Ok, SERIOUSLY?! What is going on?!

Grr... Last cycle I O'd on the 3rd day that I had a positive OPK(I use ICs)... so I was sure I was going to O yesterday on CD23 since I had a positive on CD 21,21, and 23. I also had what I thought was O pain on my right side yesterday. I can't be sure about my temp this morning since my lil boy was up several times during the night crying b/c he has an ear infection. I took my temp at the normal time this morning but it was only after about 1 1/2 hours of sleep.
But I'm pretty sure if I had O'd I would have seen some sort of a shift.

So anyway...I just got my 4th positive OPK today on CD24! Good grief

! So I have no idea when I am going to O...I'm hoping today. We BD'd CD 21,22, 23 but I know DH is plumb tuckered out and I'm not going to be able to talk him into tonight. Hopefully we've packed enough spermies in there. Next cycle I think we are going to just BD every other day when I have fertile CM, b/c obviously 4 positive OPKs aren't really very helpful in pinpointing when in the world I'm supposed to O!

Is having such a long LH surge something to worry about? Grrr...so frustrated. Thanks for letting me vent....

SOrry I dont use OPKs but I hope you see your temp shift soon, your timing sounds great even if DH is tired lol

Temp shot up today...not a lot..but I think maybe I O'd. We'll see if it goes up higher tomorrow. I always feel like if I don't have a really good temp spike, then it was a "bad" egg.

try not to think that way. SOme people, Nikki and me that I know of, have smaller rises that increase more gradually. Dont think its a bad egg I got preggo one of those cycles!

Ya know, the only reason I think that is that the cycle I got pregnant with my son I had a great big rise after ovulation. I tend to come up with my own "theories" that may or may not be accurate

I'm actually starting to notice a pattern that every other cycle, I have a big rise and on the other cycles it's more of a slow rise. Good to know that you had success with a smaller rise though!
