How long does LH surge/+OPK last

[Krikkit]

Hi Bella, Yep the test line is darker .... and it was positive again yesterday,(Friday).. so we were back at it again.

I have done 2 PT and got a BFN. I still have a stuffy nose too. I dunno what's going on, But I guess I will have to wait and see.

Hi guys.. can i ask a question?

I have never done opk's before, and altho we arent officially ttc atm i got some to see if i can track my cycle even better...

On CD9 i did my first one.. now i noted it down as a negative because the T line was a thin line. Its colour was pretty much the same as the C line. I tested CD9, CD10 and continued over the course of the following week.

I am now on CD20.. i have just done 2 today and they are the same as the ones i did before, if not the T line is darker BUT... the lines are still just a line, slim line... not the same thickness as the C line... but darker than the C line SO.. what does this mean? (is it only the colour that matters or does the thickness of the line matter?) The brand im using is forelife. This is the second box so all up i have done 12 OPK's since CD9.

Reason i did the OPK at CD9 is because on CD8 i had the pinching/pain i normally get on the day i O, so that normally occur's anywhere from CD13 to CD15. I thought it was REALLY odd to have had the pain on CD8 and so hence why i wanted to use the OPK's.

any thoughts anyone?

I just wanna know why this nausea is so bad, its every day and that coupled with the pain's (stabbing) i have been getting in my breast's i wanna know if i am just on one long ovulation or if there may be something wrong???

Id really appreciate thoughts guys

Hi Missy MOO

I also use Forelife, I start testing on day 9 just using one a day till I hit day 11, they always have the one line till my LH Surge hits, then I get the two red lines, same colour, it's all about the colour, if they are as red as each other it's a positive, if test line is pink and the other red it's neg. if you have been getting the two red lines for a very long time you might already be pregnant from your previous cycle, have you done a HPT?? how long is your usual cycle?

I am 28 day every month so I always O around day 14 hence the positive today on day 12.

hey bellarose,

ok so now im confused between the red and pink? todays ones the C line is a light pink the T line is a darker purple line (mind you i just read on pee on a stick it can be common to have the outside of a line be the dark part, which i spose could be the line im trying to explain)

can you post a pic of your neg and pos ones?

thank for replying too

ETA: i did a hpt that came with the kit (forelife kit) 2 days ago, and it was bfn. But i have just read that forelife arent the best for hpt :S confused oh and im same as you 28 cycle

p.s is it possible to have fallen pregnant last cycle but still had AF?? (omg after 2 kids i feel so nieve how bad is that lmao)

Hi Missy Moo,

with me when I get a positive, they are the both the same bright red and they stay that way for a few days, then it goes back to one line (neg) so if they are different colours I would say they are neg. I will try to post a picture of the positive as I just did another one now. do you have an email address I could send it to you? it would be easier,

an in answer to your other quetions, you sure could be pregnant and get AF still but I would think it would shop up on HPT by now.

I only have one so far, but I read everything on Google!! google is the best for lots of answers!! hehe

I am new to TTC & Charting etc, and my OPK +'s have been all over the place too!!

I had OPK+ on Day 1 and 2 of my cycle. Then days 9-13, where I think I O'd. Then again on Day 18 and 19. Between and after these +'s they have all been very negative. Weird huh??
