Confused much

[~*Kat*~]

I'm a little confused
I did a OPK 2 days ago and got a very faint line but I did 1 today I did 1 and get no line asides from the control line
I dont know why and not I dont know if I O'd or not
Help I am not sure if I should keep testing for the next 5 days or what I should do

keep testing at the same time each day. I know I get a very definite test line when I 'o' so hang in there!

Thanks Joeve I looked at it again like half an hour later and it did have a very faint line I just didn't expect it to tak that long
I know this doesn't mean I have O'd but its at least good that it showed up
I did use a OPK last year when we were trying but not on clomid and I never even got the faint line with them so I think things have improved even slightly even though I know its not O time yet I am hoping I will O

Hun you need a DARK line. LH is present in your urine in low doses throughout the month (DH has a lot more given they are making spermies all the time), and only peaks just before O. Therefore you should expect to see a faint line at least some of the time.
Look for a line that is equal in strength or even stronger than test line. You can also see some pics on line for comparison.

Keep testing until you either get a good strong line, or your temp increase shows that you O'd, or you get AF.

Good luck!

I might invest in another thermometer this week and start temping
I only have an ear thermometer atm so I haven't been temping
Thanks for the advice I am aware the line needs to be a strong 1 but it is nice to have my thoughts on it confirmed
I will keep testing I think and keep fingers crossed

The test should also give you a timeframe for the line same as pregnancy test I temped before I even knew what an opk was (I do it for confirmation now as I have a regular cycle and 'o') and I found I got the most consistent temps by temping vaginally. Its not for everyone but it works for me, I have a packet of wipes to wipe it after use and make sure its not used for any other temp taking!!!! Added bonus is that having it down there muffles out the beep beep beeping too

lol do u have a special 1 or is it just a normal thermometer but u only use it for that?
I know I can get 1 from my supermarket thats digital but I think it would be good for the job
I am a bit worried about temping in the mornings (I know its the best time) as DD comes in to wake me up by climbing into bed with me. I know I will have to send her out ortry to be descreet
