I think that's interesting it meant a BFP for you and although I have some signs, I did last month too and got BFN so at this point I'm just assuming anovulatory cycle = obvious BFN

You will still show 2 lines pretty much at any point in your cycle because you always have some amount of luteinizing hormone going on. I've had an almost positive right before my period.

I got a faint line yesterday on a Superdrug test, but when the test dried I couldn't see it anymore. I used a first response this morning and a line came up straight away.

I hope everyone still waiting get's their BFP's soon, good luck everyone! Meeks your chart looks brilliant this month.

Aaaaah well done! Congrats! Finally some hope/motivation this month!

I had a very, very faint line on an Internet cheapie today. Going to get more frer after buying the wrong kind by mistake. There wasn't much colour in my line so I'm skeptical. That's what happened when I had my chemicals too.

Also I had to adjust my temp with a calculator because ds1 woke a lot and I had to use my temp at 5am because that's the only one where I had 3hrs sleep prior. So not sure if my temp actually is 'Up' or not.

I'm so happy for you! How long swaying hon?

So I have a lot of extra opk's so after reading your post I decided to check, and sure enough I still have a medium line on the OPK. I don't want to give you false hope. I'm just trying to help you figure this out. Sorry it's been rough.

I've heard of this before too.

Do you have a pg test you can do to confirm you aren't? A lot of times anovulatory cycle can actually be late o.

Otherwise yes I did have days of almost positive for a few cycles, before my positive opk. My actual surge doesn't last long usually so I have to test 3 x a day and once with fmu despite that not being recommended. I usually get a + with fmu on opk's. I buy Internet cheapies though.

I'm only on CD23.. so I guess max 7 or 8 days past O if it happened. I will test if I end up missing my period, but if I didn't ovulate then I'm going to assume my period will be late? I've never had a late period before so we'll see. I will be shocked if this was actually an anovulatory cycle. The amount of cramping I've had for over a week now is insane. At first for the first few days it was ovary pain and now it's menstrual so I have no clue whats going on. I just want this cycle to come so I can move on!!!!

I kind of wondered that as I've heard that you always have some LH in your body.

I only get 2 positive OPKs a month? Is that not normal? I do ovulate late and have short luteal phases. When I was preggers with my last 2 children I got positive results everyday of my luteal phase!

Congratulations Pangea!!

No those things are both normal. OPK are persnickety things with tons of variation between people.

congrats pangea!!!
