OPK experience-

[Violet Star]

I have used OPKs since my second cycle charting. And just when you think youve got the hang of it all.............
This cycle
FRom CD7 to CD20 i have watery CM (Enough to wear a liner)
EWCM CD15, CD16 CD17
CD14 ive had a huge temp rise when ill.

Now to the OPK part, i have used Ovunow with success and have been getting the barely there lines since about CD12/13.
I have used ovunow with pregnois last month to double check what was happening and they both returned the same results.
This month i used confirm which ive never used before, I now have dark + OPKS on cd20 when i tested in the night, i didnt reduce water intake. I tested again this morning not with FMU, but as close as I could to 8am, fluid intake reduced by only 1/2 an hour so on CD21- but the ovunow only gave the barely there line.
I dont have any more confirm tests to use.

Has anyone else experiences anything like this? What the heck is going on with my body. My temps are not giving me much indication either

YUP! Remember, each brand is different hon and could give different results. I would take any positive as a positive, lasoo (sp?) DH and get BDing! I think from memory that it is possible to O twice in a cycle - i think it happened to Sara H in 1-6 mth thread when I was there........

Keep us posted!

Thanks sweetie!

It's relatively rare to o twice in a cycle and IF it does happen, it normally happens within 48 hours.

It's more likely in most cases that the body shows all the signs of leading up to O but stops short of popping the egg for whatever reason.

For myself, I have NEVER and I mean NEVER EVER seen a second line on an Ovunow OPK.

This cycle, I have been using Lullaby Conceptions OPKs and am really happy with the results.

Thanks Lisa,
Ive read that you havnt been successful using Ovunow OPK in a few other posts. Ive been using the same batch now so its not like ive changed and they are not faulty as far as I know. I still have a fair few to go through before buying some differnet ones.
Thats why ive been using different brands when i want to check when i think im getting closer to Oing.

If it's any consolation, my temps are whacky this month too. And funnily enough I was chatting with some other women yesterday and their cycles are all over the place as well.

Can't help but wonder if it coincides with global warming or something like that. The weather bureau said that it is now official that Tassie has just had its dryest winter for 100 years.

Its the driest month (maybe winter) we have had here since 1914 i heard somewhere lately. Hopefully its just that. I know having some bouts of illness havnt helped. I have now taken all + opks off my chart and just have them written down. Is it possiable to have a + OPK and have no CM at all ?

It was interesting reading about the egg not wanting to pop. I think that seems to make sense for my body. It gets ready, then doesnt then i O afterwards.

[Mumintaz]

Anything is possible!! Sometimes the only way I can check CM is when I'm checking CP.

That's another reason why when you're ttc, the only true indicator of o is a thermal shift. Your secondary symptoms are just that, secondary symptoms. And this includes CM, CP and OPK's or monitors... They don't tell the true story ALL the time. Sometimes they're textbook, other times not. Your temperatures never let you down and you can't fake them and they aren't open to interpretation...they are what they are.
