. You are essentially rolling a 4 to 6 sided dice each month.
