Calling all OPK addicts and POAS Queens. Advice needed on OPKs. Pictures to study!

[Pipbin]

I normally OV on CD18 - 20. A few months ago I had a false start on OPKs showing that I was about to OV but they never got dark enough. I also chart and use a CBFM. The CBFM was fooled by the false start and gave me a peak. However my chart showed that I hadn't OV'd until a week later.

I am currently on CD12, the last two days on the CBFM I have had lows, this morning I had a high.

But, here is the reason for my question, I took my CBFM reading at about 8 and then went back to bed. When I got up again about 30 minutes later I did an OPK, and got in the shower while it did it's thing. When I got out of the shower there was a very dark line. The line looked odd though so I decided to do another OPK with a different sample. This also had a dark line.

I went out, and came back in about 12pm when I did another one. This was post two cups of tea so was not a super strong sample.
Again, another dark line came up really quickly.
Also, I have had stacks of EWCM.

Please look at the pictures ladies, by clicking my name, and see what you think. Are they positive OPKs?

Definately +ive OPKs, plus the EWCM, get shagging.

I would agree, but this is only CD 12 and I've never OV'd before CD 18 before.
However I did have an HSG last cycle. Could this have made a difference?

Old charts here for chart stalking too:

Could be a repeat of april and may where EWCM started earlier. I'm not sure if the hsg would affect your cycle or not.
I'd be more inclined to go with the stacks of EWCM and the LH surge detected; meaning due to Ov soon dtd eod to cover all bases as it were, and keep tracking bbt in case Ov is delayed.

I normally get a little bit of EWCM early on, but today there was stacks of it. Much more than I would normally get this early.

Shameless bump.

Don't question it. Just go for it!

Get on with it. Having sex now doen't prevent you doing so again if you get igns of ov once more in a week!
And i ovulated on CD 13 last month - normally it is cd15-17. You do get the odd strange cycle!

This is true. I should just damn well get on with it I guess.

What you doing on here? Get bonking!!

Well today I had a peak on the CBFM and a super positive opk.

Got to get DH to do the business now.

Hey Pipbin, I use that brand of OPK and that is what my positives look like (confirmed by a temp rise a day later) on CD18 and 19 this month

However, I have been testing OPKs every day since end of AF this cycle and noticed that I also got a line on CD8 this cycle. I read somewhere that you can have several LH surges before your body builds up enough to prompt ovulation, so I wonder if that was it.

I would def treat it as ovulation if I were you though and put your DP on Sex Alert.

PS Pipbin your cycles look almost identical to mine, including the spotting.

Interesting stuff Quodi I had a temp rise this morning so I'm guessing that I may well have ov'd a whole week early.

Spotting sucks doesn't it.

Yup it does. My GP had a peer and decided it was due to cervical erosion but I'm not totally reassured by that, especially coupled with other cycle oddities.

This is the first cycle I've had since settling down after the pill that has been odd.
I've always had spotting though. Doctors don't seem worried but I'm not sure I agree.

We fertility friend seems to confirm that I have ov'd a week early!

Look on the bright side - kind of 1 week less of 2ww?

This is kind of true. I find the waiting to ov more annoying than the tww

I agree pipbin, and good luck for this month :)

Thanks Cream. Seems like I'm spotting a bit already though.....
