Good Morning ladies!

I'm currently on cd20. I've been using opks since cd9 and twice a day since cd15. I'm using the clear blue digitals and have yet to see +opk.

I'm just feeling so out of sorts. On one hand I feel like I haven't ovulated yet and am so disappointed. I was doing some reading and while it's still possible to get a +opk after cd20 on clomid there were some reports that the egg(s) may be too mature and either harder to implant or no longer viable :(
I'm still having some ovary discomfort, not pain so much, I can just feel them active/stimulated. I haven't had really bad or sever o pain which also makes me think I haven't ovulated.

Then I think.....but what if I have ovualated and the clomid just messed with the opk and never showed +? Has anyone not gotten a +opk but gone on to get a bfp?

I know clomid is not a magic pill to get my twin girls or even to get pregant, I was just really hoping this would be "it". I'm not usually an emotional eater but all I want to do is snack and veg out. Yeesh. Sorry for the vent and pity party.

The eggs are fine, they are still viable, some people like to speculate but I have seen people who ovulated quite late on Clomid (and you are still in normal range here!) and gotten BFP. I'm talking like 40-60 days

Yes, you can absolutely have no positive OPK and still get a BFP if you are having unprotected sex.

My advice, since Clearblues are insanely expensive, is to stop testing and start having unproteted sex every 4 days from here on in.

Thanks Atomic! You always know the right thing to say to make me feel better :) You are soo wonderful and I would not be here without your advice and wisdom. I appreciate and thank you so much.

We have been dtd every 4 days so I am cautiously optimistic that we are still in this months running. I honestly cannot believe how much the clomid has affected my cycle but at least I know and can be prepared (of need be) for future months
