Is it possible to ovulate without LH surge smiley?
i've been opk'ing since cd10, BD'ing every other day, and i've never had a smiley. i had to buy another pack of those things because i ran out.
i'm now cd20, and no smiley to indicate LH surge.
on cd12, i felt all the symptoms of ovulation like really sore boobs, af like cramps, high anxiety, but no EWCM, no LH surge. and then it all went away.
could i have ovulated already without the opk detecting it?

Are you using the CBE digitals?
What time of day are you testing? Are you holding your urine for 4 hours before testing?
How long are your cycles usually?

Yes, you can O without the test picking it up. The same thing happend to me last month. I tested for 1 week, got no smiley, bought another box and tested- still no smiley. I went to the dr the middle of the second week and had bloodwork done and the bloodworked confirmed I had just O'd. The opk didn't pick up the surge.

i was so over worried about this, i went to see my ob/gyn. they confirmed that it certainly is possible to ovulate without a surge showing up. they also did blood work and will let me know once the results come back whether i have.
i was testing with fmu using CBE digital smileys every single day since CD10. the month prior i was using the dollar tree opk's in the middle of the day and never got a positive reading then either.
my cycles are from 26-28 days.

I think it is possible.
I never got a surge last month, and pretty sure I O'd due to other symptoms.

It is possible to never get a surge and still ovulate, but it is rare.

This is good to know, because everything I have read said it is rare.
Thanks for letting me know! 
ETS: This is the exact reason why I temp. I like to know for sure what is going on.

I was on Clomid and used OPK's from CD10 to around CD 30 never getting a smiley face... On CD 30, I decided what the hell, let me try a pregnancy test since I had an extra one and I got a BFP... so you never know!

funny you should say, the obgyn said the same thing. temping is a surer way to go and recommended it over the opk's.
