My body is screwing with me
I am never late. Now I am 9 days late and 6 BFN's later I had my blood drawn today. I would be completely shocked if the blood came back positive. I can't deal with this crap every month.

Do you know when you O'ed and how long your LP is?

I just use apps to track my cycles. It says I should have O'ed on 4/28. I have no idea how long LP is. Maybe I should really start tracking stuff. I just thought it would be easy...have sex, get pregnant lol

Common misconception for many people unfortunately! Who knew that the whole time I was trying to prevent pregnancy when I was in my early 20's that it would be this difficult!
If you're still getting BFN's, I'm going to say that you O'ed later than the app said. I'd start using some sort of OPK or temping to really pinpoint your O date. Then you don't need to guess anymore. Before I was TTCing and I had 50+ day cycles, everything I read said that you O 14 days after your LMP. I thought I was pg all the time. Turns out not everyone O's on the same CD. I find that the apps just give you a roundabout date based on the length of your cycles but if you have a shorter or longer than average LP, that will change your O date.
I use Fertility Friend to track temps and CBEFM results. Since i have longer cycles, FF gives me like a 2 week window of possible fertile dates but I know that's just a guesstimate based on previous cycles. I don't even look at those dates anymore. I go by my temps (when I'm not lazy and actually temp) and always go by CBEFM. I have an 11 day LP so I know that I get AF 12 days after my first peak reading since O usually happens the day after.
I really wish I started tracking earlier in my life. It really would have saved me a lot of money on PG tests when I had super wonky cycles!

Thank you so much! I swear every month since I have started trying, my body does something crazy to make me believe I am pregnant. I think I'm going to not think about it for a couple months and enjoy the nice weather. My bloodwork just came back negative. But I will definitely take your advice. Thanks again!

Re: My body is screwing with me
i would def recommend using opks next cycle. One thing I've learned from TTC is no matter how much I *thought* I knew my body, everything went to sh*t when we started TTC. GL!

This is the truest statement ever! I had ridiculously LONG cycles. I mean I'd go months without getting AF. I start temping and using CBEFM and my cycles are now shorter (and by short, I mean under 40 days) and more consistent. Who knew!?

Is it just me or does it seem like it's that much harder for our generation than it was for our parents'??? My mom always said that she just wanted to get pregnant and bam, that month she'd miss her period!

Maybe. I also think that IF was a huge taboo back then so you never heard about it as much so maybe that's it?

I was reading an article, and now I wish I could find it again, that went into how because we are all aging differently, and women are actually going through puberty younger and getting their periods younger, that while aging wise, 40 is the new 30, with regards to fertility, 25 is the new 35... sucks.

Your body is most likely doing what it always did. We just never pay attention to it like when we are TTC.
Everything is normal and not normal all at the same time when TTC.
Temping is the only way to really know if you O besides bloodwork. I suggest temping for a few months and you will really start to know your cycle. The apps do not help other than tracking days you start and end your period. They base it on a "typical" cycle which few have.

girl, you hit the nail in the head.
OP try using the the OPK's and charting. Sorry this is happening to you, it truly does suck.
