yeah, you can get a positive OPK but not ovulate though It stinks but it can happen.
Do you chart your temps?

oh ok...I havent heard of anyone taking it longer than 5 days is all.....I am sure she knows what she is doing.

yeah i know thats what im thinking i never new that i wont be testin this month,no but may start would u recommend charting??

 

[dandybrush]

i would def recommend it wanting, it gives you a clearer pic of what your body is doing and when you Ov you will know, cause the temps go and stay up

 

[lisaf]

want - check out my charts (the bar in my signature)...
You can see all my cycles... see how my ovulation moved around and at the bottom is a super long cycle where I didn't ovulate... the lack of clear shift in temp is pretty obvious. I had one late ovulation before this last cycle and would have thought my period was late except I knew when it was REALLY due because you always have the same number of days after ovulation and before your period.

(oh, unless you take progesterone suppositories, lol... which I did a few times and you can see my temp go back up but no BFP etc..)

ok thanks ladies ill start charting do you have to get a certain thermometer and do it and certain time?

fertilityfriend.com gives you great instructions on how to do it.
Ideally it has to be taken at the same time every day, before you wake up or move around (so keep it on your bedside table).
You should get a thermometer that has 2 decimal places.. any one that says its a basal thermometer usually has it.. the run about $10... best money I ever spent on TTC.

well i appear to be in the tww...but i think its wrong, that was a big day in the sun and i had no CM, so i think the temp drop isnt Ov related i hope im right, cause then im out of the running this month if i really did Ov then

 

[lisaf]

your temp hasn't really shifted above the earlier temps... I'm not sure I'd say that you ovulated... especially when compared to last month's chart

 

[dandybrush]

exactly!! woo i hope i havent missed it yet then

hey guys just wondering what you do to increase your cm?

i ended up really sore down below this cycle cause i found myself to be very dry from the clomid

so i started taking robitussen but i think it was after I Oved but i also didnt find it to make me much more wet I'll mention it to my gyn when i see her, but just wondering what you find works best
