Well today is CD 14 and after not seeing a surge on my twice daily OPKs, I called the doctor yesterday morning. He told me to come in this morning and we would see where the follicle is and hopefully proceed with the IUI today. Well guess what, no flippin follicle. Oh there were plenty of little ones but it looks like I already ovulated (and those damn OPKs missed it AGAIN), or I'm going to ovulate really late this month (which has never happened to me in my entire life). He told me to do the OPKs for another week, but I'm not going to bother. I'm going to take my temp tomorrow morning and if it's over 98.2 then I know I already ovulated. If for some reason my temp is still low, then I'll continue with the OPKs. He could've run bloodwork to verify but why use up the insurance on a blood draw when I already know what happened. I would bet all my marbles that I ovulated on Day 12 because that's when I had a ton of fertile mucous. What I don't understand is why now 2 months in a row the OPKs have not picked up my surge. I've been using the Clear Blue Easy Fertility Monitor for almost a year. Last month I got the surge on Day 13 when I had already ovulated on the evening of Day 12. This month I decided to try the Clear Blue Easy Digital OPK and doing it twice per day seems to have failed. I don't get it.
I'm extremely pissed off so I decided to celebrate with a piece of carrot cake for breakfast. It was yummy and temporarily made me feel good.....for like 30 seconds.
Mister and I are going to have a talk tonight because I've had it with wasting month after month after month. Last month it was because of our fight, this month we missed the egg, and who knows what will happen next month! I'm going to get my IVF meds ordered whether he likes it or not, so they are ready to go for next month.

Ugh! How frustrating!! I hate it when I feel like an entire month is wasted. Did you by any chance have any "natural" attempts during the fertile period?
I have never had much success with OPK, even though I know I ovulate each month. Good luck with your husband...there are only 12 opportunities for conception per year, and he should take advantage of that!
Way to take the bull by the horns. I HATE OPKs. I never had any luck with those damn things.
I'm sorry, Hon.
So sorry that you have lost a month. Is there any hope that it happened naturally?
I hope you and DH can come to an agreement about your treatments. But good for you in taking the lead and doing what you feel is right!
There is nothing more frustrating than a missed month! IVF is great for making you feel as if you have progress because at least you are doing something and not playing with OPKs!
Good luck!
I'm so sorry. Those OPK's are such a pain.
I know how it feels to miss a month. I hope you and your DH can agree a plan about your treatment. x
So sorry to hear about the missed ovulation.
