How can I detect ovulation

Chatterbox · #1 February 10th, 2007, 02:41 PM

I am officially charting this month. My temp was stable then went up and then went WAYYY down today. I do not have a pos OPK. Could it be dropping for ovulation? Thanks for your help.

Usually the day you O your get a temp drop but NOT everyone gets it. How dark was your opk hun? As for me sometimes my temp will drop then it will go up a couple tenths and that is the day I oed not the day it actually dropped.

No color to it at all!! My dr told me to start the OPKs on cycle day 11, which was yesterday and go to cycle day 18. I might O later, if at all since my cycles are getting longer. I just don't know. I hate not knowing...lol. Thanks for the information though.

I wouldnt worry too much with the opks, best thing to do is BD every other day if you can.

I am right there with you. OPKs of mine are very light except when I use them in the AM around 11. Then they just keep getting lighter.

Good luck to you.

A dip like that could signal ovulation, but we won't know for sure for the next 2 days....to see what your temp does. As for no pos OPK, maybe you missed the surge??? Very possible. When i started to see a faint line, i began testing several times a day everyday. What about other Ovulation signs??......CM, and CP??? These are very reliable methods as well. Good Luck!

Nope - none of the normal signs. I am pretty sure I didn't ovulate last month either due to lack of CM. Just a wait and see game I guess. Thanks for y'alls help!
