Ovulation question

Good choice! We call ours Bella too -or Minnie.... don't ask! LOL!

Annabella Rose is beautiful! I want a Chloe or a Macy next time..... or even better a Blake or a Jackson! :)

My cycles were 36 days.  The month I got pg it was 39.  I was supposed to get a pos OPK on CD 18, didn't get it til CD 21 and by that time I thought all hope was lost, low and behold that was our lucky month.  My cycles had always been 36 days before that month.  Sometimes things are just screwie.  I would keep testing for a couple more days!

Ok :) I will keep testing and officially wait until Sunday before freaking out and looking for clomid on the black market! LOL! Just kidding.... kinda.... :)

I don't want to bug my RE just yet as I know we can get preggo on our own - it happened twice last year!

I wish I had an answer for you, but I don't!  Can I ask a question though?  If you do get a positive OPK, does that definitely mean you ovulated?  Is there any way to get the LH surge, but then have no egg released?  Just curious.....

Hhhhhmmmm I don't know? Anyone else?

A positive OPK doesn't indicate ovulation, only an LH surge, which means that ovulation is likely (but not guaranteed) to occur within (usually) 12-36 hours.  So yes, you can have the surge with no ovulation.  Some who also chart temps keep POAS until they see their temps do the right thing - which I have no idea what it is as I don't chart temps :)

HTH!

I tested twice a day, once in the morning and once at night. I got my surge the evening of Day 14. We were doing IUI so we went in the next day. I think that the twice a day is helpful because sometimes you can miss the surge if you test really early, or you may get the back end of one and time things too late. Just a few thoughts.

I agree - I am going to do two a day - I hoping tomorrow is my day :)
