for those of you with 26 day cycles...

what cycle day do you normally ovulate?

i have been using the opk kit and am on day 14 and nothing....shouldn't i have ovulated by now?

i did not start to use them until day 12. is it possible that i o'd at day 10 or 11?

just wondering if anyone has had the same experience...thanks!

I have a 28 day cycle...last month I got my surge line on day 13.

Hope this helps!

It is possible you missed it - I also have a 28 day cycle and according to the opk kit I start testing on day 10 or 11 - but I consistently get my positive on day 15.

It is possible that you missed your O.

I got my positive on day 12 which would have me O on day 13 or 14.

If you don't get pG this month I would definitely use them earlier next month until you get a better idea of when you are ovulating. My first time I got my positive on day 11.

No matter how long your cycle is, you ALWAYS ovulate just aboutEXACTLY 14 days before AF, so for a 26 days cycke, it would be day 12, so you may have JUST missed the surge

This is not correctat all, not everyone has a Luteal Phase of 14 days. I know women who have a LP if 9 days (if you have a LP of 9 or less you might want to get checked by your doctor for LP defect) and I know women who have LP's of 18 days. Sorry off the question you asked.
It is very possible that you missed your surge this month. Next month I would start using them a few days earlier. Once you figure out where about you ovulate each month is your cycle it becomes easier to start using less of them.

This is absolutely NOT true.
