Question, opinions on chart and OPK

KatieInOhio · 02-20-2006, 11:08 AM

I didn't start out this cycle seriously ttc, so I started OPK's late. The first one I did, I initially thought was neg. I've attached a scan of the first opk I did. Then test line was the same width but not as dark. So I thought neg. Then the ones I did the days after it were even lighter and not as thick as the control line. Definitly neg. Now with my erractic temps http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/c8b1 I'm wondering if I O'd at all. FF still shows O on my chart, partly b/c I put a pos opk on CD 26. I'm now what we would say is 8dpo. But confused. What do you think?

That pic is small. If I click on it I can see it larger, can you? If not please tell me and I'll enlarge it.

Hi Katie: What a confusing cycle! It's hard to see clearly (it did enlarge when I clicked though), but it looks to me like the line on the right is a little darker than the one on the left. It doesn't look ++ but it looks close and I might say more definitively if I could see it in person.

As for your temps, you have that rise and 4 days of sustained temps, but then you have that big temp drop and 2 other temps at or under your coverline. If you did O, I think FF has the date right. I just can't understand these low post-O temps....

Can you get a prog. test? Your prog. level will tell you for sure whether you did O this month.

If not, I guess I would go by FF for now, but if AF hasn't come by 14 dpo, I would take an HPT and if that's negative, I would talk to your doctor about trying to jump-start your cycle.

But let's hope it doesn't come to that! Definitely keep temping and maybe your temps will stay up in an unambiguous way from here on out!

++++++++++++++++good luck and keep us posted
