Anyone used internet OPK strips? I'm not getting a positive!!!

Hi everyone! Well, I bought some of those OPK strips from the Internet a couple of weeks ago, and have been using them this month. I've never had any problems detecting my surge with any other OPKs, but this month, it got gradually darker until yesterday (yet not as dark as the control line) and today the the test line is lighter again.

Has anyone else had problems with the strip OPKs? The ones I bought were green and from early-pregnacy-tests.com.

I'm confused!!!

nope but I used the HPT's and still am not getting BFP and I'm 4 weeks 2 days pregnant

I used those exact OPK strips last month and had no problem.  In fact, I thought they were too sensitive since I got positive OPK for 2 days in a row and on the 3rd day it was still almost positive!  Never had that with regular OPK.

Thanks to both of you for answering! Wow, I'm surprised your HPT strips are still coming out negative, Brown Eyed Gurl, because your numbers are pretty high, aren't they? And, Helen, I've actually used internet strips once before (they came free with a different order), and that time I had no problems with them. So I'm not sure what's going in this month. Maybe I just got  bad batch or something. I guess I'll just have to see what happens to my temps over the next few days.

Thanks again!

Is it possible that you just missed the surge?  How often do you OPK?  I haven't missed mine before but I heard that some people have a very quick one.  Perhaps yuo caught it on the way up and then on the way down.

yeah my #'s saturday were 293 and still BFN 293 definatly more than 25

[Heather5]

Yeah, I guess I could have missed it...it's just strange, because I'v been using OPKs for a year now, and I've always gotten a surge. And, since the line was getting so close, I actually tested twice both Sat and Sun!!! Very strange!

[Heather5]

Oh, wow! That's insane. A level of 293 should definitely show up...even on the LEAST sensitive test which show positive at 100. If they claim a 25 sensitivity, there must be something wrong with them! That makes me wonder about the OPKs I bought too...

Good thing you decided to test with a different HPT!!!!

[Brown Eyed Gurl]

yep that's what I was thinking I got these off Ebay and today still neg.....and I'm sure it's more than 293 now.

I have two pregnancy test sticks I bought from early-pregnancy-tests.com and now I wonder if I should use them....  

Thanks for warning us!

I'll test again in the morning with the ones I got and see after my beta tonight if it works....well I'm off.....talk to yall in the morning.
