OVULATION confused negatives dont know if to try testing for a whole month instead

[taylorxx]

Hmmm... well I'd keep using OPKs because other than that day (I'm guessing it's either CD13/14) it doesn't look like you've ovulated yet. How long are your cycles? xx

my cycles are about 28 days normally my AF is bang on every month

13th or 14th look suspect for ov. It would depend on what the next couple of days temps do. I would definitely recommend fertility friend.

im trying to sign up to fertility friend but atmo but ant get in somehow so iv left em a message to say that im haven trouble signing up to it

Not everyone has a 14 day LP, yours is probably shorter As long as it's at least 11/10 days long you're fine Keep on using the opks! xx

 

[jaydee79]

im running out of opks now but iv descided to try and order some off the interent and sent them a message asking them if they can put them on hold until i can afford them if they can hopefully buy time i make payment for them i shud be haveing my AF but because iv asked to buy 200 opks which works out cheaper and gonna start after my AF round about the start of next month this is one reason i think its better to start testing maybe soon After my AF then i might even descided to get one of those ovulation saliva sticks instead if the opks dont work but i think its better i get a huge bundle of cheapy opks as a back up to start frm scratch again and keep doing my BBT chart as well to get a clear pattern of whats trying to happen

erm iv not checked yet but i will do very soon thanks

I would recommend one-step ovulation strips from homehealth (or they sell online too)

If I went by an online calculator giving me a predicted ovulation week based on my normal 26 day cycle, I would not be ovulating in that week - in fact this wouldnt be my 3rd pregnancy as I would be doing it at all the wrong times.

I have a 26 day cycle, and online calculators would say my fertile time is around day 8-14 - If I tested around then my opks would be all negative. I do not ovulate til day 16/17!!!

Buy cheap opks as above and test longer. Start testing 16 days before you expect your next period and keep testing til 9 days before your period.......eg if you have a 28 day cycle I would test from day 12-18 at least!

Good luck!

iv ordered one step opks earlier
about 200 opk 4packs in 50

Fertility Friend has an education section that has a bunch of link that will help you understand your chart and what it's trying to tell you. I just started temping, but I've been using FF for other things for a while. It really has been helpful to chart everything. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you! I hope you figure it all out and get your BFP soon.

 

[jaydee79]

thanks hun iv had a little browse tonight on it to look around there are so many list of things lol but i also asked em about trying to also put it on here because i wud like to let others see it on this site if its possible dont know what they will say tho yet its just alittle waiting game for them to get back to me on this one i guess because im all new to this and a complete newbee at starrting this BBT and im curious and intrested to see the result at the end and figure out my days GL to you 2 hun glad you find FF so helpful for your purpose thats cool

 

[jaydee79]

omg i am really suprised to be honest even tho my CM is thick with EWCM im on CD22 from what fertilityfriend has said and i think iv just ovulated even tho i got a negative opk today around 7pm ish im surpose to be due for my period in 10 days time i think, please if you ladies dont want to know or find this affensive and disgusting dont look and look away now,for those who do then,, do u think this is a clear sign iv just ovulated my OH IS GOING TO BE SO PISSED when he finds out jeezzeee is it possible do u think i could actually have a longer AF wait this time prehaps or do u think im in for a long TWW now which i had a slight gutt instinct this was just not gonna be my month i had a feeling BBT i think actually does work omg im still baffled https://i55.tinypic.com/2s9dbt3.jpg

A lot of people have links to their charts in their signature on here. But an easier way to do it until you get the hang of things is if you go to your chart and copy the website at the top and then paste it in a message here, that should do it for now, until you hear back from FF. (Or you could paste it using the little world button right above the message box)

But seeing it would help us help you.

If you think you're ov-ing at the moment, I suggest you go BD.

doesn't help that much but just looked it up this is what i found

Egg white cervical mucous is a fertile sign, right? From everything you have read about cervical fluid and ovulation, you probably know that seeing egg white looking cervical mucous is a sign of ovulation. But, what if you notice ewcm after your chart shows that you have ovulated. What does this mean?

There are a few possibilities. It is possible to have ewcm after you ovulate. The hormone estrogen is involved in the production of ewcm. As estrogen increases just before ovulation, you will notice an increase in cervical mucous. This egg white looking mucous is a sign of high fertility. When you notice ewcm you should consider yourself fertile and plan on having intercourse if you are trying to conceive.
EWCM and estrogen

EWCM occurs as a response to increases in estrogen levels. About a week after you ovulate you may have another increase in estrogen, but this increase is not quite as high as what occurs during ovulation. Estrogen and progesterone levels increase to help thicken the lining of your uterus in preparation for implantation. When this happens you might notice a second patch of ewcm. This is not necessarily typical but it is also not unusual.
EWCM due to delayed ovulation

Another possibility is that you did not ovulate when you originally thought or your ovulation was delayed for some reason. It is possible to gear up to ovulate and then not ovulate. Some women will have an increase in LH which shows up as a positive ovulation test and have fertile cervical mucous, but then because of stress, illness or some other factor, not actually ovulate. If you do not have a clear thermal shift on your chart or you are not sure if you have in fact ovulated, it is best to consider this type of cervical fluid a sign of fertility. You should plan to have intercourse when you see this type of fluid to cover your bases so to speak.
EWCM and anovulatory cycles

If you are noticing multiple patches of ewcm on your chart but your temperatures do not show a clear thermal shift, you may be having anovulatory cycles. What this means is that your body may be trying to ovulate, which is why you are seeing the patches of ewcm, but for some reason you are not ovulating. During a typical ovulation chart you will see ewcm followed by a temperature shift and a drying up of cervical mucous. You should feel dry after you ovulate. This is one way to confirm that ovulation has occurred. If you are having patches of fertile CM but you are not seeing a clearly biphasic chart (a follicular phase, ovulation and a luteal phase), it could mean that you are not ovulating. If this is the case, you may want to bring your charts to your doctor and get further advice.

i just found this on fertility friend ...... maybe i just mist my time even tho i got a negative opk this evening and this is what i found on there..... Yes, it is possible to ovulate without ever seeing a positive OPK (or peak reading on your fertility monitor). OPKs are designed to detect the surge of luteinizing hormone in your urine. This is the last hormone to peak before ovulation and the hormone that is responsible for triggering the rupture of the ovarian sac. LH needs to surge in order for ovulation to occur, but in some cases, the pattern of your surge and the time you test (if you do not manage to capture the surge when you test) will not let you see a positive result. If you have a sharp LH surge, for example, you may take one test before your surge is detectable by your kit and another test when your LH has already begun to trail and is no longer detectable by the kit. Whether or not you see a positive OPK result, it is recommended to keep on having intercourse until ovulation is confirmed by a clear and sustained thermal shift

mm good point rachel thanks hun its also :confusing: TBhonest cuz i have had alittle dip today but no positive opk with EWCM i think as you can see from my pickie iv got to tell my OH to get his skates on it could be time for round 2 of and if he can handle it its just my daughter whos 8yrs old is a brilliant form of contrception at the mo lol its just finding her something to do lol or matter of waiting until shes gone to bed tomoz night and i think we cud of mist our chances this month maybe hun. x

 

[jaydee79]

good news is iv had an email from the 200 opks iv ordered so thats kinda cheered me up alittle fingers croxxed and lots of baby never give up hope xxx

 

[taylorxx]

what rachel said! EWCM is just caused by estrogen surges, which happens all throughout your cycle even after ov. You usually get the most before/during ov, but sometimes you can get quite a bit after ov. Maybe its a good sign! Can you post a link to your FF chart? xx
