OPK = Frustrated!!
Hey
Im on CD 17 today and for the last couple of days have been having twinges/cramps & EWCM. If these are all signs that im ovulating or ovulation is imminent then why I am still getting negative OPK????
I wasnt really going to bother with OPK as i didnt last time round and fell with my DD on cycle 2.
This time I thought id buy some just to help me suss out what my cycles are doing as this is my first month being off the pill. I sometimes wish i hadnt as this is all so frustrating!!!!!!
I promised myself that I would not become obsessed

I have been testing around midday. Yesterday I did one lst night at about 9pm aswell. The line on todays one was slightly darker than yesterdays but obviously still negative.
Im still new to these OPK's, I swore i would never use them and just let nature decide as i did before.
Before ttc my DD i had been on the pill for 12 yrs solid. Came off it and had my 1st AF 42days later, 36 days after that i got my bfp. I never tracked anything, just BD when we felt like it and bingo.
Lots of my friends have said its taken them alot longer when ttc #2 than it did their 1st. Another reason i thoought id use opks
I certainly have EWCM so have been BD.
I get 20 opks for ??2.99 from a seller on ebay. They are the NHS (CE) ones.
Congrats on your pregnancy, xxx
I have experienced exactly the same thing this cycle and Ive been off the pill for over a year and ttc for 11 months. Ive been using CBFM for about 8months and had highs and peaks every month. This month decided to put CBFM away and take it easy but panicked and bought boots own OPK's, had all the signs of OV but -ve on OPK's.
As of tommorrow i will test twice daily at 10am &10pm to see if it makes any difference.
Like you say it could very well of happened already and i missed it as ive only been testing every 24 hrs.
Thanks.x
