Yh sorry hun I was having a little play, if temp goes up tomorrow Ff put crosshairs in, we will see hun I will keep testing with opks tho tho ,
Thanks for ur help xx

How are you doing today? Your chart is still looking really good. Is today's temp helping?

No cross hairs hun but it's goin up slowly, hope it rises above my cover line tomorrow least ill no then that I o'd , u ok ? X

I am well. Think I o'd yesterday. I hope you get your crosshairs soon!

I'm stil waiting hun, wat do u think
to my chart hun? X

Chart still looks good to me, but I am not an expert. Still looks like you have not ovulated. How you doing today?

Well - I slept with my mouth open, it's -20 degrees outside and I had the covers off all night. Had a temp drop this AM but don't know if it's accurate.

Still think I o'd yesterday as I sore bbs today - which usually occurs the day after ov. Hope temp goes up tomorrow.

Think next month I may temp vaginally. Seems more accurate.

Hey ladies - I did some research during my lunch break today and found some interesting information.

Although very rare, it is possible to ovulate without showing a BBT rise. Since some women have a short LH surge, that can be missed as well. I had always heard that no BBT rise means a lack of progesterone which can lead to m/c but, the articles I read today stated that is not always the case. Some women just have such a small temp rise it's not detected even with a BBT thermometer.

Now - it is rare enough that the chances are none of us fall in this category but, still interesting.

That is interesting hun sounds like me lol x

Hey ladies, hoping you can help me out with something. I use the OPK's and I got a positive yesterday. The first month I used them, after I got the positive, I stopped testing. I decided this month to keep testing until it's negative. I got my positive at 5:30 last night, on CD 16. I took another one this morning at 7:30, and that was positive too. I'm going to keep using them until they turn negative, but my question is this; What day do I mark for ovulation? I've read that the OPK is positive approximately 12-36 hours before ovulation. With that, I would think that I would mark today as O day, but technically, it could be tomorrow too? I'm a little confused. Last month, my cycle was 30 days. I marked CD 16 as ovulation, but then my luteal phase would be 15 days. Which seems a day too long to me. So I'm thinking I actually O'd on CD 17 and only had a 14 day luteal phase, which seems to make a little more sense to me. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I will test again when I get home from work. The test this morning was darker than the control line, but lighter than yesterday's test line. So I'm thinking by the time I get home, it may be negative.

Congrats on the +OPK!

I agree that temps are the only way to know for sure. I typically O the day after my last positive but everyone is different. Just BD every day to every other for 3 days or so to be safe.

The only way to pinpoint o is by temping. I'm in the same boat...pos OPK last night and again this morning.

Congrats and good luck!!

Thanks!! I've been hoping to avoid temping, because as you can see, just the OPK's drive me crazy, lol. I'll probably give it a few more months before I start temping. I'll just BD once a day for the next couple of days, just to make sure. Thanks again for everyone's input.

OPK was negative when I got home from work, so I'm thinking my surge is about 12-24 hours. Since I don't temp, I'm going to go with my best guess and say I O'd today. Now off to the TWW. Good luck ladies!!! I'll be thinking good thoughts for all of you!
