OPK Issues

[Kimba85]

Hey ladies

I am totally confused so need some help.

I have been using the cheapy opk sticks for last few months and have never had a problem. However this month I decided not to use my CBM just because it gets so expensive. This is where my dilemma started because I panicked on day 10 and though i have no idea when i should ovulate so I stated the POAS regime. J

Last week I had what I thought was a positive so be BDing all week then yesterday I had a negative so I thought well i have caught it so that’s fine. Just to check I did one this morning and it is a STRONG positive. Its way darker than the control line but its day 24 for me?! I always have ovulated on day 17-19 at latest so what is going on? Has this ever happen for anyone? I am also pretty sure i felt the ovulation pains last week so what’s going on? Should I BD tonight?

My normal cycle is about 34-35 so now this will push my past my testing date of 31st March too.

Any advice ladies would be good!

xx

Oh no – i never even thought of that? Do you think it’s a possibility then?

Thanks so much for answering Liz! xx

It could be 2 things hun, either you didnt really ovulate the first time but you did get a surge, therefore your body is having a 2nd attempt at ovulating, and you may find that you get AF slightly later this cycle......ORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.............. You did ovulate the first time round and you are getting positives on the opks cos of HCG????

So what date did you get the first positive opk? Just to work out dpo and all that?

A strong positive at this time would mean that you are likely to ovulate either today, tomorrow or next day and if you cycle is the length you say it is then that would give quite a short luteal phase? I'm betting on one of two things..........either you are ovulating now and you will get a much later AF, OR you are quite possibly up the duff!

It might help to know what day you got the positive opk last week? was it early, i.e. monday ish or more to the weekend? Implantation would happen at the "earliest" at 7 dpo, but averages about 9-10dpo. So just wondering if you got a positive EARLY last week that would put you at at least 7-8dpo?

Just waffling now sorry!

No not at all hun! Arghh this bloody ttc thing is hard work! Maybe I didn’t really ovulate then as it was towards the end of the week so very few DPO L I am hoping it’s the latter and I’m up the duff! Fx as my sister is 8 weeks pregnant and after trying 7 months now I can’t wait for a BFP! I just thought this cycle I would try and take it a bit more natural and not worry about all the testing however I wish I had used my CBM now and I wouldn’t be having this dilemma! Lol. Not sure how much more BDing the hubby can take! Lol!

Thanks for the info. I will do a cheapie test tonight when I get in and then wait for AF to show up if not! xx

Hey love

I had this same thing last cycle! I got +opks both CD8 and CD18, turns out my body actually OVd the second time round, just to confuse me you know lol. It confused the life out of me aswell and proper stressed me out cause last cycle was my first so I thought ohwell positive away I go then I had cramp took another opk and positive again so I was like wtf so I reackon I missed my egg last cycle

I wouldnt get your hopes up it depends on what CD you are just now.. it may be far too early for hcg to begin doubling as after implantation it starts to double every day. Implantation can be 6-10 days after OV.

Have a wee look over your dates again love and try work out how many days DPO you would be if you Ovd the first time and then figure out if its enough DPO for implantation to occur, if so then I would maybe then try a hpt..

Dont want to be mean but try not to get your hopes up as I got dead excited last month only to get a nice big AF and dissapointment..

Best of luck xxxxx

Thanks all and its not mean. I have had several dissappointments before! I think your right though russellmuscle! I just did a hpt and another opk. bFN but on the plus side I think this is a really late ovulation because the line is way stronger than it was last week and still stronger than it was this morning so it must be. how weird. I am now thinking i will just go for it again and see what happens if no luck we are doing the smep next month! Lol! Baby dust to all! Xx
