Yes, go again tonight! GL!!

And no you won't O twice in a cycle 4 days apart. What happens often though is that your LH surges.....but isn't quiiiiiiiite enough to get the egg to pop.....so then it gears back down, and tries again later. Sometimes it happens multiple times. Once I had a cycle with 3 false LH surges and no O at all, ended up being a stupidly long 42 day anovulatory cycle. Which can happen and is perfectly normal too. Our bodies are just weird and unpredictable that way, LOL.

That does help, thank you For giggles, I took another OPK and there was a line but not near as strong as the control line and my temps have stayed at the higher temp (current temp is actually higher than my norms) so I'll assume that I did O already....

[girliedreamz]

I would totally dtd again! There's no harm in doing it every 4 days. From everything I've read on the boards, your body still counts that as 1 try in the fertile window.

when in doubt, have another attempt. First one may have been a faker.

[txmomof3beautifulboys]

Positive opk in the a.m....technically negative at night and this morning(both had two lines but the second line was not as strong)...hoping I didn't miss my window, if indeed this was my true attempt?! Do you have a specific number of hours after the positive OPK to BD? Better not stress about it though LoL There's always next month!

[atomic sagebrush]

No, it is different for every person in every month.

Keep in mind, when things don't work out with a sway (which is ALWAYS) it may very well have been a higher power's way of giving you a helping hand. Sometimes we get pg when we don't mean to or miss a month accidentally. It's best to file these things under "meant to be" in your mental filing cabinet because sometimes we boy moms try so hard to outwit nature that we outwit ourselves right out of good opportunities when they come dressed up differently than the way we expected them to.

[txmomof3beautifulboys]

Does the positive OPK in the a.m. and the negative one at night and this morning still give me a shot this month if we BD'd last night?

[atomic sagebrush]

The rate at which OPK turn pos and neg. really tells us nothing, sorry, it's a question I cannot answer.

[txmomof3beautifulboys]

One last question...if my temp does not go back down lower as with a normal ovulation...are the crampy/ov pains just "aches and Pains" without the ovulation? Temp HAS to drop with ovulation?? My temps have actually been higher the last two days, so I was just curious Thanks!!

[atomic sagebrush]

No, temp does not have to drop with ovulation. It does for many people, many months, but htere is no LAW that makes that happen. That's why you're looking at the overall pattern and never any one day's temps, even if it looks like a temp dip.

If your temp stays up then my money is on that you Oed the first time. If it rises still higher, then I"d bet the second one was the actual deal. No way to know until a few days have passed
