Well, that's all good news, really! Have you had an HSG done to check if your tubes are clear? I'm not sure if that can be picked up on an ultrasound. What does your doctor recommend?

If you don't normally have EWCM, you could try using Pre-Seed.

@stilleto_mom: have you consider temping, to confirm what you'll be seeing from opks?

My periods were somewhat regular, I had no other issues other than being over 35, and DH's SA was also normal. Our infertility was classified as "unexplained." After about six months of trying naturally, we sought the help of a RE. I didn't want to try too long since I'm older. I got pregnant after one medicated IUI. Good luck!

@stiletto_mom: it's actually more common than you think to get fake surges. I get one almost every cycle! It took quite a few months of temping and using OPKs to figure out when is the "real" ovulation date. I don't know your history so I don't know if there is an underlying reason why you feel like "something" is wrong and you might need intervention. I know how discouraging it is to be on your 8th cycle with no positive and seemingly nothing wrong. But it is very common to take this long if not longer for two very healthy people to conceive! Hang in there. If you are getting a fake surge I would keep temping and taking OPKs!

Everything seemed to be fine with my DH and I and it took us 20 cycles. His SA was normal. I ovulated on my own but had an LP on the shorter side but my doctor wasn't concerned about it. My ovulation was very predictable and we never once had terrible timing. I had an HSG and started clomid after confirming my tubes were clear. We got pregnant on our third cycle post HSG, second cycle of clomid. Hang in there! Sounds like you have a good doctor. Happy BDing!

ETA: we also followed the sperm meets egg plan for half those cycles and then more loosely in the later cycles. In the end, I believe we were successful with every other day BDing but we BDed twice on O day--which was totally not planned!
