Good luck mumof6. Hope we all get our march bundles
Ugh I'm on CD 19 and still no positive OPK. I did have one rogue cycle almost a year ago that was 35 days so maybe that's happening again but the norm for me is 28-30 occasionally going 31-32. My tests aren't getting any darker either the darkest I had was on CD 13 but then it went back to being really light the next day. I have been using the IC strips as well as the clearblue smiley face ovulation test. I'm wondering if I missed it. I haven't been tracking ovulation as closely the past few months but when I did I always had positive OPKs for 2 days so I assumed I couldn't miss it. Has anyone had experience with this type of thing?
Odd - thank you, I'm just paranoid because I've had no thermal shift (looks like I'm a slow riser) and I had copious amounts of ewcm yesterday. Can't do anything about it now of course! Glad you are progressing well and fingers crossed this is your pink sticky one :)
Jamie - sometimes diet, exercise, travelling, stress etc might delay O. Or have you started any supps recently?
I started taking folic acid and aspirin a few weeks ago but those usually don't cause a change for me (not to say it couldn't now). The diet I'm currently doing I've been following since March. No travel and my stress is about where it usually is (I have an anxiety disorder so my stress is usually pretty high related to that). Although I guess now I might be delaying O by being stressed about O. I've been diffusing lavender all throughout my house and trying to relax more so maybe that will help. I'm wondering if maybe I missed O like perhaps something's changed and I will have to be more carful to know when it is happening. I only say that because I know some people who say they can miss O if they don't test twice a day and I never had that issue before but I know cycles change with time.
Yes I would have missed O last month if I hadn't tested twice. Different matter this month though! Are you BD every 4 days? If so you would be covered if you had missed O?
No we have only BD twice (CD 9 and CD 16). I was trying to do the same thing I did to conceive my DD which was one attempt at O so we've been waiting on O to BD. We BD on CD 9 because I thought that would be too early to affect anything and then again on CD 16 because we had a babysitter and I thought if I didn't O that day it would be the next. If we did miss it it's no big deal, we just decided to start trying at the beginning of June (been debating for months when to). Although at this point I just want to know where I stand and when to expect AF
Ok so as you are on CD19 today, keep testing and BD tomorrow - then you have all bases covered :)
Thanks! After I wrote it I was thinking I almost have it covered with those two and I hadn't thought of that before. Let's just hope my littles will go to sleep so we can BD! I just got the "advanced" clear blue ovulation test in the mail that is suppose to detect better it says it "gives 2 more days" than the other test so maybe that will help get it figured out. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/07/02/y2ypureg.jpg
AF has come on full force. :(
Kinda bummed since I'll have to wait till August to TTC again. My next O is due right after we return from our Greece trip and I can't risk it after not being able to do diet, exercise, peppermint tea, and fiber for 3 weeks.
I'm sorry :( that really sucks! But I hope you have a good time in Greece!Quote:

Essnce, enjoy Greece. It's beautiful.
Relax and be positive. Your pink will come, I'm sure.
I'm using clearblue and overview as well, same time to check. Until now they both agreed.
Do you think clearblue might be wrong sometimes??
Mum, try to remain calm. In case you are not, you still have this month left so just relax. Dont stress your O and body.
I'm a little confused about this clearblue advanced because it says to test with FMU or you might get a "false positive" I thought it was usually the other way around...oh well just trying to relax and let it go. If you can't tell I'm a control freak who likes answers and I like them NOW haha.
Jamie - each brand is different, just follow whatever the instructions of that brand. I wished the cheap ones were FMU as I hate holding pee and trying not to drink!!
Essnce - sorry AF came, especially on holiday - hope you fully enjoy that Greek food and wine now! :)
...jami, have you tried usign 2 O tests same time so you can see accurance?
Yeah I generally do an internet cheapie and the clear blue together. This afternoon my IC looked darker so I used the clear blue and got "high fertility." The advanced has "high" and then "peak" so I think I am just Oing really late this cycle.
Then go for it :-)
