+OPK Again?

jamilynn9

So, I had gotten 6 days of +OPK's earlier this cycle, but no temperature shift.  I attributed it to stress.  Now, I got another + after days of -.  I know it could be PCOS, but has anyone not diagnosed experienced this or anyone heard of it?  When I researched stress leading to skipping ovulation, it said your body may try again, but it is pretty late in my cycle.  I'm normally 28-30 days (even post d&c).

I am on day four of +OPKs. From what I have read, it may be that your 6 days of +OPKs are from catching the LH surge on the way up and the way down. Sometimes if your egg is having a hard time being released, you will have a longer LH surge. Your body may even try to release another egg.

I am hoping for the both of us that it's fine and we get pregnant this month!!!

Yeah, I read up on that too.  The +'s were decently far away though.  I hope it's my body trying again.  I agree; I hope it's our month too.

It makes sense that your body might try to O again... good luck!

Your body will probably keep trying until it succeeds.  My last cycle was longer than normal too, and I had three +OPKs spaced out over a week or so (check out my chart, if you want to see). It was SO frustrating, but I attribute it to bar exam stress.  ;-)  Maybe your body is still recovering hormonally from the pregnancy/D&C?

ETA:  Regardless, I hope this is your cycle too!!!! :-)

I had a funky cycle with this, too.  Lots of +OPKs, and it sometimes skipped between - and + on consecutive days.  I think I tested for 9 days in a row.  I finally ran out of tests and decided (hoped) the last + was THE + to work with (although there was a sufficient level of BDing throughout the 9 days, too).  We'll see a week from tomorrow (or so)...

GL!

Wow your cycle looks very similar to mine (sans the 6 day +OPK streak).  I think it was stress to conceive but my hormones are totally out of what (the major breakout on my face agrees) so I can't count them out.

That is crazy!  Yeah, my hormones are still totally wacky too.  I still keep getting horrible breakouts on my face, just like when I was pregnant... I've never had bad skin until all of this.  :-(  

Hopefully your hormones will chill out a bit so you can O and get pregnant again!  I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!!!!

Thanks!  Yeah, my breakouts are new since pregnancy too.  My skin is just starting to clear up I think.  Nothing new in the past 4 days, yay!  I haven't O'd yet, but finally stablizing temps....hopefully today!

luckymrs.

Ugh, me too.  I have three HUGE zits on my face right now--just in time for SIL's wedding this weekend (festivities start tomorrow night).  I'm trying to coax the swelling down with ice, but so far no luck.  Beautiful.  I just keep thinking, "at least I'm not the bride!"
