I am trying to figure all this out and may end up rambling.... sorry in advance





I show a major surge but I know tomorrow I will get CH's for CD15. Help!

I really don't know what to belive anymore. Do I belive the OPK's... my temps... or my CP/CM?

We are not young and honestly all this BDing is a lot of work. Dave is 42 and not able to BD like mad anymore. It puts a little bit of a strain on our relationship. We both want this so bad, so it's frustrating. It seems like we start the month off great and then when we get to this point things fall apart. Maybe we should start BDing around CD12-13? Or even 14?

Any advice would be great. I am inclined to think I O after my temps go up. When I get the last + OPK. It would explain why it is taking us so long to get PG. We were stopping BDing when my temps said I Oed. I think we missed the mark a lot.

I also had a D&C ON CD16 of my 9-25-07 chart. They did some kind of test on the tissue and it showed I was ovulating at that point. That is after my temps went up. Maybe I am just weird and O when my temps shift?

Personally, I'd say CD17s OPK is + and hence you don't have cross hairs yet... I think from inputting tmor or Sunday's temp you should get XHairs.

I think getting a + OPK means you will O within the next approx 24-48 hours ish.


ETA: I also think you are BDing too much! They say you should do it every 2 days, to give the swimmers time to regenerate! No wonder you're tired!

I think I would look at your chart tomorrow and see what happens. You don't have cm marked for yesterday and today. Are you still having any cm? When you wipe do you feel slippery still. I think I would look at your chart and see what makes sense. It does look like your positive was on cycle day 17 so I am curious to see what your temps do tomorrow.

I don't think you are bding too much. I think that is a myth. I have heard that too but I have read a lot of info stating otherwise. Here are a few links on that.
