Detected my LH Surge this morning!

[michellejune]

So if I don't track temps and only use OPK's..should I log tomorrow as ovulation day?
Today is cycle day 13 for me (I typically have a 28 day cycle)

Of course we didn't BD last night :( We did on cycle day 8, 9, 11 and then we will the next 3 nights to be safe though.

Good luck to you!!!!  It's so exciting...isn't it?

Just a question to about OPK - did yours register a surge line all the time.

I did a test last night just to be curious....I only had a test line....no surge line...what does that mean?

I thought you were always suppose to see some surge line?

[michellejune]

No, I didn't always see a line. The last couple days the second line was incredibly faint but I have also seen no sign of a line at all before.
Of course I bet it depends on what brand you are using. I have been using both the Answer Strips and Clearblue easy OPK's.

I don't have egg white CM though, I have never actually since this so I'm baffled.

[deanne11]

Thanks for that feedback.

I’ve never needed these….I got pregnant 3 times last year but they all ended in m/c

I always seem to get pregnant right away but the past 2 months I haven’t used protection but didn’t really BD much either…I’ve been sick as a dog.

Anyway…just thought I’d give these a try but was shocked not to see any surge line at all (of course it was only cd8)….started to worry that the last m/c may have done something to me since I had to have a d&e….but that was in Sept.

I’m using the Clearblue ones….


I'll be saying some prayers for you!!!!  If all goes well this month for us....we could be expecting together....

[michellejune]

I bet you don't see a line for a few more days. I really only saw a faint one on CBE on day 10.
GOOD LUCK!!!!

[deanne11]

good luck jen!!!!  maybe we'll all be expecting together after this month!!!

i think we all deserve the lucky break.

Hi was told to test on day 10, depending on how long you cycle is? Mine is 29-30, so i started on day 10 and started to have an Lh surge on cd 14? I had no cm either? Notice i have that 1-2 days before period? so not sure wot that means?

[jen023]

Hi! I am getting ready to start using my opk's today. I haven't used any either but I don't know what else to try. I only have seven tests though - I'm waiting for more to come in the mail. I read somewhere not to use fmu - does anyone know when the best time is to use them each day?

[jen023]

Absolutely!! And if it works for all of us I'm gonna be beating myself up wondering why I didn't try opk's sooner! :)

Get Baby dancing girl!!!!

I've used OPK's. Last year I fell PG using them. DH and I only BD the first day of surge and so when we got BFP I assumed I must have ovulated straight away. However a scan at 14wks revealed dates to indicate I conceived 4 days after the first surge day. Unfortunately we lost the baby, but it showed me the surge is only a warning ovulation is imminent.

After trying again I luckily got my BFP again last month. I used OPK's as I have had erratic cycles since and I was surprised when I got my first surge as I had hardly any CM...... Just shows OPK's are worth using as I may have not BD when we did if I'd just used CM as an indicator. We BD for 3 days on last cycle which worked. Haven't had a scan yet, (in 2 weeks), but it will be interesting to se exactly when ovulation occured.

Good luck and keep us posted Michellejune. x
