Alright so now I'm stressing out..

CM is completely dry.. I was supposed to ovulate today.. But my OPKs all weekend were negative.. Now I'm worried I missed it.. I was testing opks starting on CD 11 though.. All negative.. Am I going crazy here?? ugh..

Help!

Nan I wouldn't stress, just keep BDing. I wouldn't think you have Oed yet. If you are basing your O prediction on past cycles that counts for very little, each cycle is different. One thing I will say is your attempts seem quite pink friendly, have you thought about trying SMEP? That's how our second boy was conceived. Basically dtd every second day after AF finished and once you get your +opk dtd every day for three days in a row. Worth looking into. There's a free Kindle ebook that explains it better than I did x

Personally I never O until at least CD17 ( well that was this cycle!) And usually it's CD20 or later - and I have two boys. Actually quite a few pink swayers on the TWW thread will probably tell you they conceived their sons with late O. I personally think it's blue friendly. Sending tonnes of blue dust hun and best of luck with your attempt this cycle.

That's great to know thank you! I'm much more calm now I'll keep charting everything. Yeah unfortunately me and DH rarely have time to DTD.. So I was trying to get us at the bare minimum on an every 3 day routine while trying to conceive. And then when O comes, bd every day and multiple times a day when possible. But yes I agree I need to DTD more often!! What is SMEP???

Ah that's good hun! I know what you mean, we are swaying girl and so every three or four days is our aim and even at that we were finding it difficult to make the time!
SMEP is the Sperm Meets Egg Plan. When we were ttc #2 I heard of it before we started so when AF finished on CD6 we DTD every other day. I didn't get my +opk until CD21 so we had an attempt on CD21, 22 and 23. It's similar to what you are doing except we were doing every second day throughout our cycle. DH said I better be pg at the end of it cause he was beat!

Yeah I'm going to have to try to do that since O is being stupid..

I'm also frustrated cuz the line was faint on CD 15 then a little darker CD 16, then I test again CD 16 at night and it was fainter again.. It went back and forth ugh.. Hoping it was just because it wasn't a morning test..

If you get a chance to catch up on the Nov testing thread hun I started testing with opks this cycle on CD6. Right from the start it was a fairly solid line, just a little lighter than the control line. Every day it was the same and then around CD12 or so it started to lighten off. Then CD16 AM I tested and it was a little darker, tested again that avo and it was really dark and again that night and it was +opk. Got my solid smiley digi opk the next morning but my surge started the night before. We only caught it cause I was testing 3 times per day - POAS addict here lol. One of the girls on the TWW thread said that you will get a better more accurate reading on your opk if you test closer to the afternoon so I started testing with SMU (second morning urine) and it was way easier to see a progression then. My SMU tests were always darker than FMU ones!
