Confused!

Kitty7 · 04-07-2009, 03:08 PM

Hi Everyone. My name is Kat. I am 26 yrs old and I am new to this site. My husband and I have been TTC for almost 2 years now. We have been to a fertility specialist and he could not find any definite reason as to why we can not get pregnant (which makes it all the more frustrating)! I have a question regarding OPK's and my cycle. I have always had very regular cycles (28 days) and I have NEVER experienced mid-cycle spotting until yesterday (which was day 13). I have read that this could be a sign of ovulation so this morning I tested using the Clear Blue Digital Ovulation Predictor. It was negative though. I don't know what's going on...... Any thoughts would be much appreciated!

Kitty7 - you should go to your RE to do an ultrasound. sometimes OPK is not accurate and i have prove of that. i thought i had a postive surge but when i went to get u/s, my lining was very thin and i also took a blood test and it showed that i did not ovulate yet.

could it be implanation spotting? maybe, you ovulated early?

i am also unexplained and i have been ttc for 3 yrs. i was recently diagnosed with stage 2 endometrosis but i have already had laparascopy 5 mos ago and i am still not preg.

OPKs are positive before ovulation. The bleeding could be after?

I also have had 28-day cycles near all my life. Once I bled mid cycle, but it was after taking Clomid the month before. A shift in your hormones? I don't O until CD17 or so, so CD13 would be off for me indeed.

BTW - it's been a couple weeks since your post. How'd it go? (My AF is due tomorrow.)

I'm wishing you success in the near future! (if not already ;-)
