Hi Ladies! So, this is my second cycle testing and temping and so far, I haven't been fortunate enough to see a positive OPK. I am on CD 10 and started testing on CD 5 with no luck. I use wonfos and recently Clearblue to make sure wondfos are accurate...
My cycles are between 23-25 days and last month my temps were so strange that FF didn't even predict ovulation.
I am linking my chart for this month, let me know what you think?

My Ovulation Chart
TTC our first. Married to, and madly in love with, my beautiful wife. Living with our fur baby and enjoying 19 nieces and nephews.

- Second Cycle: Unmedicated ICI w/ Donor Sperm 09/11/13, 09/13/13, 09/15/13: BFN
- Third Cycle: Unmedicated ICI w/ Donor Sperm: 10/13/13, 10/15/13, 10/17/13, 10/21/13: BFN
- January 2014: Sonohysterogram shows excellent lining & tubes have no blockages
- Fourth Cycle: Monitored clomid cycle w/ ICI's at home: 1/24/14 and 1/25/14. Ovulation verified: BFN

- Taking a few months off to evaluate if we want to keep trying
Re: What CD have you seen a positive OPK?
Anywhere from CD12 to CD 19 (19 was really late...the result of stress and a 35 day cycle). Normally, the cycle was 28-31 days.
Sometimes, early in the pregnancy process, the stress of TTC can elongate the cycle...perhaps that is happening for you and you will ovulate later than you think?
If not, it may be worth trying a third type of OPK until you find one that works with your body.
If may be worth going to an RE for a consultation. I think and I'm not an expert that a 2325 day cycle is on the short side. It could be that you don't have enough progesterone if your cycle is short after ovulation and that would interfere with implantation. Or it could indicate that your body needs some support ie drugs to ovulate on its own.
We do all of our cycle monitoring with an RE so we don't use OPKs so unfortunately I can't offer any insight on that.
Good luck!
We're queer. I'm 33, have severe stage 4 endo, and had both fallopian tubes removed. My love ("Manada" on the boards, 32) was diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve. We did Partner IVF (my eggs, her uterus). We lost our twins Tavin and Casey at 21 weeks gestation.
Our IUIs
with @Manada: IUI# 1-7 (December 2012- September 2013) all BFN. Tried natural, femara, clomid, puregon/follistim, clomid and menopur combo, both the ovidrel and HCG triggers.
Our IVFs:
IVF #1 my eggs November/December 2013: Cancelled IVF due to poor response
IVF #2 my eggs/Manada's uterus January/February 2014
BCPs and lupron overlap Stimmed: 1/22-2/2: Bravelle and Menopur (dosage ranged from B300 and M150 to B375 and M150 to B300 and M225)
2/4 retrieved 10 eggs. Endo was much worse than expected. Only 3 eggs fertilized; February 7 transferred two day 3 embryos, froze one. All great condition.
BFP eve of 6dp3dt; Beta 1 (11dp3dt): 110; Beta 2 (13dp3dt): 175; Beta 3 (15dp3dt): 348; Beta 4 (19dp3dt): 2222; Beta 5 (21dp3dt): 4255
1st ultrasound (3/6 6w 1d): TWINS!!!! Twin A measuring 6w1d with a heartbeat of 118bpm. Twin B measuring 6w0d with a heartbeat of 113bpm.
***July 18, 2014 we lost our beautiful babies at 21 weeks gestation. They were born too early. Tavin Sara T. and Casey Elizabeth T. are beautiful and precious and we will love them and miss them forever.***
FET #1 December 2014
I have a 23-25 day cycle also and would start testing almost right after I started bleeding, I would test positive very early like day 3-5 so you may be missing it. The last try where I got pregnant I started bleeding on 11.22.12 and we did the IUI on 12.3.12 so that gives you an idea of how early you can ovulate.
Have you been tracking your cervix mucus? I found that really helpful also. You just need a hand mirror, flash light, and a (man what is it called, the gyno uses it to open your vagina up). Also def use the clearblue easy it takes the guessing away form the testing strips.
Good luck!
