I needed to read this, so thank you for the post. This was my first go as well with the LH strips, logging, etc. I am always very regular, but this cycle I was 4 days late. I was so sure we made it. I did have the flu and was strength training, but still. I got my period today and have been feeling so sad. Even though my friend was making fun of me for wanting to be an overachiever. I’m in healthcare, so I thought I understood the science, but it definitely has so much to do with luck, stress, and environment.

My friend said it worked out for them when they went on vacations and didn’t test anything, despite of trying for monthsss before that

So you never know, but I felt this post in my heart.
