Hi Jayne,
Many women don't get a true positive, and are fertile and get pregnant.

I have never once got a true positive, for me once I get a second line that is my surge. I bd and usually fall pregnant. (Please [-o< let that be so again soon...)

I used Fortel for a couple of months only managing a feint second line. It was a costly exercise! I held off doing the BD as I wanted to do the deed on or close to ovulation to enhance my chances of conceiving a boy. Well after a few cycles of not falling pregnant I got some bloods taken. I was ovulating... 8-[

I then decided to buy my opk's on line to save money. I bought from Lullaby. Again I only got a feint second line. I phoned the company and she explained that this is the case for some women. She suggested I bd, I did and I conceived. I researched this a lot. There are many women who have this.
So, my advice is:
- bd every night for three nights once you start to see a second line
- Ensure you limit your fluid intake for the couple of hours prior to testing.
- Ensure you test at the same time each day
- Ensure you hold your urine for at least 2 hours prior to testing
- 2pm is thought to be the optimal time to test - however this is not so for everyone!
-If you get a feint line at 2pm test again at 8pm.

Just a note - I believe some tests will show a feint second line all the time. Lullaby did a controlled study and women using their tests only got a feint second line just prior to surging or during the surge. This will be helpful for women like us who don't get a true dark positive line. I have tried testing 3 times a day standing on my head :-k and I still don't get a true positive. Also, if you are on clomid you must remember that it is likely you will get a false positive if you test within 3 days of having your last clomid dose.

I wish you luck and healthy babies!

Love,
Deb
