Help me understand my OPK?

Before I started taking the pill in my early 20s, my cycle used to be much longer--around 35 days. When I came off the pill at age 31, I was suprised to find that my cycles are now shorter, my periods are much lighter and shorter, and I have substantially less period pains!

Hi, I use the ovulation prediction kits and temp too. I find that the test line goes pretty close to the control line but not quite the same (when it does this i know i will ovulate in about 24 - 48hrs) My temp usually starts to spike 12 - 24hrs after the test line elevates so i am assuming that if you are the same as me that you would ovulate the day after the test line elevates. Maybe as soon as you start to see a rise in your test line start having sex every other day and hopefully you will have some success? I may be wrong though so maybe you should see a fertility specialist or your GP. It can be sooo frustrating hey!!! I hope you get the result you are hoping for very soon!! Good luck. xx
