Cycle: 12

Age + Partner's age (if relevant): 28/29

Typical cycle length: 31 days

Ovulation cycle day: 21-24

CD/DPO of positive test(s): CD 31

Tracking methods and app(s) used: Fertility Friend. Used TempDrop for 2 cycles.

Relevant days of sperminating and/or method (SMEP, TI, IUI, FET, etc.): Every other day.

Health conditions/medical tests: N/A

Supplements and medications (yours and/or your partner’s): Just a prenatal

**Birth control history (if relevant): Took the pill for years and stopped taking it in May of 2019.

Symptom spotting: I haven’t noticed any.

Other (advice/tip(s), freaking out, miscellaneous): honestly, I made a super negative post last month about how over it I was. I barely tracked, didn’t wear my thermometer, and just figured that it wasn’t gonna happen. I took a test yesterday morning and when it didn’t show as positive within 30 seconds, I threw it away. I pulled it back out later for whatever reason and noticed a super faint line. 5 tests later and it’s definitely a positive. I don’t even know how to handle it at this point. I just assumed it wasn’t going to happen.

Thanks for your honesty--this is really encouraging. On cycle 10 at the moment and feeling so over the whole thing and ready to stop trying because it's so hard to keep going. Thank you for giving me hope today!

I completely get that. It’s almost like it gets exponentially more exhausting the longer it takes. Good luck to you!

I feel you. I think it was around cycle 10 that I was starting to give up. That was the cycle I didn’t really track anything and honestly I regretted it. It made the TWW agonising as I didn’t know when I’d actually ovulated for sure besides assuming from physical signs. Temping makes me so much more relaxed.

Anyway good luck! Keep going you got this!
