Question about OPKs and how to read them
I had a + OPK yestereday morning. Early this morning, it was - and much lighter. But I haven't had a change in EWCM. When would I have ovulated and how would I attempt O+12 if I get a + one morning and - 24 hours later? I'm not TTC this month

Are you temping too?

It's better to look back on life and say: "I can't believe I did that" than to look back and say "I wish I did that".

That's a good question....opks trip me up some months also. Do you still have ewcm? I will get + then - then + again sometimes, and I'm a pretty expert opk-taker, so I know I'm not messing them up! Maybe you are ovulating closer to the 48 hours after rather than the 8 hours, as you know the range is supposedly 8-48 hours after a +? I'm interested to see what the experts say here.....good luck, though, pinkie pink dust your way!

I'm not checking my temps because I still get up with the kids at night and wake at different times. And I meant to say my CM hasn't changed, not EWCM - oops! But I still have EWCM. I have had such a small amount of CM this month where I usually have a lot. I just hope to figure this out by May when we TTC our DD.

haha, you guys are asking questions about the two things I know I need to write about, OPKs and pH strips!
There is info about how to use OPKs in each of these essays but I will cover OPK's in depth.
http://genderdreaming.com/forum/show...How-to-do-O-12
http://genderdreaming.com/forum/show...thod-of-timing
All OPK's do is tell if you had an LH surge or not. You can have a surge and then for whatever reason, the egg doesn't make it out of the ovary. Your body will try again in a few hours or days and you'll get another positive then. If you're still having EWCM, you ~probably~ didn't ovulate yet but it can be hard to tell when you're swaying because your normal bodily functions are different.!!! Questions??

Thank you Atomic! I think I need to chart for 2 more months. But after only trying to figure out when I O, I just can't help but to think I'll mess up my sway.

With every fiber of my being, I believe timing is the absolute LEAST important part of swaying. If it even matters at all, it is only just a little bit difference. If you have a spare minute or two, you may want to read http://genderdreaming.com/forum/show...rm-and-Y-sperm (because the entire idea that timing mattered was based on a mistake.)
I would not stress one iota over it because stress can inadvertently sway blue. So you end up ruining your sway trying to achieve something that probably doesn't even matter.!!! Questions?? Check out the NEW and improved Complete Index !!!
