Well, another cycle and more confusion. I've been using OPKs all week and been getting lines but not the same color as the control line - today's seemed a tad darker than the previous few but not much. Anyhow, I started to get EWCM yesterday and have a ton today and am all crampy in my groin area and my bbs are aching. I would imagine that means I'm gearing up to O, but I took my temp this morning and it went from 97.3 to 97.8 - that's .5 degree temp jump. So now, I don't know if that means I O'd yesterday or if I'll experience another temp spike. I know I need a couple of more temps to confirm it, but I'm going out tonight in a limo bar hopping for a friend's bday and know I'll be drinking and in late, which means tomorrow's temp will be skewed.

Is it common to have O'd yesterday and have a lighter line on an OPK than the control line and to have aches and pains the day after?

The only thing I can think of is that you either Oed on CD8 or yesterday. Let's see what your temps do over the next couple days.

A +OPK doesnt mean that you Ovulate it is just showing that you will probably are going to Ovulate when you get a +opk should mean that you should be Oing in about 12-72 hrs after that...if you temps went up that ya you migth be Oing right now or have Oed yesterday if the dip was yesterday. only the temps from tomorrow and the next day will confirm if you Oed you need 3 high temps...good luck to you hope this helps a bit...

It doesn't look like you've O'd yet. Your post O temps should be higher than the previous six temps. If you're going to be out drinking tonight, your temp will probably be high tomorrow, but I suppose just wait and see on that one. I think your body is gearing up to O soon from the sound of your symptoms. You'll probably get a positive OPK soon, and that will show that your LH has increased and you should O around 24-72 hours later I believe.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you
