Fertility friend charting OPKs

[Jayceesmumma]

Ive had 6 OPK positives now, some fainter than the others but maybe one strong one but it wasnt as strong as the control line! WHEN did i ovulate? i thought u could tell by BBT too, but i cant understand it! Can someone look at my chart and tell me if they can understand? The link is in the chart stalkers post...
Thanks girlies

It's difficult to say, but going by your temperatures I would say that you haven't ovulated certainly since you started temping, because there has been no significant rise. That's not to say that you didn't ovulate before you started temping, but it's difficult to work that one out because there is a chance that the temps you have now are your post-O temps, meaning that AF could be due within the next few days.

However, if I had to guess as to whether you have ovulated yet or not, I would be inclined to say that you haven't ovulated yet, as your temps seem to be around the 'average' for someone who hasn't yet ovulated, so keep at it

so shall i change the + to - on the OPK?

It's up to you ..... I know we talked about this yesterday but I can't just find the convo right now!

What time of day are you taking them? Do you reduce the amount of fluids you drink before you do them? Do you read the result within the timeframe?

Actually, you said above that none have been positive, and only one was strong but not as strong as the control line, so therefore it wasn't a positive, and so this would all mean that you haven't actually had any positives at all yet. If you are able to, it would be a good idea to keep doing them so that you can foresee ovulation before it actually happens - taking your temps will not give you that advance warning, it will just confirm the fact to you three days later!

so maybe i Oed before i started charting? being that they are getting fainter?
i do them after 11am with no extra water intake and glare at them for 5 mins so i get right result lol!

There is a chance you could have O'd before you started temping, but my gut feeling is still that you haven't yet ovulated. (Watch me be proved wrong now! )

Will you be doing the OPKs every day still? I know it's expensive but really it's the only way to foresee ovulation. Is your long cycle due to coming off the pill or something?

 

[Jayceesmumma]

Yeah its long coz i came off pill.. so thats why i wanted to use OPKs so i know 1) when and if im ovulating and 2) when my AF is due...no-one likes surprises!
Yeah ill still be doing OPKs, i bought 50 off ebay lol lots left!

 

[LauraB]

Ah, that's good then, at least you can keep testing! What a bummer - the longest cycle I ever had was about 46 days or something, so I can't imagine how you must be feeling after this amount of time! Well hopefully something will happen sooner or later - ovulation, or, AF! Fingers crossed it's the first one!
