Thanks so much for all your replies,

I am not the only one which is quite reassuring, especially you lucky ones who conceived in months where opk's never gave a positive result!! yey!

As I said in my first post, I really think my ovulation was delayed due to the stress the first month I used opk's, thinking perhaps I never O'd but in fact they probably caused me not to O until well after I had given up testing. ahhhrg!

Now I am starting to know that I need to test more times a day around my expected O day, up to 4 or even five once I see darkening line, it is less stressful. I know I do O (luckily).

Does anybody else count their darkest 2nd line as postive? I find that it does seem to correspond with other indicators ie charting and mc.
I know everyone says a dark line is only positive if it is darker than the control but I beg to differ despite the manufacturers advice.

Looking forward to your opinions.

Gee this is theraputic!

thanks, sassba
