Can't tell when I O'd

So I really feel like a complete moron when it comes to this TTC stuff. I noted my "fertile period" from babycenter.com, but I seriously have no clue when or if I o'd. I'm in the 2ww right now, but feel clueless.

Just felt like venting. I know there's more technical ways of figuring out this stuff (i.e. charting), but it's all a little too scientific for me - I was terrible at biology in high school. Anyway, I guess I'll just have to see if AF decides to pay me a visit next week (she probably will - I don't feel any different)!

Re: Can't tell when I O'd

I def recommend picking up the book "Taking charge of your fertility"

Even if you don't want to chart, this book is awesome in explaining to you the why, how and what of your body and cycles. If def helps alot!

Re: Can't tell when I O'd

Thanks! I will definitely look into it. It's so funny that such a conceptually simple thing can be so complicated when actually TTC!

Re: Can't tell when I O'd

I know what you mean. I am clueless too! I really do not want to take temperatures and everything else. So I am just hoping it'll happen when the time is right and does not come to really having to "try".

Re: Can't tell when I O'd

I'm right there with you. I swore to myself I would not get crazy & just go with the flow. This is the first month I have tested & both times, BFN. I am now thinking I didn't O when I thought...

DH & I want to continue to just do the "fertile" days & not temp...I guess when it is meant to be, it will happen...In the meantime, we can all be fustrated together

Re: Can't tell when I O'd

Im so glad Im not the only one who feels this way I just dont have the discipline to temp.and chart. I wanted it to be more natural to not so organized(not that I knock anyone who does go this route). I did the babycenter thing and everyother ovulation calculator on the internet but I always seem to miss it we have tried now this being the third month. Hopefully this month is the charm. for all of us

Re: Can't tell when I O'd

Don't forget to have sex whne your cervical fluid is stretchy like egg white-this usually happens to me about 2 days before I O. But that has always been a great sign.
