I've started taking OPKs this cycle and am on day 15 and nothing so far. I haven't even seen any type of 2nd line show up. I had my d&c on 9/30 and have had 2 cycles since then. Is there something I can have my doctor do or test?

I'm going crazy here with no answers!!

well typically they have always been about 28 days. last cycle was 29, but before my loss they were always very much like clockwork.

Is there anything I can ask my doctors office to do?

What day this cycle did you start using the OPK's?


Yes, ask your doctor to do a progesterone blood draw on the 21st day of your cycle. That way you will know if you ovulated or not.

It is possible you O'd before you started using OPK's. You could O later this cycle or not at all . I would call your doctor and discuss it with them.
