Ovulation Confusion

Can someone please help me? Is it common to get neg opk and actually ovulate??? I started testing on day 8. On day 13 there was a line butit was lighter than the control. Then on day 14 it was much lighter. I haven't seen even a faint line since. Today my temps JUMPED up. From all I have read that would mean that o happened. Right? So do you think all the opk did not pick up the o? Does anyone else have this problem? Would a monitor do a better job of predicting o? Do you think I oed based on my temps? http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/heatherb


Thanks so much!!!

I DONT USE OPKS FOR JUST THIS REASON . I NEVER GOT A DARKER LINE BUT ON THE CLEAR BLUE ONE I DID GET A SMILE FACE. HOWEVER I STILL DONT USE ANY OPKS. BUT FROM WHAT I HAVE HEARD IS THAT IF YOU TAKE IT SEVERAL TIMES A DAY YOU HAVE A BETTER CHANCE OF GETTING A DARKER LINE. THAT SOMETIMES THE HGG LEVEL RISES LATER IN THE DAY . AND AS FAR AS O . YOU SHOULD GET A TEMP DIP ON O DAY AND THE DAY AFTER YOU SHOULD GET A TEMP SPIKE . BUT IF I WERE YOU I WOULD KEEP BDING TILL YOU DRY UP THIS MONTH . IF TYOU DONT GET YOUR BFP THIS MONTH THEN START OPKS AT MABY 12: 00EVERY DAY STARTING AT CD10 UNLESS YOU KNOW YOU O MUCH EARLYER.I WOULD ALSO TEMP AND CHECK CM SEVERAL TIMES A DYA. CM IS NOTORIOUS FOR CHANGING THROUGH OUT THE DAY GIVING YOU SOME MOPRE INSIGHT AS TO WHEN O WILL TAKE PLACE, I HPE I COULD HELP

This is my second month using them. Last month I only got a faint line before I O'd but didn't consider it positive because it wasn't as dark as the control line. I was only testing once a day. This month I've been testing a few times a day and yesterday I got a few faints and also a dark line, but still not as dark as the control. My temp went up some today. I don't know if I O'd yesterday or what. I'm going to still do the OPKs today and see if I get any faint lines. If my temp continues to go up tomorrow, I'll definitely know I O'd yesterday and I didn't BD but did the night before. Ugh! These OPKs are driving me crazy.

I think you O'd on CD14, and it looks like you BDed accordingly too. Good luck :)!

Thanks so much! It is good to know others are having the same prob. That is a good idea testing more often during the day. I only tested once a day. Maybe that is how I missed it. Thank goodness we kept on bding! :) Maybe we caught it.


Good luck to you! SOunds like we are in the same boat today. I sure hope you caught the eggie too! :) Thanks!

I wanted to add that there is very little CM today! I would say it is creamy. But again very little. So I am thinking I have oed.
