What do you mean by two tests?

I started using OPKs on CD 10 since I wasn't sure of when I ovulate (irregular cycles), and I ended up not getting a positive until CD 17.

How many days are your typical cycles?

Mine average 33 days according to mymonthlycycles, and I didn't get a +OPK until CD 17. According to mymonthlycycles, I would ovulate on CD 20, but apparently I ovulate a little earlier than that.

I just started charting but I thought all along my cycles were about 29 or 30 days.

I guess this charting thing will really tell me the whole story.

I hope I O and don't have to go to some other more invasive stuff.

Don't give up hope! In the last 3 months, I've o'd on CD 20, CD18 and CD17. My cycle is irregular, but between 30 and 34 days. It just might not have happened yet. Keep BD'ing and testing. Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

Yes, it is possible. Your LH surge might be below the threshold. Are you temping as well? When you notice a shift in temps, and they stay significantly higher for 3+ days, you'll know that you HAVE ovulated. Unfortunately, that doesn't help you figure out the best time to BD beforehand.

ETA: It is also possible to miss the surge, depending on how long it lasts & what time you test. HTH!

Re: Damn OPK tests

ok, thanks. I had a rise in temp over the last few days but not significant. I will continue on the path. I usually know when I O since I get pain but maybe this month is different.

I'm really hoping I didn't blow it by waiting so long to try. Come on eggs...!!

Are you charting online? A lot of girls have posted a link to their charts for others to look at. If you're not used to charting, sometimes it's hard to see the shift at first. Also, it can be as little as .4 degrees difference. It's whether or not it stays up that high (generally) that tells you it's happened.

Re: Damn OPK tests

With a 29-30 day cycle I would start the OPKs on CD11 and test from there.

Honestly, I tried them one month as a tester and completely missed when I Od b/c I ignored my EWCM since I didn't get a +.

Once your temp has spiked (and remained spiked) you have already Od.

Re: Damn OPK tests

I had 2 days of higher temp and then it went down today. I have EWCM for the first time today..I don't think I o'd yet. I guess I'll have to chart a few cycles before I really know the deal.

This is frustrating.
