I've heard of it happening, that's because your LH surge happens then either early that morning or late that night. Some surges disappear in less than 12 hours so you may have just missed it. As long as the :BFP: happens that is all that matters right.

Me!
I don't test religiously though. I'm now ttc again and I've only done opks one cycle this time. They irritate me because I've never gotten a positive.
And I have 3 kids. I absolutely know that I'm ovulating due to my ewcm, so I bd with that. I've also tempted too, but that's a pain.

you def had to have had a surge that would have been detectable on and lh to be positive in order to have ovulated... but i think you just missed the surge!!! like if the surge started at 10 or 11pm while you were sleeping...and maybe when you woke up it was gone...

I tried twice daily and still never got it. So for me, they're useless, but other women seem to like them. I think they'd be really helpful for women that don't have noticeable ewcm.

When I started Clomid I was told to test using OPKs, all were negative the whole month. Even my day 21 bloods were not conclusive to as whetherI had ovulated. I got my BFP that month.
You may well have ovulated honey, I found OPKs a waste of time!
FX'd that you have and maybe you'll be seeing your BFP very soon.

i'm bumping this back up again for more info

i have been using cbfm and been getting highs for 6 days cd11 until now, no peaks, no positive opks, (i've been using he cheap online dip ones) but my ff peaked yesterday and stayed high today so i'm assuming that i ov already?

 

[pooch]

I has a chemical last month so not sure if it countsbut i have never had even close to a positive opk. I have a whole load of them and am just going to throw them out. I had ewcm and ov pain so i know i ovulated and they were all negatives. Plus they stress me out and i drink tea and water all day long and youcant on the days you want to test.

They don't appear to work for every lady and to be honest they're so ambiguous sometimes it can become really difficult trying to interpret them. If I started using them again I would definitely opt for the Clearblue smiley face ones - makes life easier!

I've been poas 3 times a day since cd4! It's now cd16 and I'm yet to have anything near a positive. IC's haven't even shown a faint second line and Tesco's own had a faint second line around cd11/12 ish. Quite honestly all they've managed to do is stress me out. I've ordered a CBFM which should arrive sometime near the weekend but not holding out much hope as it's Easter! Temping using ff has helped and looking out for other signs such as cm have been useful although it's my first month so I'm just getting the hang of it. Am going to give up on OPK's, but then, I might as well use the rest of them up hadn't I?!

i agree i thought and felt every thing was going along til i started gettng repeated neg opks this month, put me on a right downer.

It has happened to be 2 times with the CBFM....two different cycles I never got a peak, but I did get pregnant on those two cycles - both ended in MC, but that's beside the point. Point is I DID ovulate, but the monitor did not pick it up.

 

[pooch]

i spoke too soon because i just took a test (CD 20) and got my first positive ever. 31 day cycle. i guess i'd say keep testing, you may O later than you think?

Right! Mine said to limit fluid for 4 hours prior to the test. Are you crazy? In 4 hours I will probably drink 4 huge glasses of water!
