Question

Is it possible to still have ovulated and opks not show the surge?

I was taking opks a few days before, during, and a few days after my fertile week and I never got a darker line than the control. I had the ewcm and the pinching from possible ovulation during my fertile week. My schedule is too crazy to try and do the bbt. Now I am only a week away from my expected af and all my O symptoms have gone away as usual. Is it possible to still have O'd and the opks just didn't pick it up?

Absolutely! U don't need a positive opk to ovulate, just like u don't have to ovulate becuz u have a positive opk. It's just urine test, so it's only showing u a window of what's happening in ur blood...many things can alter the results of those tests so they def aren't something to bet all ur money on.

Yep! Sometimes I don't see the surge...but o is confirmed other signs (such as you've described) and definitely by bbt. Many women say "they don't have time". In reality, it takes 35 seconds. My thermometer has an alarm, so it wakes me up, I temp, I go back to sleep :) it can be a challenge if you have trouble sleeping or don't go to bed and rise on a regular schedule. However, it is one of the best tools to gain insight on what body is month to :) Good luck!!

My Doctor with agree with both of these ladies. OPKs are not a reliable source. they cant tell you when and or if you ovulated. sometimes you will get a negative and it could be ovulating.

Thank you ladies! I was beginning to worry that maybe I wasn't ovulating and that was why I wasn't getting a bfp. Hopefully this month will be the lucky one!
