well i've been testing with opks and they have all been coming up positive all the time. i have HCG left in my body (still positive pregnancy tests) so it is true that opks can and do detect HCG. so i'm not going to be able to use opks. just plain old temping and BDing every other day. this is totally frustrating...

HUGS... I'm so sorry it's so frustrating! I thought I had read before that you can't ovulate if you still have HCG in your system... could be wrong, but I swore that I read that..

That would make sense to me Jackie.

Sorry Lynda!

What Jackie says makes sense to me too... maybe in a few more days the HCG will leave your system and the LH will work it's way in! I hope it's soon! When in doubt, make sure to BD!!!

(((HUGS))) Can you get another blood test to see how much hcg is left?

I’m very sorry for your loss. I just went through a loss as well and my RE said that I could still try but it wouldn’t matter because I still had HCG in my system. My last beta came back low at 12 about two weeks ago. I O’d two weeks after that test so I would say definitely keep temping. You will definitely see a difference in your temps once the HCG is out of your system. Good luck!!
