when did I O according to OPK ... pls tell me if I am right

Okay here it goes.  OPK on the weekends are light and then Monday and Tuesday night they are darker but not darker than the control line.  Then last night.  Wednesday, the intensity is like the ones I have been getting over the weekends, "lighter"  I BD'd just like what you all advised me. So When did I exacly ovulate? I will find out tomorrow if I did Ovulate with a blood test at CD21.  I just want to know how many DPO's I am if the test tomorrow confirms I ovulated....  I hope I did.  

If I did I may be like 3DPO today? Monday and Tuesday are the darker lines I got then back to light on wednesday night

PS: I always test at 6PM and 8PM

Maybe Sunday?  How many times a day do you test?  I have to test at least twice a day, my LH surge is less than 12 hours, so if you only test once a day you might have not gotten to see the line.

I do tests at 6PM and 8PM.  hmmm I should have tested around 2 or 3PM too.  

[alikat1205]

I test at 10 a.m. and 6 p.m.  Sometimes I add 2 p.m.   Last month I got my surge on the 10 a.m. test.  By 6 it was gone.

why do you guys test so many times a day?
My doctor told me to test every morning and that's it. As soon as I get a positive OPK I call them and they set up my IUI for the following day?

[alikat1205]

Your surge should be detectable and once a day sufficient.  My surge is really short though, so I know I can miss it.  Usually a surge lasts at least 24 hours so you would catch it with once a day testing.  I know that doesn't work for me.

Oh I see. I was worried I wasn't doing something right.

so this means it could have happened on a sunday, as alikat have mentioned.  hmmmm.  Okay that means if blood test tomorrow shows higher progesterone level.  It will be 4 days after ovulation today.   I just hope it will confirm ovulation tomorrow, but I won't know till monday or tuesday.... darn it.  more to wait.  But I am ready for any result .. I guess it's fine. It will happen when meant to happen right?

[tea_berries]

how are you doing?

[alikat1205]

keep testing though because i have had cycles like what you described with O seemingly coming out of nowhere just a few days later.

[tea_berries]

I will keep doing that.  Although last night I got a lighter line already, meaning it's almost over?  But you never know huh? it's tricky all of it.  Better be safe than never.  I will continue till I get the results from my nurse
