do you chart? this is my first cycle charting and feel so much more confident with our ttc efforts that + opk..at least if you know you timed it correctly, you can feel better about the chances. that seems to be the biggest obstacle. and the other thing is to just stay in bed after and not get up.

What are you doing at the mo? and how long have you been TTC?

With my first it took 13mths I came off BCP in March 2010 and got my in May 2011 the only thing i did different the mth we caught that eggy was i did nothing, no OPK's no charting, no stressing just had plenty of

Are tracking ovulation? If not maybe get some Internet cheapies and give that a go. Could do sperm meets egg plan? Epo for extra ewcm. Folic acid of course. And get your oh taking zinc as it improves swimmers. Gl! X

Is it possible you ovulated later then you thought and so what you thought was your period could actually have been implantation bleeding?

Well going by opks no I couldn't have but u never nobi guess

Hmm....even though some people have irregular cycles, your luteal phase length will never change. So if your period was a week late, you ovulated a week later than you thought. I have a 12 day LP, so I always get AF 12 days after I ovulate every month. Sometimes our bodies try to ovulate (and you get a spike that shows up positive on a opk) but they fail and try again later. I bet that is what happened with you. I would definitely keep a record each month and figure out your LP length to help pinpoint ovulation.

Like everyone else is saying..charting def helps if you aren't already..I didn't see if you'd said that in other posts. Also, theres a lube called Conceive Plus (or PreSeed) that is sperm friendly I used it and have a 2 yr old to show for it! Good luck.
