    Chart ladies - ?

    Sooooo I never got a truly positive OPK but bd anyway. However, it looks like I may have been too late. This is my first month charting so I was surprised I ovulated bc I was getting negative OPKs. Any chance of conceiving the night of ovulation?

    I don't think you've Oed at all yet. No temp shift. Unfortunately FF often prematurely assigns O or assigns O despite it not having occurred. I would keep BDing every 4 days so attempt again tomorrow.

    BD just the night or even day of O is not great odds, 3 or even 4 days in advance has much better odds, and 1-2 days before is optimal. But I really don't think you've Oed. CD17 would be way more likely than CD16 anyway.

    Thank you!! I am so new to temping, so I'm just going off FF. Based on other cycles I tend to ovulate later (more towards CD 20) but I know you never know. Thanks for your help!

    Yeah I want a couple more days of temps before I say on this one.

    Keep having regular unprotected sex every 4 days or so

    FF changed the ovulation day to 17 yesterday! I've been BD every 4 days or so and still doing OPKs. The darkest days were on CD 16 and 17 and then faded. But according the the directions weren't positive as they weren't as dark as the control? So the temp shift doesn't have to be .5 of a degree?

    While CD17 is certainly possible, CD19 looks MUCH more likely to me (or very possibly you Oed late on CD18 which would give you optimal O-2 BD timing). If you want, you can switch O detection to FAM mode and that should move your cross hairs to CD19. Regardless it does look like you almost definitely Oed, so yay! I am 1dpo so one day behind you if you Oed on CD19. Fx!

    Oh, and I don't get true positive OPKs either, but I do get 1-2 days of OPKs that are clearly much darker, and I mark those as positive on my chart.
