OK so I am totally new at this testing to see when you ovulate. I have been doing First Response OPK since my period ended (the month supply one). Every morning I would get up go to the bathroom and take the test. We would watch as the line would get deeper in color every day. To cover all our bases we were baby making also. Well yesterday I tested in the morning like usual and the line was not there anymore. I thought to myself wow I must have ovulated yesterday (we babymaked that day so I wasn't really concerned) and then I tested this morning and the same thing, no line.... So that really gets me thinking I must have ovulated. I am not temping this go around but I am just wondering am I correct in what I am thinking about the OPK? Did I ovulate??? This month October 8th made me 7 months since my last depo shot and I have been having normal periods for the last two months and I am about 26 day cycles. Any help from the people who have been through this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

If you had a positive OPK chances are you ovulated. I usually ovulate on the day that my OPK goes negative again. Everyone is different though. The only way of knowing is by charting.

Welcome :wave: if your line got as dark or darker than the control line before you stopped getting a line, then yes you've had your positive keep in mind that ovulation happens 12-48hrs after a pos, but they say you're at your most fertile when you get your pos anyways. What cycle day are you at now? I had a 26-27 day cycle and my pos would typically show up around CD14-16 if that helps at all x

Well I am now on day 13 of my cycle and the last time we saw the thick line was cd 11. I am hoping that this was the one. This past weekend was my husbands and I 1 year anniversary so you know we were baby making then and it would be so neat to think we conceived our baby on our one year anniversary.

 

[sherylb]

That's a very reasonable day for you to have ovulated. Good luck!

Thank you sherylb... I have been following your journey and all the ladies too and you guys give me hope. I look forward to the time of the month to test to see if we are pregnant or not. Even if not I keep on trying and having y'all and this disscussion group has been so much help for me in trying to just figure things out. So thank you ladies and I hope to one day have my BFP, ONE DAY it will happen I know it will.

I got tired of trying to guess if the opk was - + so I bought the clear blue smiley faces it takes out all the guessing. Plus smiley face makes me happy.

That's so funny, I conceived this baby on what was mine and FOB's one year anniversary But cd11 sounds like a huge possibility to get your pos. Good luck!! x

OK well the last couple of days I have been feeling very weird. I have been nauseas and peeing like a race horse (sorry tmi). We are planning on taking our home pregnancy test thursday morning. I just feel totally different. Wish me luckk and lots of pregnancy prayers that it will happen for my husband and I. Thanks

 

[sherylb]

Before I even tested I felt like I was starting all day long and went back and forth to the bathroom all day.

 

[jess1983]

Ooh good luck. I have my fingers crossed for you!

 

[rocketb]

Happygirl,

Goodluck! I remember getting nothing on the test (IC) in the morning, but felt weird all day. On a whim, I tested after getting home from work and got the faintest of faint lines on an IC. It was so light that DH wouldn't believe it until I tested again the next morning (at the crack of dawn because I was too excited to sleep) with one of my stash of more expensive tests.

BTW, if anyone is feeling down about lack of progress.... Go take a look at the first post in this thread.

It's amazing and so encouraging to see how many BFPs we've had this year! It WILL happen!

 

[sherylb]

And I haven't updated that in months so there's probably more.

How is everyone?

[happygirl29]

Thanks everybody.... We are just nerviousing waiting for Thursday to show up so we can take the test. What are your thoughts on taking the pregnancy test that are early testing before your missed periods? Thursday will be 5 days before my missed period and I am wondering even if it doesn't show postive this week I should still test a week later? Thoughts????

 

[sherylb]

I think they are a waste of money. I got my on an internet cheapie test and then confirmed with a digital. I think the chances of a false negative are still not worth doing it early.

Going to try to have her today. I was up all night with contractions but they aren't hurting enough to go to hospital. Have a doctors appointment at 10:10 (3+ hours from now) so will see then if they are progressing.
