I was sure I'd get a +OPK today - cm is abundant even with all the antihistamines I'm taking and I had cramps yesterday, but I just checked and the line was lighter than it was yesterday (it was a different brand, though - I'm going to test again later with the original type I was using). I really want to get to the 2WW so I can start obsessing over pregnancy symptoms rather than whether or not I'm forgetting a vital part of my sway

yeah well you are probably best to stick to the same brand... they say to not drink too much before hand as it can give you a neg reading. your best to try and not drink anything two hrs before hand. You really should trust your body aswell you know best. I oed a day early i just went with all my symptoms and sure enough it did happen early. I can not get rid of all this cm it is a worry to me nothing is working. Oh well what do i do! I hope you get your pos opk very soon... I find once i get a pos i o within like 12 hrs so it is not the 36 to 24 hrs for me.

Now I'm really confused. I did 2 OPKs yesterday and they were showing a definite trend towards positive. The one this morning was almost identical - the test line was still not as dark as the control line. Then I had that one this afternoon, which was a different brand, that showed a lighter test line. I just tested again now with both the new brand and old brand, and on both there is no test line visible at all. Is that mean my surge happened this afternoon sometime? In the past I'm fairly sure my test line stayed dark for at least 24 hours or so - it didn't just disappear like that. What's going on? Oh, and I made sure not to have anything to drink for 3 hours before I tested. My cervix is still soft and very open, but it's hard to tell what's going on with my cm with all these antihistamines and the Rephresh I used today. I don't temp so I won't be able to use that to check if I Oed. I guess I'll wait to see if my cervix changes tomorrow, and stop taking my Vitex and SP if it does.

Here it is!!

I too found that I O'd around less than 24 hrs after the surge started(so around 15 hrs after surge was detected in urine).

OMG this sounds exactly like this cycle for me!!! I had a nearly + opk on CD 13 and then nothing on CD 14. I was so sure with my abundant cervical fluid, high soft cervix and nearly + opk that I had surged and missed it. I had only tested in the am the day before so I was certain that had I tested that eveing on CD13 I would have seen a +. Well, fast forward to CD 25 and I start to get a ton of cm again...plus my opk is getting darker again. I thought I was pregnant for sure but the HPT's were all negative. CD 26 the opk gets darker again and by the am on CD 27, it's blaring +++ and stays that way for 10 hrs! So I O'd really late. I'm also taking vitex but had stopped around CD13 thinking I was O'ing. I guess it was a fake surge. I'm also nursing so I'm sure it has something to do with it. Anyway, just wanted to tell you that it may not be O yet so keep up with the BDing and keep using the opk's!

I must admit that i have also had this problem before a few cycles back... That cycle actually went for 37 days!!!!! I got a darker line the day before i was meant to o and then nothing.... Then like a week later i o'ed i think it may of been due to stress tho.. Anyway yes keep an eye on it ( as you will anyway ) and yes keep bding!

[Mochagirl]

Oh goodness, I hope O doesn't come that late! I am soooooo done with BD-ing - I was really looking forward to a break from it all. This morning cervix is even higher and softer, so hopefully I'll get a + later today

[pinkin2011]

Yes fingers crossed you do!! I think i have stuffed my chances up this month to concieve.. I have been using aci jel pretty much every four hrs and i didnt realise that this will kill the sperm . what a silly thing i have done i may as well count this month out plus i had a 2.5 day cut off so i would of killed the sperm for sure! DAMN IT!!!

[Mochagirl]

Oh, I'm sorry, pinkin - that's so frustrating. This swaying stuff can get so confusing it's easy to make a mistake like that. U remember the first time I swayed, with ds3, I was douching with lime without checking the PH of it first, and of course was killing all the sperm. The second month I dropped the douching and of course got pregnant right away.
