OPK's
So for those of you ladies currently using these or have ever used one I need some advice. This is the first month I am using them and I have no clue if I am doing it right. Based on the instructions that came with it and my cycle it says to start testing last Friday. Well I forgot and I started testing on Saturday. Since then no positives could it be that Friday would have been positive or could it just be that I didn't ovulate this month? Or am I just over reacting and some what jumping the gun since it has only been 5 days?
Any advice would be great here. AF is due to arrive Dec 9 if that helps with the time line any. I am getting really confused with all these dates and just would like a little more assurance on this.
TIA ladies!
Re: OPK's
I have no idea what an OPK even is, so I'm with you =]
Hahahah me either! And I'm pregnant. I feel like I should know about this...
yeah, your current CD and your typical cycle length would help pinpoint when you should start using them. I'm similar to Kushie and O later (around CD 17). I would probably start testing around CD 12-14 unless I had other symptoms of O like fertile CM, then I would start testing earlier.
once you start peeing on sticks it can become addicting! lol

Cycles are usually 32 days in length. This cycle started on Nov 8. I started the OPK on CD 17 since I actually missed day 16 but the paperwork says to start on CD 16.
Should I just continue until I get to AF then try earlier next month?

I have tons of sticks since I got a kit from amazon. And I am temping and according to my charts the spike was on CD 17 which was when I started testing. I guess if this continues next month then when I go to my yearly check up in Jan I can mention this to the dr.
the spike comes after O and the OPK won't be positive then, it's only positive right before you O.
do you have a link to your chart?

I agree, You may have missed your surge on the opk but I would keep poas until I got coverline. Do you have a link to your chart?

Also, FF can only tell you the predicted O date. If it says your O date is tomorrow, then it's pretty much just an educated guess based on your previous cycles. At this point I would just do like we've recommended and keep peeing on sticks until they show a positive, or FF gives you cross-hairs showing you've already O'd based on your temps.

There's a chart in TCOYF that I meant to bring to work today and scan and post for you. It's a graph of the hormones involved and their levels during your cycle, it's pretty neat. (But I like graphs, so I'm into that sort of thing)
