for all you late ovulators

When do you normally get a positive LH surge on your OPKs?

I am using the CBE digital test for the first time this month. I am on CD 18 and still no smiley.

I am not expecting it until I am in the 20s already but I feel like I may never get this smiley.

Are there any of you that have never gotten a positive surge or smiley? Does that mean We do not ovulate?

How long are your cycles and when did you finally get your smiley or dark LH surge line?

Re: for all you late ovulators

With the CBEFM I didn't get my "Peak" reading until CD23-24. I always ovulate very late.

Re: for all you late ovulators

I am on CD28 and haven't gotten a positive yet. This is my first month using OPK so I am hoping I will still get my +. We can be frustrated together I hope you get your soon.

Re: for all you late ovulators

I've consistently gotten a positive on CD19--ovulate on CD20. Today is CD19, haven't tested yet, but I don't really have EWCM so I'm not feeling like it's going to be positive today.

Re: for all you late ovulators

I usually get a postive on CD17 or 18 and I O on either CD18 or 19. but this month I didn't get my surge until CD25 and I didn't O until CD 26.. The Dr. put me on progesterone b/c my level was a little on the low side.. BTW when I O on either CD18 or CD19 I usually have around a 31 Day cylce

Re: for all you late ovulators

This was my exact post the other day and I just got my first today (CD21). I was sure I was in for another O this morning when I tested but instead I was greeted with a . I was THRILLED!! I only started to notice EWCM later in the day today. Hang in there. Hopefully it'll come soon.

My last cycle was 35 days. The 3 cycles before were 28 days. I have a susupicious feeling that the first 3 cycles at 28 days weren't "real" as these were the first 3 cycles off the pill and they just seemed too perfect. I think last month at 35 days was my first real cycle.

Re: for all you late ovulators

I usually O around days 28-30. This month I had an HSG done and it must have moved things along because the doc said I'll O tomorrow (CD 24) and sure enough, I got a positive OPK today. My cycles are usually 40-42 days. Doctor put me on clomid for my next cycle to see if it helps me O sooner. I'm also taking Metformin.

Re: for all you late ovulators

That's me! I'm a late O-er!

Actually just got my smiley today, which is CD 20 for me

Last month, got the smiley on CD24 - I'm pretty sure I O'd late due to work related stress and working crazy overnight hours.

Month before that smiley on CD 19.

Cycles usually 31-34 days

You are not alone

Re: for all you late ovulators

Thanks guys!! I just needed some feedback from you gals with similiar situations. I am just nervous that I will never get a smiley and maybe I don't get the LH surge.

or the worst...maybe I don't ovulate
