Well... I went to the RE for the first time ever this month for a natural cycle....(well... I did take generic clomid and just didn't mention it to the RE... I know.. I am bad ...but, I am over 35 and age is an issue.. and i didn't think they were being aggressive enough.. so I took 50mg cd 3-7).
I was supposed to call when I got a smiley (pos. opk).. then go in the next day for IUI.
Well... I got a smiley at 8am on Saturday.. CD 12.. previous test was Friday night at 11 50pm which was negative. So, I figure i got the first smiley somewhere between 11 50pm and 8am the next morning. Well.. lately, when tracking my cycle I have been ovulating the SAME day as smiley. So, i went in for IUI on Sat. and it was done at 12 30pm. I started having ovulation pains at 11am that morning, had more while I was waiting for the sperm to thaw for IUI, and then more at 4pm and 5pm.
Tested for fun... no smiley at 11 50pm on Saturday CD 12. Ok.. i felt good about my timing.
But, here it is Sunday. CD 13. and I tested again at 11 50pm and BAM.. smiley is BACK!!! the lines on the cartridge are SUPER dark.. darker than the first smiley on Sat at 8am.
What the heck?
Did I totally screw up this cycle????

It's always possible.
EDD 12/13/2013
It's identical TWINS! They're GIRLS!
7/20/2013 Sweet Baby A lost her battle with IUGR.
8/26/2013 Feisty Baby B was born via emergency CSection 16 weeks premature
This cycle, I solved this little mental quandry by not testing with the CB smilies after the first one, and instead, seeing my LH surge fade with cheapie and First Response lined tests. That way, I know the "official smilie time", and can still reassure myself that the LH surge was timed right by watching the other lined tests fade. It works really well for me, and stops my obsessive need to test using the smilies.
In other words.. I think you got your timing exactly right! May your TWW be speedy and with happy results!

old mama- yeah.. I don't usually test after the first smiley.. but since this was my first time at the RE, I just decided to do it this time. The ovulation pain I felt after iui.. was not cramping from the IUI. I had that also... over the area of my uterus... this 'ovulation pain' was in addition to the slight cramping from the iui, and it was where it normally is...on my right side.

Do you temp in addition to using opks?
gonnabeamommasoon- Thanks for your comment
I hope my timing is good... I felt only VERY slight fleeting o pains on Sunday.. may not have even been o pains. But, I definitely felt them on Saturday. I would not mind at all if there were two beans. I actually WANT twins... b/c I am afraid that if I ever get pregnant the first time, I may not have time to have another due to age... and really want my children to have a sibling... I think that is such a great gift to give to a child, rather than having just one, especially since they are donor conceived.... and the "bio" dad won't be in there lives... at least not till age 18, since I have only ever used willing to be known donors. I feel that is the least I can do is to give the child the option to know/ meet their biological father, after age 18.

She tested on Monday morning to see if it was still a positive opk and it was. Then today this morning she tested and got a positive OPK where the test line was darker then the control line and around 6pm she felt a burst of a pain on her right side that then faded away. This makes us think she ovulated today instead of yesterday. The opks say they approx 24-36 hours out but from Sunday 11am - Tuesday around 6pm is 55 hours later, so not really sure what happened. Sorry we can't give you an answer, as we are in our TWW but just wanted to share that we are having a very similar thing going on here!
TTC #1 5/16/11 = BFP 14 DPI / TTC #2 11/16/12 = No O; 4/12/13= BFN; 6/9/13 = BFP!! (11 DPI) - MC 5wk5dys / TTC#3 3 BFN's and 4th try 10/21/13 = BFP!!!! (Squinter at 10dpi!)
