So frustrated

Ugh I just need to vent!
I've had a history of irregular cycles since 2020. I had 3 before conceiving my DD and then they returned to normal immediately after having her (and the cycle she was conceived was on track to be normal too) 4 months later I found myself pregnant again but that resulted in a loss at 8 weeks. Since then it's been haywire. I've tried tracking but wasn't committed 100% as trying to time ovulation tests when some cycles have been 50+ days long is just too disheartening. But the last 3 cycles were 28-30 days so this cycle I was on it - tracking my temperature consistently and starting opks on cd12. I'm now cd22 and no sign at all of a positive opk. My temps are very up and down, my chart looks like a heart monitor 😂 I'm just so frustrated that I thought my cycles were getting back on track and I was armed with opks at the ready and now I'm just back to square 1 🙄
So anyone else who's body is taking the micky out of them feel free to vent too

My only advice that I can share that I think could benefit you is to do the things you need to/want to do like opks and temping, but try to just do it and then keep busy and distract yourself with other things until the point where u no u r fertile. No go ogling or overthinking about it just move on if u can once u have done the physical test. It will come but its sometimes such a stressful wait if you are thinking about it and testing and temping more than once a day.
I dropped the temping all together as I don't see the use if I'm doing opks anyways. It can't tell me anything more from my experience until Yr pregnant and it stays high.. Even then tho it doesn't tell u any faster.
Try to get Yr mind on other hobbies or other focus'. I promise you the wait won't feel so bad. Best of luck getting your cycles back on track xxx
I'm aware this is all easier said than done so please don't hate me lol I too should take my own advice
How about you? What's your journey so far. Wishing you only the best dear and I've been looking for someone to chat to about this tough weight for ovulation every month so it's nice to meet you! X
I agree it can be really hard when everyone seems to know their cycle and it can come around twice for them before I even ovulate once over. That's brutal....
My sons birthday is 3rd April seems like they were close together
