OPK...????

I posted this down in the "Waiting for O" section, but thought I'd put it here too in hopes of getting some answers!


Okay...I'm trying OPKs again. I had several days of a very faint line...then a darker line yesterday, but not as dark as the control. Then today, the line is almost GONE! I'm 16dpo...have been having some twinges on my side yesterday and today...but temp still is down. Here is my chart: http://circles2.fertilityfriend.com/home/240a9

I thought the OPKs went from faint to positive over a few days. Do you think I just missed the surge when it happened...and maybe I'm ovulating today? Also...the Wet CM is not as wet this afternoon...but I'm on Clomid which tends to dry you out. I'm not too confident in my CM checks anyway...

And...if I ovulate today, and BD this afternoon...will it be too late? I'm SO wanting to finally catch the eggie this cycle!

Hi Anne! First of all, WOW you have a long luteal phase!!! Mine is 10 or 11 days usually so 17 days seems amazing to me. Anyway, I have found that my surge can be very difficult to catch at times. Last month, I had a -OPK at 2:00 pm and a +OPK at 6:00 pm of the same day. So, I think some people just have a very short window in which to catch the surge. I always have to wait until at least 2:30 or later to even try. It seems some people get +OPK's for a couple of days, but I am not one of them. You may be like me and just only get a + within a time frame of a few hours. I have found that I really pretty much know when to try with an OPK now bc of past experience, but it can be frustrating. I think you prob missed the surge, but then again who really knows! I'd still be bd like crazy! GL hun, my SIL is on Clomid, too. I wish you the best!!

When I used OPK's, as the line was getting darker, I would start to do them in the am and in the pm. I almost always got the surge in the afternoon.

Good luck,

Maria

Hi Leanne!

It is great to hear from you...I know you've been mainly lurking lately. GL this cycle...I've got my fingers crossed for you!

As for my LP...don't be too impressed...my O date is not a definite on any of the previous cycles...depending on where I put the setting...it changes and my LP is anywhere from 9 to 17 days. So who really knows...we think my body is having trouble O'ing...not getting a good strong O...So I'm trying Clomid.

I wish I had not just peed! Now I want to go do the test again!

Thanks for the input!
