    opk confusing! Any ideas?

    I started using Opk's this cycle 4 days ago.
    The first 2 days gave me 2 feint lines. I assumed that they would get darker until I got a positive.
    Yesterday the second line completely disappeared.
    Today I had some cramping and EWCM but still no sign of a second line.

    Do you think I missed my opportunity or I still might get a positve OPK soon?
    Any feedback appeciated

    opks can be very confusing and dont work for some people. i have read that you get EWCM 24-48 hours from o. you should DTD when you see EWCM though cause the little spermies can live in it until O day. the most fertlile time is 2days before and day of O for best chance of conception. i dont know if you will get another good reading from your opks though. my first cycle i got some positives and didnt concieve second cylce no positives and did concieve. good luck! :-)

    Thanks Hollo. Previously, they have worked so perfectly it really confused me. I have felt (what I have thought as) serious o pains, but still neg. opk. How wonderful it will be if I am lucky enough to conceive anyway . I intend to keep up the bding even though the neg. opk is a bit of a downer. I haven't been temping properly this cycle, so I can't rely on that either.

    yeah, i just kept bding every 2nd day even if OPK said negative. and i really started to get depressed with all the charting and negative OPKs too, so my chart wasnt that reliable the cylce i concived didnt temp some days. just keep DTD and you never know your luck!
