Ovulation confusing. Help?!

[Charlie813]

Hi

I usually have a 33-35 day cycle with the odd 28 or 40 day one here and there.

I use apps to try and track ovulation and have had intercourse so many times in the fertility window and not conceived.

I used OPK’s this month, checked my cervix position and cervical mucus.

I started getting egg white cm days 13 and 14 of my cycle. Then went dry and sticky on days 15&16. Then 17, 18, 19, 20 I had a lot of egg white mucus again. My cervix was soft and open on cycle day 20 and 21.

I had negative OPK’s and ALMOST a positive on cycle day 20 at 8pm (had intercourse this night). Then cycle day 21 at 10am, 4.30pm and 10pm very negative OPK’s and dry cervical mucus (but cervix was still open). Today is cycle day 22 and I have lotion like cervical mucus. And negative OPK’s.

I have had a lot of one sided ovulation pain. Especially on the 20th and yesterday. Today my breasts are tender which usually happens after ovulation.

Can anyone help me work out if I’ve ovulated, even without a positive OPK. I’m so confused about my cycle.

I’ve attached the picture of my OPK’s and two of my cervical mucus. (Cycle days 17&18)

Hi, it may be that you missed the actual
surge on an opk but the one in the 15th looks very close to being as dark as the control line so you may have ovulated 12-36 hours after that. Do you temp? I’m not sure on cervical positioning sorry.
Fingers crossed you get your BFP x

I do *try* to temp. But I don’t do it often enough throughout my cycle. I did a few days during the fertile window at the same time each morning. Then this morning 2hrs after I usually would (needed a sleep in). So I’m not sure I can go on that.

Thank you so much for replying. I appreciate it and I hope you’re right about my surge just being a bit later.

Your welcome Hun.
it’s hard to confirm ov through temps if not doing it regularly but I get it’s hard. I did it for a while to confirm I did actually ovulate but it was too much hassle so stopped testing.
Fingers crossed you caught the egg x

This morning I did take my temp and it was .8 higher than it was when I definitely wasn’t ovulating. I hope that’s a good sign! I’m going to get a proper BTT thermometer today to try and track it properly.
