I have been off the pill for 5 months after having been on it for 15 years. I am having a regular period, but according to OPK sticks, I am not ovulation....can you be regular and not ovulate and if so, how do I kick ovulation into gear?
Thanks for any words of wisdom!

Re: ovualtion issue!
Some people ovulate and never get a +opk. It's very easy to miss your LH surge. Try testing at least twice a day. I always did first morning urine and the suggested time of 2-4pm. Even if it was + 2 mornings in a row I have never ever gotten a + in the afternoons.
Also, look into charting your temps. It really is the only possible way to confirm ovulation at home. Check out fertilityfriend.com and do their tutorials to learn how to chart properly.

OPKs are not for everyone.
I O'd every cycle (thanks to charting my temps). However, I tried OPKs for 5 straight months and never got a positive. I finally got a positive on the 6th month and then I quit them altogether. I believe I just had a short surge and missed it a lot.
