Am I ovulating?

I have always had regular periods, which I assumed was a good sign for TTC.

But I've just done a OPK (almost) every morning for a month, without a sniff of a positive.

Is this a sign that I'm not ovulating? Or should I be reassured by regular periods?

(I'm worried I'm over thinking this...)

I've never had a positive ovulation test either.
I don't think they work for me.

Keep an eye on your CM.

I think you are supposed to do opks in the afternoon, between 2 and 10, I've never tried branded ones though (not sure what you're using as I think clear blue you do use in the morning). I have a fairly short lh surge so needed to do a couple a day when they were close to positive.

Oh that's good to hear, thank you.

Currently using Boots own brand, which I bought to reassure myself, but really isn't helping!

Try not to worry. Like the pp suggested, try monitoring your cervical mucus too, raw egg White is the most fertile. Good luck :)

@Bayleyf I tried Boots own brand OPKs over a 6 month period and didn't get a single positive. I started using Clear Blue ones after my first miscarriage last year July and have had positives every month. Maybe try those ones, I use the once that shows low, high (flashing smiley) and peak (static smiley) fertility. Good luck!

If you have a short surge it can be easy to miss - are you testing twice a day mid cycle?
I use cheap ones from Amazon and normally get a positive (or close to it) in the evening, mine can be stark white the day before and after instead of the gradual fade in you see some people have on here.
