  are you peeing at least twice a day to ensure you capture your fertile window? some women have a very short O window and your peak could be missed if you only test once a day. also, are you making sure to hold fluids for a few hours before peeing? dilute urine can mess up the result. as long as your CM hasn't dried up you prob haven't O'd yet. just my thoughts.

  Me: 36, DH: 36

  DH's SA = normal

  1 tube only wonder

  AFC 3-5, AMH 0.30

  
  

  BFP #1 3/29/11.  EDD 12/4/11... Missed m/c 5/9/11. Cytotec fail. D&C 5/17/11.

  BFP #2   7/5/11.  EDD 3/14/12... Our rainbow Kellen born 3/14/12 via c/s.

  BFP #3 5/30/13.  EDD 2/8/14...  6wk u/s HB 126. 8wk u/s lost HB. D&C 7/12/13.

  BFP #4 2/18/14.  EDD 10/30/14... Ruptured ectopic with L tube removed & D&C 3/7/14.

  BFP #5 7/27/14.  EDD 4/9/15...  m/c @ 5w4d.

  
  

  IVF #1    Oct 2014 - antagonist protocol: 9R, 7M, 5F. 3dt of 3 Grade 2 embies. BFN. 

  IVF #2    Jan 2015 cancelled due to dominant follicle.  Converted to IUI #1. BFFN

  IVF #2.1 March 2015 cancelled due to dominant follicle.
  
  

  BFP #6  (SUPRISE!) 3/19/15.  EDD 11/30/15...  CP at 4w2d.

  IUI #2:    Clomid + Follistim = 3 follies. BFN.

  IVF #2.2 May 2015 - horrible response to micro lupron flare protocol: 3R, 3M, 3F. 3dt of 2 Grade 3 embies. BFFN. 

  
  BFP #7 (beyond surprised again!) 4/26/16. EDD 1/5/17. beautiful betas!!!! and then near-fatal hemorrhagic corpus luteum. turns out baby was ectopic after all; another lap 5/6 (@24dpo).
  
  the universe can fuck off.

  I never found OPKs to work for me.  Temping and CM were my best indicators.

  Dx: Me: Recurrent Pregnancy Loss; DH: Low Morphology (2%)
  BFP#1: MC 3/1/11 at 6w1d - EDD 10/21/11

  BFP#2: 5/3/11 - EDD 1/9/12 - DD Born 1/6/12
  

  
  

  TTC #2 since 12/13
  BFP#3: MC 2/8/14 at 4w5d - EDD 10/13/14

  BFP#4: MC 5/6/14 at 4w4d - EDD 1/9/15

  BFP#5: MMC discovered 8/4/14 at 9w1d - D&C 8/5/14 - Baby Boy with Trisomy 16 (maternal origin) - EDD 3/8/15

  IVF #1 with ICSI & PGS: May/June 2015, ER 6/3/15, 17R/17M/15F
  IVF #2 with ICSI & PGS: July 2015, ER 7/16/15, 16R/11M/9F
  PGS results = 6 normal embryos (4 boys, 2 girls)

  OPKs have never worked for me either.  I would agree with @jodee37 about diluted urine and that maybe you are ovulating later this cycle. I always had good luck with the Clear Blue Easy Fertility monitor when I used it during my first 2 TI cycles with clomid because it was so easy.  I ended up never getting a positive ovulation though and had to be triggered.  Goodluck!! 

  ~~ All Welcome~~

  ME: 32, SER aggregates on eggs, anovulatory

  DH:  33, 2% morphology

  TTC #1 

  2 clomid cycles, 3 hybrid clomid/bravelle IUI's = 4 BFN/1 CP@ 5.5 weeks

  IUI #6 -Follitism IUI cycle converted to IVF and back to IUI-4 mature, 3 maybe mature = BFP!!   DS Born 9/2014

  TTC#2 

  IVF #1 9/15 Antagonist- 19 R 1F (Frozen day 1 @ 2PN stage) Diagnosed with SER aggregates in 13/19 eggs after failed fertilization

  IVF #2 11/15 Antagonist w/ICSI  (Higher stims & Letrosole added last minute on stim day 7)- 39R, 24M (20/24 SER free), 15F (14/15 SER free & all frozen @ 2PN stage) 

  FET#1 Cultured all 16- 2pn embryos to day 5- transferred 1 good hatching blast and 1 early blast on 1/28- None to freeze - beta 2/5

  I can't tell from your siggie if you have a secondary infertility diagnosis, if you don't,  this type of questions is much better over at TTTC (trouble trying to conceive) or TTTAS (trying to conceive a second).  

  
  

  Best of luck.

  
  

  
  

  
  

  

  
  

  My FF Chart:

  http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/490dd7
  TTC #3 since June 2013
  BFP #1 7/21/2013--EDD 3/30/14--D&C 9/24/13
  BFP #2 1/28/14--MC 2/7/14
  IUI #1 5mg Femara + trigger = BFN
  IUI #2 5mg Femara + trigger = BFN
  IUI #3 5mg Femara + trigger = BFN

  IVF #1, Stimmed for 12 days, ER 8/22/14, 9 retrieved, 7M, 7F!!  Freeze all due to fluid in uterus.

  FET end of October 2014 cancelled due to fluid in uterus due to possible c-scar defect

  Surgery scheduled 12/12/14 to fix possible isthmocele

  3/26/15 transferred one 8 cell grade 4 embryo and one 6 cell grade 3 embryo = slow rising betas for 2+ weeks = ectopic MTX shot 4/29/15

  Repeat c-scar surgery June 2015

  2nd and last IVF cycle August 2015, stimmed for 12 days, 2 egg retrieved, both mature and both fertilized.  Transferred both 8-cell embryos on Day 3, beta 9/5/15 = BFFN

  MOVING TO ADOPTION!

  I had Clearblue Digital OPKs that I planned on using alongside temping and charting when we first started TTC. It was a "2 month supply" for $50.

  
  

  Unfortunately, I have PCOS, my temps are all over the place and I have periods without ovulating. Even still, I picked up the LH surge for 3 days, sometimes peeing twice a day, sometimes just once in the morning. We BD every other day leading up to that and every day when I got a positive.

  
  

  ....Obviously still no baby.

  
  

  OPKs are an ok tool to use if you're also charting/temping but they don't confirm ovulation, just the presence of the hormone released before ovulation.
