Do you have other fertility signs? CM or arousal?
I am definitely in the opks cause stress camp. I stopped using them cause I would get a surge super early and it confused me. I assumed I wasn’t ovulating or too early for a mature egg. I started to only have sex when I desired it and not because of a timeline. I almost forgot what that felt like!
This last time I "thought" I would actually ovulate. Had some cm, although not ewcm and some o twinges but I haven't because my temp hasn't risen significantly. And yeah no more opks! They are becoming way more stressful for me and I'm just tired of the confusion and not knowing.Quote:

These long cycles are just dreadful
And also I am having such a hard time understanding, how will I ovulate if my LH is constantly always high? I just don't understand. I know that hormone raises before your body releases the egg so how can it be even close to releasing an egg if it's just always high?
Because what is happening on the strips is not telling you what is going on in your body. The strips are terribly imprecise and your body knows when the time is right to ovulate. So it will get a surge of LH and release the egg at that time.
Wow you and I have such similar symptoms. My surge seemed to go on forever the last few months I used opks. I thought the same thing. If it’s always high then how can I ovulate? Maybe it’s an age thing, I don’t know. It was actually those immediate (like day 6!) surges that went on and on that made me think ok I can’t possibly be ovulating. And I wasn’t getting my usual CM. Even this last month, I didn’t get ewcm. At the most it was watery and barely there. So I assumed my estrogen was dropping.
It's crazy because I have had a few cycles where I had a super early surge like you. Maybe it is an age thing. I also remember last cycle when I had a chemical I have no idea when I ovulated either because I don't recall having any or much cm at all.
But I'm so happy for you! Like I keep telling myself whatever I try to do, its totally out of my control because God is in control. But then I always feel the need to try and take control!! Lol
Well I was hopeful for like a minute yesterday with a nice temp rise and crushed this morning when it went way back down. Ok I'll go cry now, then pick myself back up to keep trying :(.

Sometimes we see those big rises and drops for a couple days prior to O, it's almost like the body is trying to save up the estrogen to ovulate. FXFXFX!!
Well I'm sure you can tell......IM SO OVER IT!
GAHHHHHHH!
I finally ran out of opks, I picked up a few dollar tree ones the other day and they were al pretty positive so I'm definitely not buying any more of these because it's useless! And so darn annoying..I have never had continual positives for so long.

Have you taken a pregnancy test?? I know it's a longshot (and your temps really don't indicate it) but that can sometimes cause long stretches of pos OPK.
