BBT should be more reliable then OPK if you are doing it right ( that's why I'm not even trying....) I'd say by chart you've Oed on CD 16, but Lola is probably right: maybe this cycle your body got very close to O but didn't release the egg.
Don't be desperate, you know your next cycle is just around the corner:luck:
I would totally take you up on that! Isn't it funny how we form such good friendships online and never meet each other? :bigsmile: But I think it's pretty common with the older guys. Someone recently told me that I should start watching porn with him. I was like WHAT?? I don't think so, I have ballerinas to make me feel fat and unsexy already!!!! :thumbsdown:Quote:

Chunksta... I am not sure you O'd? I know you got the +OPK, but you do not have a clear coverline or a strong thermal shift. I am curious to see what your temps will do over the next few days. Did you have anything stressful happen around the +OPK? That could delay an ovulation possibly.
If I were just glancing at this chart I would say it's anovulatory - but that +OPK is interesting in there...
I remember from our old thread at IG that there was a poster (I want to say Medic? Not that it matters but Lola/Aqua does that sound right?) that went to her OB b/c she'd been TTC for a long time and was told that you CAN have a +OPK during an anovulatory cycle... so maybe that has something to do with it?Quote:

I had a tickly throat today- so conveniently took some Robitussin. We DTD yesterday and DH was an 8. He has gotten as high as a 8.5, but no 9. Oh well, we are happy with that!
No i didnt take another opk because i heard you really should only take them until one turns + ???? or should i keep testing til they become negative?? And as for cm it was egg white for a few days and i got O pains on cd15 and then cd16 my cm became watery and less of it then it just became sticky lotion like?:worry: i dont know i just, i feel over temping and trying sometimes and get upset that it hasnt happened:tissue::tissue::tissue::tissue::tissue::t issue:..... oh well will find out the end of next week if i am or not
I wont be on the comp for a few days am going away over easter, So wont get back on til tuesday
Hope everyone has a good Easter (if its easter in other countries besides Australia :rofl:)
I think it was Medic (any updates from her?)Quote:

I did think I Ovulated that cycle, but since its not a BFP cycle you'll never know.
Chakutsa, for your reference, I have made it the second chart in my homepage here:

Yeah, the OPK books tell that after you get a +ve OPK, just monitor other things to know when you actually ovulated. I could never read my CP properly. So I took 2 OPKs a day until it turned -ve to pinpoint ovulation. Some ladies are pretty good at going by cm and cp after a +ve OPK. The chart will also give you an idea why I took everyday OPKs, I used to get 2 days of +ve OPK and sometimes only 1. So I needed to see it go -ve to pinpoint the day atleast. Hope it helps
Taken out of context this is just a fabulous sentence :-)Quote:

If neg does mean O has occured that would definitely help pinpoint things! I can pretty much tell my O day from my CP though. CM throws me off since my EWCM comes prior to my O, but I can definitely tell a difference in my cervix on my O day.Quote:
