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

[LolaInLove]

Oh Lola huni you sure can make me laugh! Esp the part with skinny a$$ ballerinas
It's a relief I'm not alone...Yes, we too did have fun during early stage, and before actively TTC I haven't even noticed how very occasionally we were having sex...not that it was bothering me at all , but now it's a big deal.
It's so lame you guys are living across the ocean, I would love to invite you to a cup of coffee while our BOYS are playing
Common guys, I want to hear those +opk so that I have company for obsessing during 2WW

I would totally take you up on that! Isn't it funny how we form such good friendships online and never meet each other? 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!!!!

LOL Lola I think that would be the WORST way to get things going again, at least for your self image at this point! Teensy ballerina handling is enough stress right now ;-) Though I bet he's thrilled to see you pregnant ... I bet he's going to be one of those who just adores your baby belly.

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?

Morning girls,

Af has begun! So, the plan is to start taking clearblue digi (free for the research study I am in) at day 6. Glad I have something to pee on everyday.

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!

[Chunksta]

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? i dont know i just, i feel over temping and trying sometimes and get upset that it hasnt happened..... 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 )

I think it was Medic (any updates from her?)
And Yup! A +ve OPK does not mean that ovulation is guranteed. A thermal shift is a tru indicator. That being said. I did get smiley OPKs on one cycle and had a similar temp shift and FF did put my O on some Day. Check out this chart, it might give you an idea. 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 :-)

So does a neg OPK mean O has already occured? I thought I read on IG that it just meant the surge had passed, but you could actually still release the egg after a -OPK. 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.
