So we are starting to wonder if DW isn't going to ovulate this month... :-/
We ordered it early in case she ovulated early cause I saw a few of you mention that with ttc #2 you were ovulating earlier. Today or tomorrow should be the day but we've had some very weird OPKS. We used the same brands (lined) as last time, CBE and FRER. Nothing was showing up on the CBE, so DW tried using the FRER's two days ago she had a faint line on the FRER. Yesterday she had a faint line each time she tried on the FRER. Then last night she used a CBE and it looked like the faintest of faint second lines. This morning nothing on the CBE and nothing on the FRER. This afternoon, it was a very faint line on the FRER. Then she read and saw that the FRER if using a cup to dip it said to only hold it for 5 seconds (instead of 20 like the CBE has you hold it in for dipping.) So she switched to that and now nothing on either.
The dewar came in on Monday, so we are still within the 7 days, but we are a little worried. What if she doesn't ovulate? At what point do we decide to send it back? Also, I know some people have been able to get their tanks re-charged... how do you go about doing that? We worry what if we keep it too long, she doesn't ovulate, and the swimmers are no longer viable?! We were only able to get 6 vials of our donor before he sold out... :-/
Thoughts? Advice? Sanity to spare?

Good luck!!!
We are also wondering if it has to do with nursing. Up until last week Stitch had been eating more solids daily, then it was a hectic week of him teething (he's bringing three bottom and a top one in at once!) and huge projects for school which led to us eating more quick style foods him and getting nursed more than eating solids. So we were wondering if that might have canceled or delayed her O? Does anyone know if that did if him being back on eating more solids this week might re-configure her O or if her body might have just decided not to O this month?

I was still BF our oldest when we began TTC #2 and my OB ran bloodwork to confirm I was ovulating ...our son was 12 months old by then but still BF a ton. I found I had a weak ovulation pattern and it wasn't going to be good enough to conceive...we waited a little while until Sebastian night weaned himself and then my hormone levels returned to normal and we were able to conceive this baby. As a side note I had been getting my period regularly since 3months post partum...getting your period does not necessarily mean you are ovulating, especially if you're BF.
