If I don't see the pinkish spotting just now, I would still be hopeful. Now that I see it, I cannot pretend it is not there. I know this cycle, most probably fail again. Spotting is a killer. Sigh....
Anyway, if AF is not here on Sunday, I will use DBEST HPT to test. Sianz.. Feeling very down now..

ceraine, ya lor, sometime i also find it funny why different gynae can say different thing. Make us so confuse. My gynae told me not to rely on opk. But i don't care. Opk can tell me that O is approaching. But if rely on just BBT, also cannot as by then we see the shift, O is over. So its still best to do both.
this cycle is my shortest so far... 29 days cycle nia... usually my cycles around 35 days one... my LP so zhun... 14 days after O.. my AF comes...
magpie
if your AF due on sun but didnt come... very high chance.. cos LP usually constant thruout one... so u can test on sun... good luck ok!!

babe,
2 mths ago I have sore boobs after O and during 2WW but didn't strike. This cycle, I also had on and off sore boobs from O and during 2www and got BFP. Almost similar symptoms but different results. So the best is dun trust those symptoms too much, it will drive you crazy!

Is it.. Hmmm, not sure too. My gynae only told me blood test is the only that is reliable. I almost faint when i hear that.
but this is what i get from website
9. Can I get a positive OPK and then not ovulate?
Yup! It is possible for your body to "gear up" to ovulate, leading to an LH surge-- and then, for some reason (such as stress, illness, travel, or random fluke), your body fails to release an egg. When this happens, your LH surge will dissipate and your cevical mucus (a signal of fertility) will dry up. Once the stress is resolved, your body will try again. This can happen more than once per cycle. Therefore, there is no way to be sure you ovulated, even if you had a positive OPK. OPK's are most accurate when used in conjunction with fertility charting (NFP or FAM.) That way, a positive OPK can be cross-checked with an increase in basal body temperature and/or cervical mucus dry-up.
12. I never get a positive OPK. Does this mean I'm not ovulating?
No, not necessarily. It can depend on how often you test. Most OPK's say to test once a day, around the same time each day. 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:

Liz,
If tested +ve at 10pm then can BD that same night + the following night lor since O will occurs 12-48 hrs later but then spermies also need 12 hrs to travel to egg rite?
If +ve at 2pm then, just BD that same night and remember to test again at 10pm to see if the test line becomes lighter or not?

sasa, thanks gal... i never lose hope... just wanted to know where goes wrong so that i can improvise my BD method... maybe i shouldnt always BD around the same time... should mix some night and mornings sessions... but i saw quite a no of preggies here never BD everyday during O period... they only BD alt day can strike liao... maybe alt day better??
babe79
maybe u can try to BD 2Days be4 O and stop nxt day then on O itself u BD in the morning...=)...thats enough liao...morning sperimes quite strong....=).....thats wad i did...hee..coz the day be4 O , i agrue with DH, no BD...haha..then i don wan give up, i wake him up nxt morning to molest him..*shy*...*blushing*

mag, dun feel down... yours its not a sure failed cycle... your AF not here yet... thou u saw spotting... it may be IM... so dun worry so much.. if u dun wanna keep guessing.. u may want to test when u go home later... if really preggy... should see BFP by now... jia you!
babe79, i do not think it's our problem since we have done our part to BD often near O. Just that we do not have the luck for the sperm to aim correctly at the egg. I have a few of previous cycles, FF all state chances are high, but sucks, none strike.
anyway, i was thinking of getting my hubby to go for another SA test since the last one he took was in apr. Now coming half a year, wonder if those vits, zinc, herbs etc all works on him

wah... he totally wrong. milk and soya bean milk contains things which are no good for sperm. will affect the quality and quantity. milk contains estrogen(read from web). things made from soya bean like soy milk, tofu, tau kua, tau huay should not be taken as it messes with the hormones. both guys and gals cannot eat during ttc.
