winston - you're not a downer.. .its important that people who are not doing so well get the support and attention they need here... we love the good news but it shouldn't overshadow those who really need the help, you know?

I've heard some women ovulate as late as CD25 on Clomid so there is still a chance, but don't want to give you false hope.
Did you switch brands of OPKs for any reason? I mention it because I have had really bad luck with certain brands of OPKs never turning positive for me.

which opk would you say is best?

I really think its an individual thing. Some are more sensitive than others... if they're too sensitive they might turn positive when your natural LH levels are just a little higher than normal (common with women with PCOS) and obviously if its not sensitive enough, you won't get a positive even if you surge. Each woman's natural level and surge level are unique.

Personally, I found the Answer brand OPKs to be too sensitive, the First Reponse brand were no where near sensitive enough and the cheap internet brand I buy have worked perfectly for me. I just suggest trying a different brand each cycle.
Do you chart your temps too? That way you'd at least know you O'd even if the OPK wasn't a good fit for you.

dont know haw to chart

oh yeah, lol I test 2x a day... this cycle I got a negative at 11am.. my 5pm test was positive (equal darkness)... next day my 11am test was super positive... last evening it was just equal color again...
so if I was only testing in the evenings, and my tests were not sensitive enough, I could have missed my surge.

fertilityfriend is the best way to learn to chart... they have little tutorials that show you how.
If you click on my purple chart you can see my charts... if you scroll down you'll see what a non-ovulating chart looks like and see how different it looks when you ovulate. You just have to take your temp in the mornings (same time every day before you get up and move around). Its seriously the BEST tool I've had for this whole TTC mess.

Grr - I had the same this cycle Winston. Although I did get patchy positive opk's (even smiley face ones) I didn't actually ovulate. My temp never went up and my cd21 was extremely sad.

Hence I am doubling up this cycle!

 

[Smile4me]

for doubling up!!!!!

FX'd for everyone!!

[DragonMummy]

my GP has given me more clomid so that I can double up. They can't prescribe it initially but they do have the power to double your dose up. Might be worth speaking to them, seeing if you can get another month's go. x
