@beautiful ohh ok..thats ok then..i thought you werent bding as much after the positive opk..since you temp i think it seems reasonable to stop/slow down after you comfirm o..yes also check tools and tickers tab on this site for intercourse timing options based on your cycle..i hope you arent out but just incase

Hi ladies...I've been ttc #4 since January. It's never taken me this long and I'm worried because my cycles are so irregular. I had my labs drawn and FSH, Estriadol, prolactin and TSH were all normal. My doctor suggested getting digital opks to take the guesswork out. Since I'm so irregular I start at day 9 and confirm with digital once I think I've got a positive. Last month I did so and did get a smiley - this month I see the clear progression but never got a smiley to confirm. What gives? They're all super light now from cd 16 to cd 20 today. Did I just not have a strong enough surge? Could I have missed the peak window even if I tested a few hours later?

@Aerling17. It looks like the 3 & 4 look pretty dark and about the same as the coverline. I don't know anything about OPKs either as this is the first time I was using them and posted mine today as well. Keeping my fingers crossed that you didn't miss out.

Temp stayed down and AF came today. I’m moving on to next month.

@Aerling i would have considered 3and 4 positive...although im not sure why you didnt get a solid smiley face..were you testing sane time daily.?..unfortunately the only way to really confirm ovulation is temping..hopefully you got enough bd in around that time to cover your bases..

@callme im so sorry about AF..better luck next month..

AFM finally got my temp shift this morning so O was a little later..so tww here we go.

Ok guys, I’m starting to lose it.

Very light spotting 14-17
POS TEST -26

And now negative tests?!

Ugh

I’m ready to throw my phone at something....

:’(

Hi Vettech..is possible it was a chemical?..

@ purple:I have never had that dark of a positive before :( and I still haven’t started my period :(

Callmecrazy - I am so sorry, hopefully this cycle will be the one!

Purplesummer- hopefully your tww will go by quickly!

Vettchegirl- That sucks. Do you have any symptoms? Like AF is on her way or maybe have early pg symptoms? Perhaps it would be good to go to your Dr and get a blood test. I am sorry, that has got to be so frustrating

Well, There it was!! I finally got my positive OPK in the form of a smiley (CB digital, not the advanced kind). So confusing. My ovulation is therefor probably tomorrow and that makes it a whole week later than expected. This is going to be a very long cycle. Perhaps 35 days long. Longest I've ever had. Managed to do a quicky just now, but not feeling very optimistic about this month since I let my hubby go out with his friends last night drinking. He is a bit hung over and I am guessing his sperm might be drunk as well. If only we would have known, then he would have drunken less.
