Ok so here within the last 12 or so months I have actually been trying to track my bbt. Well the thing is I’m never up at the same time each day (due to working a night shift and working odd days) and like for a whole month our ac was broken and in the morning it was still hot (at least warm) in my house and my temps were all over the place. I’ve kind of given up on tracking my bbt and started tracking my cm, cause it just seems easier. I have been tracking just my cm for the last 6 months, and I think I have figured out when I ovulate. I seem to be ovulating between the 5-9 of each month. Well my doc said to try ovulation strips and so I went out and bought some the other day and started using them yesterday. I did the first one and there was a very faint line. Well today the line was noticeably darker (within the time frame given). My doc told me also when I talked to her the other day to just try testing when I bought them and so the next day I did. (I wanted to know other ways of tracking my ovulation and that’s when she suggested).

If I was right my ovulation should have been the 7th, 8th, and 9th of this month. My hubby and I bd all three of those days, (even with me laying for about 15 mins or more each time before getting up).

My question is could I have been wrong on when I ovulated and actually ovulating late? (my af shows up exactly the 21st of each month and when checking online at tracking sites I should be about the 3-9 each month, and like said above I seem to ovulate about the 5-9 of each month)

I was also wondering why I would be getting noticeably darker lines each day if I already ovulated? Could it be something more? Pregnant?

My hubby and I have been trying for a little over a year but my yearly doc appointment isn’t until November and will not find out anything with fertility until then. I’m not due for my af for a few days from now but I’m feeling differently then I normally do before I start, but I know it won’t be what we’re hoping for. I’m not stressing about it or anything else but anytime I hope for something good something always seems to happen and then it turns out bad.

Thanks to all who answer and tons of baby dust to all who are ttc!!!! Sorry if this was long, just kind of confused.
