Hi Sally,
It took me a while to look at this thread again. I think thats good thinking. Trust your body and other signs. I used to do that but became very focussed on OPK results for a while.
I am kinda over them too! They are awful in the first two weeks of your cycle when you are just trying to get a positive instead of relaxing and enjoying the journey (hate using that term, way too oprah, not that I watch it mind you) but then they can be reassuring in the ttw when you are looking for clues from your body, counting back days to figure out how many dpo you are etc.
I think that for me they just add to the anxiety that is already there when ttc. I am having a month off ttc now anyway and I think I wont use them again.
Good luck, your chart looks very promising!

I've read that those tests don't work well for some women. I've also read that getting a line does not mean that you have ovulated just that the hormone they are designed to detect is present. Have you tried temping? At least it's cheap you only need a thermometer & you can track your cycle on FF if you are not already doing so.
I used to use OPK's at around 10-11am, making sure that I wasn't using FMU (as that can give a false ++ apparently). I would never get a ++ if I did them in the afternoon, but funnily enough it always worked in the morning! Perhaps you could try that?
yep
