Will I ever ovulate??
Not sure what's going on with me!
first cycle we took at whatever happens approach.
cycle two we used OPKs but I used FMU since I didn't know not to and got a +OPK on CD 17 only.
cycle three got a +OPK on CD 17 and CD 18.
cycle four (now) I'm on CD 21 and still no +OPK. I started testing on CD 13 and I'm still getting negatives (with digital OPKs).
I tested...
1/6 at 6:45 pm
1/7 at 5:00 pm
1/8 at 10:00 pm
1/9 at 4:00 pm
1/10 at 4:00 pm
1/11 at 4:00 pm
1/12 at 4:00 pm
1/13 at 2:00 pm

Could I have missed it? I noticed EWCM (lots of it, which I've never had before) on CD 19 (1/12) so we BD'd that night. We skipped last night, and will BD again tonight.
What else should we do?
Please keep in mind my previous posts (DH and I can't really "keep up" in terms of BDing every day!) We planned on waiting until we got a +OPK then BDing that night and the next night, but now we don't know what to do!

Re: Will I ever ovulate??
well, since EWCM means O is imminent (within about 3 days), you may get a + tomorrow?
I got EWCM 2 days before + this month. Just keep BD'ing every other day 
good luck!

Re: Will I ever ovulate??
You definately could be on the verge of Oing. So keep testing. Don't get yourself down bc you might just be Oing late this month! I think BDing when you saw the EWCM was a good idea.

I am in the same boat as you. We can't keep it up forever and we planned on bding when we got the postive OPK but we need to keep his swimmers fresh also so we bded on wednesday and now at cd13 we still only have a faint line on the opk. So we bded again last night. But my cm is not there yet. It is just starting to switch over to watrery and I don't always get EW. Soooo.. yeahhh.. I am still waiting...tap tap tap... for positve opk. ALthough last month I didn't O until cd 20 but that was sooo out of the norm for me. I also got ewcm that month about 7 days before that.
soooo in closing I would not bd tonight if I were you. You did it last night and now I would rest until positve opk. What if you bd tonight and get a positve opk tommorow and then you have to bd 3 days in a row. My advice is skip tonight. and keep testing.

Re: Will I ever ovulate??
Now I'm on CD 22, and still -OPK!
I'm almost done with my second box of clearblue digitals... and at $40 a pop I'm not too happy!
I only have two sticks left! (I tested twice on to days because I'm just amazed at the fact that I'm not ovulating yet!)

Re: Will I ever ovulate??
 that must be frustrating.... you've got to O SOMETIME! maybe you missed it?

good luck.....

I know, I'm wondering if I missed it too  I normally start testing at CD 10 since my cycles can range in length, but I decided this month to start on CD 13.

Re: Will I ever ovulate??
if you've been BD'ing every other day you are definitely still on track....
the OPK was driving me nuts too. I was beginning to wonder if I O'ed at all! I calmed down when it dawned on me that I don't need to see +OPK to be pregnant, I only have to BD close to my O date! 
good luck with those stupid sticks!

to respond to stephy and wannabeamom...
I normally get a +OPK on CD 17, but didn't this month.
I saw EWCM on day 19 so we BD'd that night, and then again on day 21. Now I'm on day 22 and still no +OPK!

I suspect you may have missed your surge and it happened in the last couple days 
those OPK's are so frustrating
just keep BD'ing for another several days. I bet your timing is just fine...
good luck!

Re: Will I ever ovulate??

this stinks!
I was trying to be good about testing at the same time every day. And it sure is a killer to hold it in for 4 hours!!
