Thank you, Burakoam and Atomic.
One of the big issues with us is that we don't stay up late. I'm in bed by 8:00PM and I wake up at 4:00AM, so I can't test so late and by the time 10/11AM comes along, my pee is diluted and as per the test instructions, I've waited until that time to test(10/11AM). I"ve tested twice per day and up to 4 times per day lol. You know, the reason I started this thread is because I had a MASSIVE hunch that my surge would happen during the night based on what happened last cycle where I got a positive late in the evening and a negative the following morning.
I feel very deflated because went against my intuition of making sure we BD on the AM and PM of CD 13 and 14. It looks like I did wind up getting my surge overnight and I skipped BD the morning of the positive test on CD14. It just wasn't dark enough to consider positive, but once it dried, I realized it is the darkest one of all my OPK's. By the time I realized this though, we had already skipped BD in the morning, so we ended up having an attempt at night just in case. I'm so glad we did! Here are my tests from CD12 (PM) to This morning, CD15 (AM). I took the test at 8:00AM on CD14 and again at 11AM, look at the difference. I should have been taking them earlier all along since I get up so early. Live and learn.

Ovulation is a funny thing isn't it? lol. Yesterday I was VERY irritable (not great when you have to BD!), fatigued and had very painful O pain, but no real EWCM. Today, my BBT spiked very high, I have some EWCM, no real positive OPK and very mild O pain. So who the heck knows. I didn't think getting 3 attempts in was going to be so stressful. It's mainly the OPK issue. Now I don't know if my attempts sway boy or girl, but I did my best, or should I say we.
Here's my chart so you ladies can have a look. It is what it is, there's no looking back now. I marked both CD13 and CD14 as +OPK based on the image above.

*Let me stress that even if your partner loves to BD, there's something about being on demand that makes them less cooperative, or all these things just HAPPEN to get in the way (especially if you have kids). It also made ME less cooperative. haha.
I must add some advice for those reading; LISTEN to Atomic when she tells you how to BD :D . Everything she warned about happened to us, so glad I followed through or I may be crying right now lol. BD every other day is much better than every day. At least I know I'm covered because We BD'd on CD11 and CD13 so the swimmers had plenty of time to capacitate. If I O'd yesterday or today, they will catch the egg (hopefully!). We'll get in one more attempt tonight and another tomorrow morning, then we take a break and EOD thereafter. We used preseed at every BD session, btw.
That's my OPK drama. Hope it helps somebody! :D
