Q about OPKs and temping

[everafter07]

I've been using OPKs for two months. Once each month I've gotten a lot of negatives and one strong positive, around mid-cycle. The first time, my temp rose the morning after my positive, but this month, over two days have passed since the positive and my temp hasn't risen yet.

Has this happened to anyone else?

From what I understand, just because you get a pos OPK doesn't necessarily mean you're going to O - which is what the temp spike indicates.


For me that sucks b/c I prefer to rely on OPKs since I'm horrible at remembering to temp in the am - when I try to do it I wake up so frequently during the night because I am thinking about temping... grrr.

Yes, this month I got a positive OPK on Sunday, but my temp didn't go up until Wed, so I probably o'd on Tuesday. Just happened to catch the OPK at the beginning of when it would have been positive.

Ok thanks. DH is OOT from last night thru Sunday, so I guess this cycle will be a wash. I was excited when I got that postitve OPK a couple of days ago, but with no temp spike 24 hours after he left, I don't think it's happening. *sad*
