Am I insane? I put an opk next to it so I could even see where the line was supposed to be.

I see something! let's see if it gets darker tomorrow.

Ladies, one more quick question - cervix is still high and I'm having cramps. Is there hope that I haven't O'd yet? I'm planning to BD as SOON as DH gets home....

Maybe, maybe not. You should still BD until you are certain you have O'd.

I'm 4 days late now but have taken a test everyday and they are negative

did you confirm O? if so, when was that?

So I played around with my chart and added 3 more temps, took out the CD15 +OPK and left the +OPK's for CD's 18,19 and 20. My O day was moved to CD19. If I remove all OPK tests, my O day is left at CD16.

I still think it was CD17 or 18 and quite possibly both days.

I think I may be ovulating before LH gets to my urine. This could only be confirmed with scans and bloodwork. It looks like my OPK's are gonna start to get negative now. This morning it was the darkest ever, but I went all night without going to the toilet (because I cut out almost all fluid for the sake of testing!lol). My mid morning stick was lighter and my noon stick is even lighter.

This was a very strong O for sure. Lot's of LH to get rid of lol.

Oh no Cosmo, I didn't know that was possible!! I wonder if that happened to me and I actually O'd on CD20 before my temp rise? I took another cheapie about an hour ago and it was just as dark as last nights, so def my darkest yet.

You should only go based on your first positive OPK if you are using them. LH leaves everyone's system at different rates and it also matters how much LH was released. If you have a big surg, your body will take a couple of days to get rid of it.

Women who are constantly monitored via scans and blood work have reported confirmed ovulation before their OPK showed positive, but not by days (for example, doctor confirmed O via scan in the morning, the woman gets a positive OPK that evening). It varies for all women.

Otherwise, it is a guessing game and this is why Atomic suggests keeping a pattern, to cover bases. For pink swayers she suggests every 4 days and an optional attempt at +OPK.

In addition, I have read information that suggests Ovulation takes place during the thermal shift, not the dip as it is widely believed. I think of it like a bow and arrow. You have to pull back first, which is where you see temp dips (estrogen), aim and release (LH and Progesterone), which is where you see the thermal shift. This makes the most logical sense to me.

TCOYF says that your last day of EWCM is your peak, so that's also something else to keep an eye out for.

All of these tools like BBT charting, OPK's and FAM should be used together. The more tools you use, the more of a clear picture you will get AFTER ovulation happens. In other words, they are best used to confirm ovulation, not predict it. LH surg can happen many times if your body is gearing up but doesn't O, or it can happen just once.

well, you'd need to know when you ovulated and also the usual length of your LP in order to assume you are late. It may be too early for both AF and BFP
