Still no effing LH surge.
I'm on CD 14...26 day cycle...still no LH surge, and only one test left.
Do I go out and buy another OPK?? Is it possible that I only ovulate once every other month?
ps..hubby and I banged on CD11 and CD13.
Edited..thanks MAM..

Re: Still no effing LH surge.
are you making sure you are testing in the afternoon/early evening? maybe you are missing your surge?

Re: Still no effing LH surge.
I have gotten no surge either yet this cycle. I am on CD20, I test at the same time every afternoon (4pm).
Like Melissa said...bang like rabbits everyday and cross your fingers!!!

Re: Still no effing LH surge.
I'm confused by the ovulate once a month comment... but I'd get another box of OPKs. You might just O later than you think and/or have a short LP.
Good luck!

Yes..i'm testing at 4pm..but didn't test at 4pm the first couple of days..i was testing at noon....i hope that didn't screw things up.
LOL!! so bang every day, huh? OK!
Sean will looooove that! Should I tell him to put on his party-boy thongs and dance around the room?

I think it's possible that you missed it if you tested at noon. Also you should be holding your P for about 3-4 hours before. I would say go for every day or every other day and start again next month. Of course - I'd probably buy another pack as well just to make sure you didn't just miss it. The LH builds up during the day so by testing at noon - I think there is a chance you missed it.

Thank you!
Just curious why the OPK instructions say I could test any time of the day and all ladies here are saying the afternoon is best?
Thanks!!

Re: Still no effing LH surge.
I was just going to say this. The Clear Blue says that you can test at anytime. It actually says it's easier in the morning (b/c you have to wait 4 hours)

Yeah I thought so too? Hmmm..maybe Clearblue is just making seem "easier" for testers?
Did I not get my LH surge because all of the french fries and chocolate I've been eating? tee hee!! 
Well..at this point we'll just bang away! woo hoo!

Re: Still no effing LH surge.
I just want to let you know that I have PCOS and Endometriosis, so I used the Clearblue Ovul. tests too, for 2 months and NEVER got a smiley...2nd month we did something right b/c I got prego....so just some advice, have fun and just have sex every other day from days 10 to 20 or so or 12 to 22 depending on your cycle...I seriously had no idea I was prego b/c I thought I wasn't ovulating...:)

Re: Still no effing LH surge.
Last month got 14 days of a high reading with no peak. I have been charting this month and see alot of charts on FF which indicate ovulation without a + OPK. You may still ovulate/have already ovulated. Keep BDing!!!

Re: Still no effing LH surge.
I just got my smiley-and I noticed that my surge is around 8-9pm. I tried last month and noticed that I would get nothing early on. Try another pack, keep BDing and test later-consume as little fluid as possible and then test late. I bet you will get your surge! HTH

I actually test first thing in the morning - this way I know I have at least a 4 hour hold and I haven't had anything to drink to avoid diluting the results. Personally, I would have a hard time not drinking and holding till noon. I drink alot during the day. The truth is the test does say anytime, but I have read on infertility website that late afternoon is the "optimal" time because this hormone usually builds up during the day. But I still test in the morning. I would say if the noon doesn't give you a positive result - it couldn't hurt to try a different time of day....
good luck!

Re: Still no effing LH surge.
ok so I used my last test of the box, and still no LH surge.
I'm just going to bang hubby every other day until my period is comes.
I'm tempted to go buy another box of OPK's, but we're leaving for Vermont tonight and I refuse to hold in my pee for 4 hours while snowboarding!
