Waiting to try:Not able to detect Ovulation

2005-02-10

Name: Newyork 121 Dear Archie and all other members,
I am 29 years old and married for three years. We have been trying for a baby from two to three months.
I have been trying to find my ovulation time using urine base prediction kit. I had been experiencing irregular periods since August but again from last two months I have been getting it on my regular cycle of 25 days. I have tried Clear Blue 7 stick Ovulation kit and Duane Read kit but no success so far. I also tried Saliva based Ovulation but couldn’t figure out a thing from Saliva based Ovulation kit so I am not counting on that.
Is anyone experience similar kind of problem? What could be the reason behind that? Is there something else I should try? Should I see a doctor immediately regarding this?

Thanks in advanced….

Clear Blue

Dear NewYork 121,
Looks like you are on right track.
OPK from Clear Blue are good one and no reason to miss ovulation prediction. Remember to start testing from CD7 if cycles are of 25 days. Do take test between noon to 3 pm and follow instructions carefully. On the day you get positive test repeat test around 8 pm and reconfirm. Surge won't stay more than 24 hours, keep this point in mind.

Saliva detector I am not comfortable with it as this has not been very good prooven test. One of the girls here did use Saliva detector and confirmed inconsistancy, she was thoroughly confused if she was ovulating on day as per her BBT.

If cycles are of 25 days and are very regular then start intercourse from CD7 and intercourse only once a 24 hours until CD 10 or maximum CD11.

Good luck.
Archie

LH Surge Line not darker

Dear Archie,
Once again thanks for your prompt reply. Today is CD13. And I have been noticing that the second line for LH Surge does not appear at all now.
But when I was reading the instructions on a kit it says LH surge line should be similar or darker than reference line; which never happened in my case. I got very light second line for day or two and then disappeared.
So is that possible not to get dark line?

Thanks....

line on CD9

Dear NewYork 121,
If your cycles are regular and of 25 days then likely that you will ovulate on or around CD11 which means your surge will be on CD9 or so (OPK surge). I think what you saw is real thing. As said in earlier message surge won't last more than 24 hours and sure that you won't get to see second line. If you are passed CD10 or so you are less likely to detect second line for 25 days cycle. Instruction on CDs for Clear Blue or any OPK are based on cycles of 28 days (classical cycle) otherwise each person need manipulation with reference to their cycle length:)

Remember there is only 20% chance to get pregnant even if all is fine with you both and ovulation is picked up at right time. Do not let the failure put you in despair. A healthy couple can take as much as 1 year to get pregnant. Hope I have helped enough to sort out your primary needs on OPK.
What CD is today?
Archie

Newyork121 - OPK Test Timings

Dear Archie,
Thanks for your quick reply. I started testing from CD8 as it said in instructions. Probably I should try from CD7. Now about the timings I never took OPK test between noon to 3 pm. I tried either first thing in the morning or in the evening but tried around the same time. Honestly it is difficult for me to hold the urine and minimize water intake for 4 hours so I prefer to take that in the morning. Next time I will take the test between the time you have suggested. One other thing I have noticed that when I used the OPK test stick on my CD8 to CD9 at least I get some what lighter second line but after that it disappeared at all. Lately I started getting only one line. Does it mean Ovulation is already occurred?
That's it for now. Once again thanks for your valuable time.
