Chart Help Please....

Okay, can someone tell me if this is possible??? My OPK's have been really weird. I am using the internet cheapies this month for the first time and is the test line supposed to be as dark as the control line??? So far, I don't think I have gotten a positive yet, but I will post the pics so you can help me...FF says I ovulated on CD 14, but according to having no cramping until today, negative OPK's, and spotty bleeding over the last 2 days, could I have ovulated already??? I am so confused...I got off of bcp almost 2 months ago so I attributed the spotting to that (I say spotting because I get a quarter size of blood when I wipe ... ?). And, I know it couldn't be implantation bleeding because the last time we BD'd was Saturday and then DH has been out of town??? Please help me....I am so lost...I don't think I ovulated yet but FF thinks I did?
Here are the OPK pics for CD 13-17. Also, notice how Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday's OPK's look the same??? And, if you can look at my chart, I would appreciate it too. Thanks girls, I am just lost right now...

I've never used the internet cheapie opks but I'm sure the work just like any other opks. They should be as dark or even darker than the control line in order for you to consider it pos, so looking at those opks, they all look neg. The only one that slightly looks like it could be a pos would be the one taken friday morning. I'm not a chart expert but based on the opks alone, it looks like your body was gearing to O but didn't. Now based on the temps, I can understand why FF has marked CD 14 as your O date but because you didn't have fertile cm on that day, thats why its giving you dotted crosshairs. You still have fertile cm so I would say BD to cover your bases and keep using the opks. I don't think you have O yet, but as I like to say, when in doubt BD! I hope this helps a little.

I don't think you've O'd yet. The OPK's should be as dark or darker than the control line. Since you're still having fertile CM, keep on BDing just to be safe!

Thanks Ladies!!! I got another negative OPK this morning, so I don't think I have ovulated yet. Also my temp dropped this morning??? FF now doesn't think I ovulated either since I am still having fertile CM and since my temp dropped...Who Knows??? I think my body is just trying to adjust since getting off of bcp. I just hope I O soon! I am getting impatient!!!

I don't think you've O'd yet either. I noticed you said you were testing in the morning. I am wondering if that could be the problem. I know that you shouldn't use first morning urine to test with. From what I have read it is best to test mid-morning or mid-afternoon. I usually test about 2pm. Also some people have to test twice a day to catch their surge. I'd go ahead and start bding just the same.

Ya, I heard the same thing about fmu, so I usually test with my 2nd or 3rd pee of the day

!!! And, for the past week I have been testing 2x's a day, but still haven't seen an OPK that looks positive, so I think that is good news! I will keep you guys updated!

To me, none of the tests look +.

And by your chart, it looks like no O yet.

You OPK's all look negative to me too. I had this same problem. I kept getting negative results on OPK's and I started to worry that I wasn't going to ovulate. The good news is that I did finally got a + OPK, it just came several days later than I expected. I say keep going with the OPK's until you see the + and keep BDing.

Good luck!
