Did we fail again this month?

We have been trying for 4 months.
My cycle is 30 days most of the time, usually the same day every month.

In Oct, I used online ovulation calendar. It said I was supposed to ovulate on CD16.
We bd'ed on CD8 and CD16. Needless to say, nothing happened. Period was on time.

In Nov, I bought ClearBlue OPK, and they showed positive on CD17 & CD18.
We bd'ed on CD13, CD17 & CD18. Period came 1 day late.

In Dec, I used ClearBlue OPK again and they were positive on CD17 & CD18.
We bd'ed on CD17, CD18, CD19. Period came 2 days late.

This month, Jan, I started using ClearBlue digital monitor for the first time.
Had HIGH results on CD11, CD12, CD13 and PEAK on CD14 & CD15.
We bd'ed on CD12, CD13, CD14, CD15. The thing is on CD16, the monitor went back to HIGH,
and I still felt wet but we couldn't bd'ed b/c he was out of town.

When do you think I ovulated, CD15 or CD16? I guess it was CD15 since it's the 2nd  PEAK day, but how come on CD16 I was still wet? It says ovulation happens 24-36hrs after the surge, so it should be on CD15. Do you think we failed to conceive again b/c we missed CD16?

My LMP was on 01/07, so I think I should get my period either on 2/5 (if 30 days) or 2/7.
I hope it doesn't come, but somehow I'm not so positive about it.

Thanks for your time,
Mary

I am sort of on the opposite end of that spectrum. Even though you may get a surge it may not indicate that you have truly ovulated. You should try temping it is much more accurate. I would also use the OPK in addition so that you know when you should start BD'ing. (BD - Baby Dance) I would get a surge on an OPK but charting showed that I was not ovulating but my cycles were normal hence the surge but no ovulation. I am now 5 weeks and 2 days pregnant after 20 months of trying.

You just need to stop thinkg about getting pg, stop doing those tests, find a hobby that will make you forget about getting pg. and when u least expect it you will be pg. it took me 5 months to get pg. after I got married. Good luck and keep us updated.
