Help with OPKs

[TeddiH]

Well I got some opks of the net. The little tiny strips. After I got them I used one.
There as a faint line (NEG), I didnt use another one for about 3 days as it said to start testing on cd 14.
I have been testing now for I think 4 days. The thing is that that faint little line is only getting lighter!!!
What does that mean? Did I already O, so early??
Im really confuse!
Any help please!!!

[TeddiH]

Well I kind of chart.... ok not really. I check sometimes but not always at the exact same time every day.
I know I should but I am really bad at remembering. Oh and its not always in the morning....
My temp sometimes goes from about 32 c to 38 c.
I will take some pics of my opks and you call tell me what you think.
I was getting lines but really faint,  these ones are NOT faint.
Thanks

do you not chart using temperture.this would be best bet for you in your case,at least you will see a clear view of when you ovulate.

[tarajanes]

well if your now getting ew cm then now maybe the time,when you see that,its considered the last day of being fertile.ditch the tiny strips,buy proper tests,clearblue smiley faces are good one.strips are notorious for having lines there regardless.

[TeddiH]

Well, I dont know whats going on....
I did opk this morning and this evening and got positives both times!?
Im confused, I also had a ton of EW CM yesterday and a little this morning....
???????

just looked at your profile your average cycle says 25 days.so that would put Ovulation around cd11.which is why when you tested cd 14 they were lighter/

[tarajanes]

If your using temp charts.( where you take your temp ) when you have the temp rise ie above coverline thats when you Ovulated.remember ovulation tests tell you that o will happen within 72 hours.a chart tells you exactly when o happen.the chart is accurate,you wouldnt O. 4 days after.do you use the ovulation calender on this site.with access to your chart we can have a peak for you.

Thanks ladies!
I actually think that I may O later, I do use two different online charts, well 3 now.
But looking back at the times that I have got pregnant and after having u/s it would suggest that I O approx. 4 days after my charts say. There for I would only have about a 12-10 luteal phase.
My charts says I should have Oed yesterday or today. The first time I used one of the opks I would have been on cd 10.

[tarajanes]

As for your af this would mean not pregnant,and perfectly normal.if you were to have been pregnant a test would have shown up.so i would suggest start using tests but not those tiny strips from cd10.you may also want to consider charting.as ovulation tests only tell you your about to o,and not when you have,

[tarajanes]

every women once in a while can have an off cycle,if you ovulated later,then your period will be later.your period will always come within 14-16 days following ovulation.another thing if your cycle is pretty regular then you should be starting to use ovulation tests from cd10 not cd14.since on a regular cycle this is when most women o,so its possible you did miss o.

[TeddiH]

huh...
For the most part I am regular. This last cycle I had was messy. I had 2-3 faint + but a neg beta.
My AF was about 6-8 days late and when I got it she was really light for me and I spotted for about 5 days after about 3 days of it being really light.

you can also try testing 2 times per day...around 10 am and around 4 pm.  that way you are more likely to catch your surge

I can take a test in the am and get a negative then in the afternoon get a positive

[tarajanes]

Ive used those strips before and personally think they are pants.you may have o'ed early in your cycle,i did notice with them there was always a line,it also depends what time of day your using them,and if your holding your wee long enough.best time to test is early afternoon.everyday hold wee for about 3 hours.are your periods pretty regular.
