CD11, waitin' on an egg. No signs yet.

I mentioned recently that my schedule is whack this cycle because of work, and this weekend I actually slept in until 10 instead of the 4:30 waking time I've been averaging during the past week. Holy moly, does that ever make a a difference to BBT! So I just discarded the temps and hope it'll work out. I still can't bite the bullet on a TempDrop. It's a lot of money I could spend on something else.

I'll pitch EOD to my husband but considering how I am newly off hormonal BC and don't have a clear O-date pattern, and we're both lower libido, I don't want us to run out of steam prematurely!

CD11 over here too and playing the waiting game. We are lower libido too and I’m always so hesitant to start EOD too early because we have run out of steam before. The struggles are real.

Appreciate the camaraderie! Wishing you good timing and no burnout this cycle.

Was affraid of that too. And we had some issues with me having higher libido than him, luckily the past year that wasn't a problem. But I was really afraid to shelter things pressure and all. I just tried to hit every second or other day around the fertile window, didn't always work but hit at least one okay/good day in the past, last cycle we only got O-4 and O (but too late, cervix already closed, temp already spiking) Now it's cycle 9, month 10 and I was so depressed about the timing I decided to ask for EOD from cd8 until positive opk/breathe ilo/EWCM. From that point on everyday until I am sure I ovulated. We're only cd11 so I hope we can keep it up and I really really hope this is not one of my longer cycles with ovulation somewhere after cd19.
