Update: day 20. I finally got a flashing smiley on the First Response ovulation test (and have for two days, and when I pulled out the test, it had only one control line darkened. Anyone have this issue with these tests?
Well, I know I need to see check cervical mucus and do a BBT every day after this month. Usually, I get a big fat positive on the digital OPKs, but this month has been weird. I'm CD 16 and usually ovulate on days 15-17. Starting on day 12, I started OPKs and never got a positive result. In fact, when I look at the test itself, I see two faint lines. We had sex on day 14, and today, when I tested, I had no faint line at all. It's like it is disappearing. Anyone have this experience? Did I miss it? Or maybe I am going to get a positive test tomorrow or Saturday. If not, I think this month was a wash:(
My O day varies by a full week. And before I TTC I thought I was very regular. Keep going with the OPKs, and keep HIO until you know for sure.
And if it's not your month temping will definitely help clear things up next time. OPKs tell you when you might be about to ovulate. Temps tell you when you DID.
Cycles change. Sometimes ovulation can change. I wouldn't assume the cycle is a wash because you ovulate a few days later than normal. Just hump it out until you get your period or a bfp.
Sometimes you can also never get a positive OPK but still ovulate. It just depends. When are you testing with OPKs? Is the same time? Does the rest require a certain urine?(FMU or SMU) Like you said next cycle if this one doesn't work try CM or BBT
I've been doing it in the afternoon since it doesn't say FMU, but that is a good point! Thank you!

Good to know I'm not the only one who varies so much! Thank you for your tips:)

You're over thinking this. You said you ovulate cd15-17, but you're only cd16. There's still time to be close to your average. And sometimes cycles are just weird. Keep testing and give it time.
