CD36 advice

[alyssa.s]

Hello everyone. I have been posting in tww but I believe I am much past my time there. It is cd36 for me, af is officially a week late. Never had an issue with long cycles as I am only 20. In fact I used to have relatively short 25-26 day cycles after using the pill. This is my first cycle off of the skyla iud, but cycles were still regular on that because I only had it about 8 months. Last af was 2/3-2/9, skyla removed 2/10. Light withdrawal spotting 2/11 and 2/12. Not even enough to wear a panty liner. I have a confirmed opk on 2/18 at doctors request.

I guess I am just wondering what I should do now. Should I stop taking hpts? I have had bfns since cd 25. When should I start with the opks again? And how is it possible I had confirmed opk but no af? Don't those two go hand in hand???

It is possible to be pregnant and not have a positive yet, there are definitely stories right here on B&B of women who didn't get their positive until 18dpo or later. That said, it's also possible that you didn't ovulate. All an opk tells you is that you're experiencing a hormone surge to trigger ovulation. It usually does happen 12-36 hours after the first positive, but not always.

Thanks! It is so confusing.
