Help with OPKs and chart!

Servilia · #1 February 25th, 2010, 09:48 PM

How ironic... last cycle I was here freaking out about too many days of positive OPKs (turns out the FRER were too sensitive and were giving me positives FIVE days in a row - I deleted that from my last chart and only left two) and now I'm here about not getting ANY positives. ....

I was hoping you would help me out..
Have you ever had a cycle when you Od but didn't get a positive OPK?

I am using CBE (not digi) this cycle which has always worked for me in the past.. in past cycles I always got a pos OPK by CD 15 at the latest. Here I am on CD 15 and no positive yet. They seemed to fade in and then fade out and today I could hardly see the test line. I am trying 3 times a day - 2 pm, 6pm and 9pm. Is it possible I could have missed the surge? In the past I always got two days of positives so it's hard to see how I could have missed it this cycle.
The funny thing is if that my temp tomorrow goes even a hundredth of a degree higher than today, I'll get dotted CHs for CD12. Now I don't know if that's correct because in the past I always got sore nips right after ovulation and this cycle, nothing.

I guess my questions are:
So do you think I might have missed it? And if I get CHs for CD12 do you think that would be correct, looking at my chart?

I'm sorry this was long and you're a trooper if you made it to the end!!

I don't think you've Oed yet. I would keep BDing and keep OPKing. Good luck!

Judy, has anything happened when you are temping to make you believe that your temps might not be accurate? B/c this IS confusing. It looks pretty clear that you O'd on day 12 based on temps but all other signs say no (OPK, CM, symptoms). Keep BD to be safe! Maybe todays temp will straighten things up?

Thanks ladies! Jess, the reason my temps were confusing is becuase I didn't have the spike that I usually 2-3 days before I O... if you look at my past charts, a couple days before O I have a spike, then have a dip, and THEN I O. This time I didn't have the spike at 14 DPO followed by a dip, so my temps looked like they were steadily rising..

But I think today's temp solved the problem because I had my dip... so now I know I definitely didn't O yet but might today or tomorrow.. I hope it's tomorrow because I didn't BD last night! Here is an overlay of my cycle to the last two cycles.. you can see I'm having my usual dip now. Ps in my january cycle I Od Cd17 and in December, on CD16.
