Maybe I remembered wrong about the 10am thing. I do always have stronger tests from noon onwards though.

OT: Ugh, three helicopters circling for the past 20mins. Unnerving!!

I thought I was in the two week wait, but my temps are failing me! Got a positive on CD14 (a few days back)... I used ICs and digital. Both confirmed the surge. But my temps NEVER rose not one bit, then today, my temp dips!!! I have never had progesterone level issues, and I felt O pains, so I have no idea what is going on. Fx, I may be releasing ANOTHER egg, so I'm gonna pull my OPKs back out and see if I get another surge. You guys know I want twins. This wouldn't be a bad thing, if I knew for sure a second egg was preparing to be released. Fx

the drop could just be a secondary estrogen surge. i always had a bit of a dip around 3-4dpo and then it would go right back up. but when in doubt - BD!

I always have a dip around 3 dpo, too, but my temp would have risen to confirm O. In this case, my temps have not risen at all...not even a little (for a few days). Then, it just dips.

LH surge was confirmed with blazing positives from ICs AND my CB digital a few days ago. But no rise.

did you maybe O on cd13 & catch the end of your surge the next day? just looking at that dip you had then just before your positive opk... but since your pre-o temps were higher, ff may be struggling with cross hairs.

Magical: It might be that your body tried to ovulate with the surge, but for whatever reason it didn't happen. Have you ever had long or irregular cycles before?

 

[campn]

I'm in a pickle now. The temp rise and my almost +ve opk makes me think I may have ovulated already... Which is going to be early for me. I don't know! I'll take another opk in an hour (trying to hold my pee) and see!

If in case I did O yesterday, do you think I'd catch that egg? We only BD twice this cycle! Ughhh!

Hmm... that's a thought! But I thought O always happens AFTER the surge, 12-48 hours after. I used both ICs and digital on CD13...both negative. Then on CD14, they were negative in the afternoon, but blazing positive later that night.

Then 4 hours after I got positive OPKs, I felt strong O pains on my left side. This is sooooo mind boggling!

I think I'm gonna pull out my OPKs and test twice a day to see if I catch another surge. Just in case....

if youd O yesterday - your bd's look good! maybe just get one more in today to be sure to cover the whole window.

I agree with jGo campn. Your timing is looking great for two days before O and the day of O. Get one more in today, which could be the day after O and it looks pretty good.

i'd agree - keep testing, just in case. but like anything - opks, temps, etc... they aren't an exact science. i've read many times that temping is much more accurate in determining if O happened... so who knows! but, to be on the safe side, maybe test a few more days and sneak in some extra bding.

Hey congrats! just noticed you got your bfp

 

[campn]

Any of these look positive? The top one is yesterday, the two bottom ones are today's.

I'll BD today too just in case. I've never been this confused.

thank you!

that bottom one is awfully close.... i'd test again tonight & tmrw... maybe be ready to BD today and tmrw just to cover it!

 

[ajr1990]

so frustrated. finally got around to checking cervix today and I'm confused a little.
yesterday I had tons of EWCM and cervix was def high, super soft and open. Today med VERY FIRM and closed(and dry!).
I never got a + OPK AND my temp went down little more today.
I'm assuming this means I ovulated.. which I'm OK with but what gives with the temp not up? cervix is def VERY different and totally dry in there today. I am about 99.9% sure ovulation already happen..
Thoughts?

I've been getting CLOSE ones too but I never got a positive .. so I'm right there with you. You chart?
I think I might have ovulated but I never got a + and my temp went down.

They look super close! So close that in 6 to 8 hours, they will probably be SUPER positive!

Usually when mine look like the bottom one, it is the afternoon, and by night time, I'll take another one and it's super positive. (darker than the control line)

I'm having the opposite. I just finished bleeding and my cervix is softer than it has ever been. I'm so confused. Maybe your thermometer was off this morning? Everything else sounds like you already O'd. Temping is supposed to make it easier to know that you O'd, not more confusing lol.

Girls... Things got taken care of good thing DH has every other Friday off, and we dropped off DS at the grandparents for the weekend since it's our 5 year anniversary, so as soon as we were home I pulled out the inner porn star I've inside... I used preseed and soft cups so hopefully this works.

I'll take another OPK at night and see if I get a +ve. I'm almost in the TWW finally!

 

[jGo_18]

That a girl camp!! And happy anniversary!

Well geeze now I'm even more confused cervix is still hard but now i have lots of ewcm. I just don't know how much longer I can actively ttc anymore .. I'm drained and so tired of all this
