Sorry, I do not understand if you re doing charting and such. The use of OPKs doesn't mean anything unless you are monitoring everything else. They are just to be sued as a back up to fertility charting. If you are charting are you careful, monitoring everything, seeing patterns????

Fertility charting needs to be the first step for any woman who wants to have a child. It is safe, natural and does not rely on drugs or invasive medical procedures. Studies have shown that conception rates rise dramatically when coupled use fertility charting to time intercourse. Each individual woman, and every cycle, has its own unique routines. After several months of charting your symptoms, you should be able to see any patterns that might exist. Understanding how your chart is interpreted depends on the reliability and accuracy of the data entered and the clarity of the char pattern. Some charts are very easy to interpret while others require a bit of extra analysis and flexibility. Your body has its own hormonal patterns, as a result predicting ovulation accurately can’t be achieved until you have charted for a period of eight to 12 consecutive months. Interpreting your charts becomes easier with each fertility chart that you complete. If your chart looks like it is missing parts, you may wish to seek help when the signs become obvious. Various health factors, such as age, can affect your ability to conceive. If you are a healthy 30-year-old woman, you have about a 20 percent chance of getting pregnant each month. By the time you are age 40, your will chances drop to about 5 percent a month. But infertility can affect women of any age, and from any background. Lack of biphasic temperatures, inconsistent cervical mucus changes, incorrect cervical changes may identify any potential problems that medical assistance may help you with. If you have decided to use technical devices, with your charting, and are not seeing the desired results, you may wish to seek help from a reproduction specialist. Charts that show cycles that appear to follow little, or no expected pattern, you will want to show your doctor sooner rather than later. Knowing this information, and seeing proof of a potential problem as soon as possible, becomes more important as you age. Fertility charting is a good place to establish irregular menstrual cycles and anovulation (lack of ovulation), but it may take several months before these patterns become clear. When they do, you will want to take your fertility chart to your reproduction specialists. If you seek assistance, your doctor will probably still want you to continue charting. Many medical treatment plans will involve knowing when you are apt to ovulate. Learning how your body works will give you a base line to compare to treatment results. It is also better to learn how to chart and read your chart, now and not when you are trying to understand a new medical program, or medication, and the changes it may cause on your body.

Fertility charting is done for several reasons. It helps you to determine when, and if, you ovulate and if you made love at the right time. Charting your BBT will help you become one of the fortunate couples by increasing your chances of getting pregnant earlier. Learning about your fertility through the use of a fertility chart is a very interesting, and educational way to get pregnant. It makes you understand your body and often gives trying to conceive (ttc) more of a purpose. By correlating a number of fertility signs, such as cervical mucus and cervical position with ovulation, your fertility chart will help you determine cycle lengths and help you calculate the follicular and the corpus luteum phases. You will be able to calculate your coverline - the horizontal line drawn after ovulation to help differentiate temperatures before ovulation (low) and temperatures after ovulation (high). Taking the time to chart will help you evaluate your cycle for potential fertility problems and show any possible infertility issues. What is most important, is that it can be used so you can diagnose a pregnancy early. You cannot diagnose pregnancy early on from temperatures remaining high or by examining the cervix. The changes are too subtle to pick up and usually do not appear until well after you miss your period.

Don't use lube, make sure you are timing intercourse correctly--the day before and day of ovulation. Prop hips up for 30min after sex. Try using the Instead cup (www.softcup.com). Don't take Motrin or Ibuprofen or other NSAIDs. Have hubby's sperm tested. Make sure your luteal phase is more than 10 days.
