Afraid to test: 26 dp + OPK, but no AF

[christiangal]

My BBTs & CM are always confusing, but I did get a + OPK on cd 20, but I am now on cd 46 and no AF (last 2 cycles were 42 days long). From what I read, the time after ovul to af should be 12-16 days unless preg, but my BBT only rose for a couple days after + OPK and then went back to pre OPK. Just started temping vaginally instead (sorry tmi) and BBT is showing 97.3 compared to 96.8 orally, b/c I read if you sleep w/ your mouth open it can lower BBT. Also have had clear stretchy CM for several days now, similar to EWCM that I had around the time of the + OPK. Afraid to test b/c don't want to see a negative.
Anyone had symptoms like this and ended up preg? TTC for 7 months & discouraged.

Hiya hun

I don't use any method of charting/temperature taking ect. But I am 19 dpo and on day 38 of my cycle (normal cycle 32 days) so 6 days late. I too have started getting egg white discharge so very confused. I have taken a test today FMU it was bfn. The only hope I can offer is the fact that my mum who had twins tested positive two weeks after her missed af but had no symptoms but weeing alot by 7 weeks. We are all different. If you are really worried go see your doc or nurse or ask one of those online docs for a quicker response.

Hope you get your BFP soon. I know I will be afraid to test too as the days go by.

Goodluck and babydust

Thanks, Wannabeam!
My BBTs make me wonder if I'm ovulating at all or not producing enough progresterone. I may wait a few more days to see if af does come, but I sure have been waiting a long time already!
God bless and baby dust to you!

It sounds like you could be ovulating now. Vaginal temps are always much higher than oral so your BBT chart will be messed up since FF will think you've been temping orally the whole time. Your body may have tried to ovulate but failed which would explain why it went back down to pre o temps shortly after. I'd take the pos OPK as a real pos opk and BD. If you've been temping vaginally keep doing it and see if you get a sustained temp rise. xx


ETA: Just saw you haven't taken an HPT. Go take one asap. If it is negative, you're probably just now ovulating. This has happened to me before hun it sucks :/

Thanks, Taylorxx! My temps have not dropped since I've been temping vaginally for the past 5 days of my now 48 day (& counting) cycle. If I did ovulate again I may have missed the window b/c my cm is not ew and stretchy today. Just can't bring myself to take an HPT yet, so I'm going to wait a few more days.

Keep positive, we'll all get there eventually, and it's good you are keeping a close eye on your body because you will really notice it when you really are preggo.
