I am 4dpo and my post O temps haven't been as high as they usually are (difference of about .3 of a degree). Yesterday I had cramps all day. This morning I noticed alot of watery CM so decided to do a OPK just for the fun of it (I know, should have just ignored the watery CM) and it came up positive (8am). But even darker than the positive I got a few days ago. So now I am wondering did I actually O at all the other day or is this O coming up now? I just did another OPK (11am) and it is negative and fading out. Kicking myself that I didn't do an OPK yesterday when I had the cramps. So do you think if we DTD again tonight I am in girl territory? We can't do it any earlier as the kids are home. I don't want to miss an attempt but I don't want to risk girl territory either!

Before I check your chart, I have been having the same thing RE OPK's!!!!!! I decided to DTD again so I would just to be sure!

I know! It's even weirder that you had the same thing. Do you think it might be too late to DTD again tonight though?

I did it just in case! xx Looking at your chart I would say you have already O'd though. Gosh our bodies are both playing tricks on us lol!

I know, it does look like it. So frustrating. This never happened on any of my tracking cycles.

I think your OPK can stay positive for a few days after ovulation. I know that mine do and it is confusing. I usually go by the ew cm and pains in my ovaries.
What did you do?
GOOD LUCK...I will give you my boy baby dust!
PS: how did you get your girls????
I have two boys...one dtd every other day and day of o (AM and o sometime that afternoon) and another boy dtd 2 days (1.5 cutoff, one time attempt). My diet is quite salty with red meat. I ate a lot but also worked out a lot. I also have PCOS.

On the instructions i got with my opk's it says disregard any +ve readings after the 1st one, the 1st one is right.

Yes, I think you did ovulate and I wouldn't bet against you being preggo. Not because of the pos OPK because that can just happen sometimes, but because of that big jump in temps.

I know I was late to answer this, but I would def. tell you to DTD again just to be on the safe side. BTW always feel free to PM me if there is an urgent question because otherwise I just answer things as I come across them.

Lemon, thanks for the blue dust. When I conceived my girls I was thin, always skipped breakfast and meals, and ate alot of sugary processed foods. That's really all I can think of.

Cinss, thanks for your input. I knew I shouldn't have done another OPK, just made things more complicated.

Atomic, I hope you are right! We didn't end up DTD again due to circumstances beyond our control. But, I am pretty sure I O'd when FF tells me I did anyway. Thankyou! I will PM if I need urgent advice in the future!

When will you test Bec? 7 dpo already, yea?

Yep, 7dpo today. It has actually gone pretty quickly. I was going to test at 10dpo but I'm not sure now. I am so afraid of getting a bfp and it turning out to be a chemical. I think I would rather not know if that was the case. My LP is 12 days so I don't have to wait that long if AF was to show.

So turns out I O'd when I first thought. Don't know what was going on with the positive OPKs after O. I stopped doing them anyway, didn't see much point. AF is here now, boo.
