I used OPKs while TTC for #1 and I never got a positive. I knew I ovulated, had very reg cycles and even had bw to confirm my ovulation. My dr said sometimes OPKs don't work for everyone.

Re: so confused...
I'd say you have another couple of days to go to test. Do you have any other O symptoms? My Monthly Cycles really doesnt base your O date off of anything but your cycle history. It can also be assuming an average 14 day luteal phase and you may have a slightly shorter one, which would mean you ovulate a couple of days later than what you have been seeing on MMC. Test the next few days. Try doing it in the am and pm if you don't mind the extra testing.

Re: so confused...
Not everyone O's on CD 14.
Sites that "decipher" your O day for you... are really just guessing based on the average O day of CD 14. SO if you O late normally... those sites will usually just be off.
I usually don't O until CD 18 or later.... so give it some time and keep on testing. Just because you are at CD 14, doesn't mean anything bad.

Re: so confused...
Hi,
I have been using opk's for several months and I also use mymonthlycycles. Well, I actually do not use mymonthlycycles for charting my O. Every month it has been wrong. Use your body and the OPK. I mean I would start using OPK after CD10 (although usually do not O until around CD19) then I pay attention to my Cervical mucus. I generally get EWCM really heavy right before I get a positive OPK.
But do not rely on mymonthlycycles it is not accurate for predicting O. I just really use it to give me the average days of cycle, to remember first day of last period etc.
I hope this helps.
