OPK & Chart stalk...**update**

SMann814

I am so confused with this cycle. I was thinking based on the big drop in BBT (+EWCM) and the rise the past few days that I had ovulated on CD16 even though I didn't get a +OPK (just figured I missed the surge). So I stopped doing my OPKs on CD 16.

On a whim today at lunch time I decided to do another OPK because I had a temp drop this morning and I have been having a fullness/pressure feeling for the past 48hrs. While the test was doing its magic I checked for CM and its EWCM again.  

Is it normal to have a temp drop before O that is more of a change than an O temp drop? 

What do you think about the OPK....is it dark enough to be a + result? How about my chart?

This is my first cycle fulling charting and following all the 'to-dos' (green tea, Preseed, BD position, etc) prior to the big O.

What should my plan of 'attack' from here be to increase my chances? Already got plans to BD when DH gets home later this afternoon!

Appreciate any suggestions/advice you ladies have!

TIA

ETA: I normally temp at 5:45am and on CD 16 I woke up at 4am and decided to temp then (36.3)...when I woke again at 6am I temped again and it was 36.4

**Update** was down at the drug store and generic OPKs were on sale so I tested again...test window on left

Doesn't look (+) to me.  The control line appears darker than the read line.  As far as suggestions, I will be watching this as I had a (+) OPK yesterday and (-) for 2 days before and had a temp raise and now a drop and my CM went from EW to watery now creamy.

If the line on the left is the control line, then no it is not a +.  Based on temp drop, O could be today, but only your temps over the next few days will tell.

That's definitely a negative test. When I get my positive, my lines are like yours but switched - the DARKEST line is the test line, and the control line is slightly lighter.

ETA Your new test definitely looks darker & a positive to me. I bet if you kept using ICs in the next day, it would go positive too. (Different sensitivities on different brands)

still thinking (-) hun.  the test window isn't as dark as the control window and that's what you're looking for.  OPKs aren't like HPTs in that way.  Keep testing and hump it out...

OK I think I misread, if the control window is the right, then I say (+) as well.  I apologize for the confusion on that one.  I am so used to seeing "control" window not "test" window I misinterpreted.
