Another quick question- do we have any knowledge around whether ovulation pain actually happens during ovulation? Or it can be before/after?

We know for a fact that you can have O pain before (many eggs develop and only the best 1-2 are ovulated), during (the actual sensation of the egg being released), and after ovulation (the ovaries are still swollen, the tubes cramp to move the egg down, and the fluid that comes from the follicle causes irritation as it encounters other organs). O pain is not at all helpful to pinning down O.

TTC pink after 2 boys
Just when I thought my cycle became spot on 28 says with peak OPK on day 15 (last 3 cycles) it all changed again! It’s now CD16 and I’ve been having high reading (flashy smile) since CD13 so 4 days in a row! Should I wait? Should I start e4d? So confused!

It's your call to make. Having many days of high before going to peak is very normal, happens all the time to people (as does going straight to peak with zero highs!). So you can keep testing and the odds are you'll have a peak, or you can go to e4d now, or you can have an attempt now and then keep testing, and if you get a peak within the next 2 days, stick with the attempt you've had. If 4 or more days from now, have another attempt, and if it's that no mans land of 3 days, either flip a coin or use the rule of thumb "for best odds of pregnancy, have attempt, for best odds of pink, stick with the attept I had".

So I ended up having a peak reading the night of CD16 (like 10pm) and we had an attempt. I must say though the test line on OPK was not as dark as the control line. This morning CD17 my BBT spiked to 37.0C from 36.4C (I slept in by 1.5 hours though)! But my OPKs look even darker today. Do you think I ovulated at some point yesterday/last night or not necessarily? I will probably have another attempt on CD19 just in case.

Yes please have another attempt CD 19 because sometimes the false positives can be very tricky.
The Clearblue OPK digi tests use other metrics aside from just LH hormone so sometimes you can get Peak reading without the lines working the same as on standard tests. I think you had a well timed attempt and ~usually~ once the temp rises it's a done deal.

My husband got sick so couldn’t do another attempt my ovulation is getting delayed by the cycle (in March I got positive OPK on day 14, April CD15 and May CD16), what can possibly delay ovulation? I don’t think I do more cardio than before, just one hour walks 5-6 days a week. What else can it be? Not enough protein? This is my third cycle post miscarriage, I truly expected to be pregnant by now as supposedly women are more fertile after miscarriage. Getting tempted to add attempts.

I want you to go to e4d in the 72 hour pattern.
Over the course of time, diet and exercise can kind of accrue. So we may need to cut back one day of exercise and add in more calories and fat. People always assume protein, but it's nearly always cals and fat.
I want you to add in a serving of full fat dairy a day and 4-6 eggs a week right away.
Can you fill me in on the following:
What's your BMI?
How much are you eating with calories and fat?

That’s what I thought, I suspect I miss my O entirely. My temps went back down on CD18 and then up again since CD19 so I suspect I ovulated on CD18 instead and my attempt on CD16 may not have high odds, will find out next week.
My BMI is 19.5, I put on 3 kilos since my miscarriage 3 months ago!!!
I don’t count calories (I can try) but I do one full fat yogurt each day and 4-6 eggs already, I just cut down on red meat.
I do a coffee with almond milk and a vegemite toast or two every morning, plus plenty of hommus, chicken, salads, soups, fruit, etc, trying not to eat sugary things as already put on a lot of weight!

Oh my that's right I remember now - your weight dipped very low. I suspect it's just weirdness from the weight loss and then the miscarriage. As long as you're not losing you can continue doing that, I would just be sure you're getting a good level of fat (possibly even adding another full fat dairy 3x a week)
