the only sure tail way you will ever know when you for sure ovulated is by charting your temps. i was in your boat 2 years ago...assuming I was a late o'er and waiting and waiting for a + opk. turns out after a few cycles of charting....bam....i am an early o'er! I have o'd as early as day 10!!!! which means i should have BD while still on my period! eek. since then, i have gone to about CD12/13 which is still on the early side. I am not sure if you should fully trust OPK's as the cylce I conceived i got all negative opk's. I charted like a freak though...which is what successfully brought me a bun in the oven so to speak! good luck! PS: try fertilityfriend.com...it is the best!!!

Thanks for the info! I don't think I am a good candidate for tracking through BBT right now.

sounds like you must have a fun job with all that travel! your friend is right, charting only shows your O date after it occurs....however, after a few cycles you learn when your body is going to O so you can BD the days leading up to it! I was sooo not feeling charting the first 6 months we tried for our first...then the last 2 months i did it and i am so glad i did! I hope that when you have the time and schedule permits that you give it a try! hopefully you won't need to and the opk's will do the trick for ya! good luck!!!!


PS: I strongly encourage you to buy the book Take Charge of Your Fertility!!! It has a ton of things on charting with pictures of what your CM is suppose to look like at different stages ect ect! It helped me conceive, I swear!!!! Plus, it's good reading material on the plane he he! : ) (i baught mine at goodwill for $3 : ) )
