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.

Nope, you are right. And I read that in IG too. -ve OPK does not mean that O has already occured. The LH surge goes down just before you ovulate. Taking it twice a day helped me to know if it was in the morning or night. I def could not get the hr..lol.

If you see the first chart which is the BFP one, we DTD in the PM, on CD 15. I did that after OPK went -ve. I did take a chance there on the fear on hitting O+12. But OPK was +ve in the morning, so I knew BD at night put me very close to O. CM was actually teh higest on +ve OPK Day 1 and not as much as that on +ve OPK Day 2. See it was tough for me to get it with cm and cp.

Aaaaah, that definitely helps me Aqua. Thanks for sharing.

I'm ticked. I just tested my CM (I use pHion strips, not digital so here's hoping they are wrong) and I'm still quite acidic. It's frustrating b/c the diet definitely changed my urine pH, which used to be super acidic, into optimal/alkaline depending on the day. So I KNOW there is an impact in my body based on the huge dietary changes. But it sure isn't showing up in my CM.

Booo. I should O on Friday so I'll test it then and see if I get an increase. When I do BSF it shoots to 9 no problem but I really feel like what matters more is your natural state. Super frustrated. *Sigh* I will try to make myself feel better knowing that some women (Atomic I know you were one with DS 4) can have a low pH and still get boys.

Chunksta' Keep temping only BBT will tell if you really did o'ed or not. According to my temps I did o'ed, but no CM or +OPK (Wired Cycle). BBT is more reliable. Good luck.

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!

Me too! and good luck to you.

Just flying through ladies, so will read all tomorrow, but +op fo rme today and dtd last night! so I'm happy with the timing, just the 2 long weeks ahead now lol.

[My Fabulous Children]

Good news ELP!.. I hope you get your BFP soon. Just wondering did you O on time?

[begonia]

Whoo hoo ELP! FX for the BFP!

Jen I'm guessing you're still waiting on your opk?!?

Spicy I can't remember, are you attempting this cycle? I think 8 is a great pH for your DH!

Hey ladies, I'll catch up later on all the chit chat. Yesterday was our 13 yr anniversary so dh and I unplugged from everyone but my mom (she had our kids) and spent an entire day together. It was so nice to have so much time all to ourselves. I was hoping for a +opk to go with it but no luck, we dtd anyway. Got a -opk this morning (not fmu) but I think I'll retest this evening as there's lots of slime today and cervix is feeling like I'll O very soon.

Fingers crossed for you ELP!!

Good luck ELP!

Happy anniversary 3PNB!
