its definatly not silly, the cycle before I got pregnant last time I was OBSESSED with the OPK's, I brought them from the chemist and had never used them before after doing 3 of them I realised they where expired!!!! so I rang the chemist and drove the 1hr round trip to swap at 6pm hahaha, then even though I had all the other Oing signs I just wanted the dam +opk and sure enough I got it on the new ones.
Definatly keep testing and see what happens, I hope your DH feels better so you can get your grove on haha
U could try testing twice a day. I started doing that my second month of using opks cuz I never saw a surge and picked it up that second month. I think I must have had a short window of "surge" time. So I tested at 6am and 2pm just to make sure I wasn't going to miss it. I think I read somewhere that a surge can last for only 12 hrs so if only testing once a day u won't actually pick it up in an opk?
