I have been a lurker/poster on here since last spring. I'm so confused this cycle. I haven't O'd before CD 17 any time that I have been aware of. I expected the same, or later this cycle. I rarely get a peak on the CBEFM, but have pretty good thermal shifts so I decided to start using an OPK in the afternoon as well. I thought that starting to BD on CD14 would give me plenty of time, but my temps are screwy. We started to BD as soon as I hit high on the monitor. I think that I may have already O'd, and I missed my chances this month.

My OPK on CD14 was dark, but not a solid line. CD15 looks neg to me, and today's I'm not sure, I think it's neg as well. Shouldn't I have two days of + in a row? Do any of these look positive? I'd really appreciate it if anyone could take a look and tell me what they think. I'm having my typical pre-O twinges, yesterday and today. I know that there are a lot of experts out there. Thanks in advance.

I don't know how helpful I am (on my 2nd month of TTC, first month with OPKs which are kind of sucking my will to live so far), but thought I'd respond.

To me, it looks like all 3 of your OPKs are negative. If it was me, I think I'd rely more on your CBEFM reading and typical pre-O twinges and whatnot, though. It seems to me that the OPKs rely so heavily on the time that you POAS, that it's relatively easy to miss that peak reading that would give you a positive. Or at least that's what I'm telling myself since I'm in a kind of similar boat as you ;-)

Good luck!

Thanks for that. I was using the monitor with FMU then the OPK's in the afternoon, hoping I would catch a surge of some kind. I know what you mean about sucking your will to live...this just takes about everything out of me. I've tried everything, OV Watch, saliva microscope, monitor, OPKs, etc and I never get consistent results. If I get a peak on the monitor then it doesn't match up with my temps. Why does it have to be so hard :) Best of luck you, thanks again.
