Hi.
I know opk are confusing but there is a great site called http://www.peeonastick.com/opkfaq.html
that should answer all the questions i found it very useful, also may i sugesst doing basal body temps too, it will help you determine when you have indeed ovulated,
good luck
When I was using OPK I was like you and didnt know much about them. I first took them in the morning but heard you should take them in the afternoon. Well, I started taking them on my lunch break starting from CD4 and I got a faint positive a few days later. I thought it was an evap and kept taking them and got another positive about a week later. Now I am pregnant with twins. Explains a lot huh? I'm sure you will get your positive in the next few days. And I agree with the above poster to also track your BBT. Not only is it more accurate but it's FREE :) Good luck to you and sending lots of baby dust your way.
Thanks for the advice ladies...
I took my regular OPK at 11 and it was pretty much a big blank... I will test again around 2/3 and see if anything is there then... I am just wondering if I would have bought a more expensive kind like First Response of Clear Blue if the lines would be more clear? Hopefully I never missed my LH surge.
How many days are in your cycle. I learned last month that I ovulate on day CD 16-17. I have a 29-30 day cycle.
ok heres my dilema....I took a dollar store tree ovulation test and its a faint line....but I thought I ovualtedf 2 weeks ago...maybe I about to ovulate now... who knows.. oh I took ,ines at 10:30 in the morning!
Just having a line on an OPK doesn't mean its positive. The test line has to be as dark or darker for it to be a positive.
