Why didn't I temp? OPK frustration
Last time around when TTC DD I temped and used OPKs. I always had 2 positive days and back then had crazy long cycles- 40 days. This time around I figured I'd be more laid back and not temp. Ugh what a mistake. Today I'm on day 4 of +OPK and so confused!! 4 days? Ugh!
I did have major cramping on Thursday and thought for sure I was O-ing. Friday had a spot of blood on toilet paper which I thought was another sign. Yesterday after BD there was blood again. So what gives? I have one more test. Will wait til tomorrow and hope it's negative. Not even sure if we should keep BD. We've done every day now since Tuesday. We're spent!

CD 17-20 so far. My cycles range from 28-32 days. Will test again tomorrow morning and that's it because I don't have anymore tests.

Started on CD 10. Testing in afternoon and sometimes at night. Using the up & up ones. The test line comes up right away and is a clear positive.
If it doesn't happen this cycle I'm temping and using digital because this is ridiculous.

I have to say I only use digital ones Bc I do not trust myself using the interpretive ones.

Are you sure you aren't pg? 4 days of + OPKs is a really long time...but OPKs will be + when you're pg.

Re: Why didn't I temp? OPK frustration
This is why I use the digital. They say once you get a + (solid smiley) it will stay on the test for 48 hrs (most fertile time) and then you can stop testing.
I wouldn't know what to make of any other tests.
This cycle I followed Deanna's Plan with the Digital OPK's. Currently in the TWW.
If this cycle is not good, I'm gonna temp with the next one.
Good luck! I know it's frustrating!

Definitely sure. I had a pretty heavy period last cycle. Last time around when TTC I had a chemical. I only figured it out because I was temping. I had a pretty light period.

Yeah next time I'm splurging and spending the money. I ran out so I can't even test anymore at this point. Good luck to you!
