The only way to be able to tell for sure if you've ovulated is if you have a sustained temp rise on your chart (half a degree for more than 3 days in a row). You can also check your cervix position - its strange at first but surprisigly reliable once you get the hang of it. I'm half-heartedly tracking temps now just so I know what's going on, but I had to get up at 4am on the day I would have had my temp rise, then was out of town for 5 days. I know I did O, though 'cuz I happen to be a the OB/GYN for my annual exam and I had him do an ultrasound to check to see if anything was growing - and I had a follice at 15mm! 4 days later, I had really intese O pain for a few hours. When I came back from vacation a few days later my temp was WAY up (way higher than my Clomid post O temps) and has stayed up for a week beyond that. If the witch comes to visit by Friday, then I will definitely know for sure.

My experiece with OPK's is that they're a total waste. They've never been accurate for me (of course, I can't really tell when they're positive -LOL!). Its sooo easy to temp every morning. If I could get up at the same time every day, it would be the best - that's really the only accurate way to tell.
