Hi everyone,
I'm rather confused at the mo. Here's the reason....I came off the pill May 13th and had my withdrawal bleed then a cycle of 34 days before a 4 day not-too-heavy bleed. Well I thought that I had O'd on July 9th when my ticker said as my last cycle was 34 days and that would have been the same time as last cycle. Also, my cheapie OPK tests had been getting darker and darker til they were the darkest I'd had, though still not quite as dark as the control line.
Being the impatient cow I am, I POAS from 5DPO (yes I know that's ridiculous) and each time BFN. I used ICs until 14DPO when I got BFN on FRER. I waited until 18DPO to test again and used FRER with BFN as I'd run out of ICs.
So I guessed I was out and was just awaiting AF. However, she is still not here, now 19 DPO. But, 2 evenings ago, I got a significant line on an OPK (been doing them for a few days out of interest). It was quite dark, I'd say as dark as the control line when it had dried, but the line dried off to one side though it's now still as dark as the control line, top to bottom, but thin if you know what I mean.
We BD last night just in case it was a very late and long-awaited O but had not been BDing since a day after when I previously thought I had O'd.
I've been reading about OPKs not working well for many women with PCOS so now I am very very confused. Ideas anyone?!
