Conflicting info: OPKs and FF

Supposedly, according to FF, this is my "fertile period". According to my average cycle length (anywhere from 29-35 days, so I said 31 days for an average) and start of period, it has me fertile tuesday, yesterday, today, and it predicts that I will ovulate tomorrow. I have had nothing but neg. OPKs all week.

HELP!

Sure, thanks:

I was saying on another thread that according to FF, I'm at CD 16 today, still no positive OPK. I had a sonogram on CD 13 where she saw a dominant follicle measuring 14mm. I know that's not quite big enough for ovulation, and she said I'd probably ovulate in a few days with that follicle. Yet, I'm concerned that I haven't had a positive OPK. I would think that by now I'd get a positive result.

WDYT?

Unfortunately OPK's only tell you when there is an LH surge - and you could even miss it if not testing twice a day, etc.

Thanks ladies...this makes me feel better. I was fairly sure that I hadn't missed my ovulation. This is my first month charting so I don't even have anything to compare the data to. Sunday sounds about right, a day off from what FF is predicting, but that would put my at CD18, which seems so late! I know every woman is different and every cycle is different, but I'm reading about all these women who ovulate around CD10-14, and I seem...."off". I just also figured that by now, I'd have at least a positive OPK. But, I'll keep testing, and not panic yet.

Thanks!
