HELP! Did I miss O+12??

[our3sons]

I need your help! Based on OPK, I thought I would be at O+12 late this afternoon or tonight, but now all my signs seem to be pointing toward something else. So I am going to post all my details from the last couple days and so far what is going on today. I would appreciate opinions on when I was at O+12 if anyone has any idea. Thanks

O+12 is easy to miss but most people end up doing 6, 8, 12, 16, 20, or 24... All you can do is attack hubby on your first chance and wait and see what happens.

Thanks for the reply. So based on my info, when do YOU think I O'd? I think I will jump at the chance when he comes home for lunch today! problem is... I wasn't expecting to O until tomorrow, so we only have a 4.5 day abstinence at this point! He has been wearing tighties since sunday though (and he is a boxer man), he showered this morning and I told him to focus some heat on his goods, and I will have him do the same before we DTD. I just hope it's enough. But ultimately, God will decide.

possibly on the afternoon on the Weds but really it's hard to tell - I don't think there's a set amount of time it takes for the follicle to transform into a corpus luteum/start producting progesterone that causes the temp rise (i.e. perhaps for some it's faster than for others)

I would not even hazard a guess and this is why I don't like O+12. All these signs can go back and forth for days and I have seen hundreds of posts exactly like yours trying to figure it out.

What did you end up doing??? I hope you DTD!!! your pH with the EWCM looked really good to me. For ~me~ when my cervix is sore, it's all over, the egg is dead. I've DTD like 17 times at that point and never conceived.

If you don't get pg this month and if you want pointers for next month, I would have had you take an antihistamine to dry up the CM (even though I know it keeps you from pinpointing O+12, but as you can see, it's pretty tough to impossible to do that anyway without an ultrasound) and had your husband release once, dump it, then DTD again at the positive OPK. IT's not O+12 timing obviously, but it will help you get pg.
