It wasn't PreSeed, for one thing it doesn't get that stringy and for another it would have been long gone. That's good news, I'm no CM expert but it sounds like it was fertile.

However, it is possible for your LH to surge and dissipate in less time than that, so testing only once daily may result in missing the surge. Here is an example of my OPK's for one cycle:

On Day 14 of my cycle, I tested at 11:30 p.m. The test was negative (the result line is fairly dark, but not as dark as the test line.)

On Day 15, I tested at 10:00 a.m., only 10.5 hours after my previous test. By this time, the test was positive, and my LH surge had been detected.

Again that same day, I tested at 4:30 p.m, only 17 hours after the previous day's negative test. This test was positive; I was still surging.

And once again that day, I tested, this time at 8:00 p.m. The test was now negative, indicating my LH surge had ended-- and this was still only 20.5 hours after the previous day's test. Therefore, my entire surge lasted less than 24 hours. If I had not taken the additional tests, but followed the instruction to test "every day around the same time," I would have taken a test later that night and missed my surge altogether.

So, if you are unable to detect your LH surge, try testing twice a day! It is possible that you are not ovulating, of course, but this is not a conclusion you should draw based only on a lack of positive OPK's. If you still have concerns, talk to your doctor.

its got a lot of info

Ah man! i thought i was on to a winner with the CB OPKs especially when it says you get a heads up for up to 48 hours as it detects it so well - it even said that it was 99% accurate - what waste of my money!!!

More worried about why i didn't ovulate - it's just odd!

how odd - that was 2 days ago and we BD every other day and on the day that the nasty stuff appeared! just very odd as normally it's not like that you know??? maybe my CB kit is bust what do you reckon?? have done 8 days straight and nothing - got 2 more to go!

Farie · May 7th, 2008, 16:24 PM

My cycle was messed up this month, god only knows why!
I usually get copious CM but hardy anything till the last 2 days. when it did arrive *TMI coming up ....* it was long and stringy and about 5in long yesterday when I popped to the loo. Gross! Sorry

FF has had me at 'probably fertile' for 6 days now!!!

I would keep with the BDing as long as you can (thank god for pre-seed!) and perhaps have a couple of reflexology sessions towards the end of this cycle and the beginning of next to help your body balance.

Ohhhh ..... just a though but I have just started taking Vit B6 and B12 (combined) and mumomega (with EPO in it) wonder if that's what delayed my O ...........????

TrixieLox · May 7th, 2008, 17:30 PM

Vit B6 is supposed to make you O sooner! I've been using it too to increase my luteal stage but wondering if this might be affecting my CM as different from other months.

Pah! This TTC business is doing my nut in. x

Farie · May 7th, 2008, 18:45 PM

O sooner ... Oh dear! Total opposet effect for me!

I never got a postive ovulation test tho nearly(there was lighter lines there). I still was preggers that month so maybe u can just miss it on the tests as i only did 1 a day when i think they advise 2

rachelle1975 · May 8th, 2008, 09:27 AM

I am starting to think that possibly my CB OPK might be duff - it just seems so odd especially when i'm always so regular you know? I'm not suffering from gas and constipation which isn't good - have had odd crampy feelings too like ovulation but not (good and vague eh?)

Anyway, did Pilates last night which was cool and have reflexology at lunch today which i'm looking forward to!!!
