NEGATIVE OPK, OVULATION QUESTION? THICK BUT STRETCHY CM ?

[MotherOFSweetieD]

HI,

Last Wed I had a Hormone blood test done and a thyroid test done as well and I will not have the results until Tuesday I hate waiting. My LH and FSH is being checked since I have never had these checked before.
Last month I know I ovulated because I had CM for like 2 weeks straight it seemed like lol. This month so far I dont think I have or I missed it somehow. My LMP was April 21st which I was supposed to have started on March 23rd so I was early that was a new one on me. DH and I are still TTC and I have not had any cm at all but I when I went to the bathroom and tinkled a few minutes ago I had very thick but stretchy cm so I went and bought a pack of OPK'S and used one and it was negative. So I am confused if I am getting ready to ovulate or I have already ovulated. My cycle is normally 32 days. Thanks

oops I meant to say I was supposed to have started my period on April 23rd but AF came early on the 21st.

Well I would say that if you just started seeing CM then you could still be a few days away. Last month I had the same problem. I went to the doc for a biopsy and to my surprise he told me that I had clear cm and I needed to go home and have sex. I went home and did an opk and it was negative. I thought that I had missed it... I tested the next day and low and behold I got a positive. I tested like 3 times that day and they were all positive. I got another 3 positives the next day. You ovulate 24-36 days after you get that last positive. I hope this helps! Keep testing!

SweetieD-  Have you been keeping track of your periods?  If you sign up with fertility friend or mymonthlycycles you will be able to track your periods and once you have an average of days established it is easier to calculate when you should be ovulating.  
I had been tracking my periods so I knew that my average was 33 days and then I counted backwards from the day you get your periods 12-16 days and that should give you an average of when you should be ovulating, so then the next month you know what cd you O.  I would usually O on cd 20 to cd 22 usually 11-13 days before my period.
You do not ovulate 14 days after AF...you O 14 days before AF.  I don;t know if that makes sense to you but once you get the math correct it will be easier to day when you O and what your chances are on getting pregnant.
