I am hoping o'ing early has been what had us hung up before, I mean that's obviously best case scenario! We recently moved states so either way Nov is find a new OBGYN month and if its BFN then ill be charting too. FX! Thanks for all the insight!!! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-ovulate-ers#post-374046 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 22:43:37 +0000 Grace 374046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@KJfromNJ: I assume you cycle is quite regular right now? That's supposed to be a good sign. Plus, look at it this way - if you are Oing early, you just might have not been timing things well and now that you know, you might not have to go through many serious cycles! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-ovulate-ers#post-374042 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 22:40:30 +0000 kjpugs 374042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Grace: dust = just. Stupid iPhone! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-ovulate-ers#post-374039 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 22:39:46 +0000 kjpugs 374039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Grace: option 1 was not depressing! I guess I just thought positive opk meant ovulation an dust realize options 2 and 3 above could happen. If this cycle doesn't work out ill definitely be charting next cycle. Womppp. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-ovulate-ers#post-374035 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 22:37:10 +0000 Grace 374035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@KJfromNJ: Lol - why depressing? Does it mean that it wasn't timed properly? You can still get pregnant if you ovulate early. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-ovulate-ers#post-374031 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 22:33:41 +0000 kjpugs 374031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Grace: thanks for the reply! Although its more depressing than anything lol. The opk was digital so no lines, just a smiley face. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-ovulate-ers#post-374002 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 22:19:12 +0000 Grace 374002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@KJfromNJ: I have three theories: </p> <p>1). It's possible that you are having an oddball short cycle this time. Perhaps you will get AF on Nov 7 (give or take a few days), because this time you happened to ovulate earlier than normal (ovulation day can change cycle to cycle, but usually the TWW is 12-16 days). </p> <p>2) A positive OPK doesn't necessarily mean ovulation. Your body can gear up to ovulate (giving a pos OPK) and then not ovulate. The only easy way to know for sure if you've ovulated is to be taking your basal body temp (it goes up after ovulation).</p> <p>3) I have heard that people with PCOS can have high LH all the time which gives a positive on the OPK (and ovulation doesn't happen).</p> <p>Geesh, that was long. But I just thought of another one. When you tested was your positive line as dark or darker than the control line? Often I have a light line a few days before ovulation but doesn't get dark enough to be positive until a few days later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-ovulate-ers#post-373904 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 21:48:08 +0000 kjpugs 373904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cupcake: That's awesome! Glad it worked out for you ;-) And good to know it happens... everyone I talk to ov's more like cd12-ish or later! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-ovulate-ers#post-373884 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 21:42:49 +0000 Cupcake 373884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ovulated early the month I got pregnant! I thought for sure I was ovulating late because my cycles had been around 40days. I started using the opks, and got 7 negative from cd11 through cd18. I thought for sure I wasn't ovulating. But I had ovulated early! I waited to test until af was 1 week late(cd 36), knowing for sure I wasn't pregnant... Little did I know! I wish I had advice for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-ovulate-ers#post-373785 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 21:15:02 +0000 kjpugs 373785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hey everyone! TTC here, first serious cycle, a lot of NTNT and slacker "tries" months prior.</p> <p>I have PCOS and wasn't sure if I was even ovulating. I recently lost a significant amount of weight so I hoped that will help. This cycle I got ovulation tests to be more accurate. PD1 was 10/16. I did my first ov test on PD 6 aka Sun (last day of AF) and it was neg. I forgot to do the ov test on Mon 10/22 and in the morning on 10/23. I remembered and did it that evening- and it was a positive! I wasn't expecting to ov until the 27th-ish, if at all.</p> <p>I have heard obviously of the TWW before testing but obviously the best "sign" is missing your period. TWW should be about 11/6 (I plan to test 11/7 because I'm going out of town that night for a few days) but then don't expect my period until around 11/12, which would mean longer than a TWW until my period comes- almost 3 weeks!</p> <p>This is messing with my mind. Not to mention my abdomen feels VERY weird today. Not pain, just a weird feeling, almost like cramps but much fainter. But my period is pretty reliable so I don't think it's AF coming 10 days early or anything. I took a cheapo test I had laying around but didn't realize until AFTER it's not a early detection one. It was, of course, a BFN.</p> <p>When should I be expecting to test accurately? Do I truly have to wait til 20DPO? Anyone else an early ovulate-er? </p>
