OPK's work by dectecting the surge of Lutenizing hormone that occurs 12 to 36 hours before O. YOu generally start testing a few days before anticipated ovulation. Rule of thumb is to test at 2pm and 8pm. At first you may get a few days of faint lines but these are considered negative. A true positve is when the second line goes as dark or darker than the test line. Once you get a positive O is likely to occur with in the above stated time.
OPK's don't work for everyone. Some people never get a true positive and stil manage to get a bfp. They can be expensive too. I have just used the lullaby conception brand and it was good. Others get them from ebay.
I used them this month and I was surprised to see how well my fertility signs matched the opk result. To be honest now that I have used them I won't go back because they really helped me pinpoint O.
thanks Jaxi - it does look good... but i am so confused re the o date and also wondering if i wa doing temp right early on (didnt have light on LOL!!). but glad they seem to be getting higher and higher.... will test in a few days.... hope things are going well with you!
Noooooooo!!! Sending you big hugs Pregpan. Still no AF? Maybe give it another few days and test again if still no AF. Thinking of you. I know how the BFN feels but am not giving up hope for you!
yep no AF yet... will test again in a few days but i reckon this wasnt my month....
will keep you updated - now i just want AF so I can try again... boo hoo
well girls my TCM dr just called me, she think i prob O'd around day 21...
hmmm BD may not have been that well timed this month.. esp as dh was sick all last week...
i guess just a long cycle... and not likely to be my month...
and testing WAY too early LOL
I told you not to test. I'm a shocking chart stalker & I'm getting good at reading them. I think you O'd somewhere inbetween CD19 & CD21 (hard to tell) so yes it's too early to be testing. Try not to test unless it gets higher than it did last cycle (I know how hard that is).
I'm happy to have a look at your chart anytime. I hardly ever get them wrong (but sometimes I do). I can't believe FF took your line away. Weird. At least you are still up there, that's good. Let's see where it goes over the weekend.
