OPK Questions...

[Jbelle]

OK, so I know that if the test line is lighter than the control line it means that its negative... I took 2 yesterday that showed very light lines. Then I took another today that showed a dark line, not as dark as the control but almost.

Does this mean that I am ovulating soon? Does the hormone peak slowly like that, so that if I test early tomorrow it will probably/might be darker??

Ahhhh the joys of this whole process lol

Thats my understanding of it. Or you could peek tonight.

It means you will get your LH surge VERY soon! I did mine yday and they were faint, this morning dark nearly a positive and then at lunchtime definately a positive.

When you are nearing so close to a positive OPK it's best to test say 3 times a day or atleast twice as you might miss the surge and never really get a true positive OPK. THis happened to me last month as I was testing daily and I missed the surge, so this month I have been doing 3 a day around O time and its proving to show the surge much better.

Goodluck! I would do another tonight to compare it against your one earlier today.

Good luck and :fingerscrossed: you catch your lil eggie!!! :goodvibes:

JBelle, I got a fairly dark OPK on CD7 this month - day after AF. I have no idea why.... I didnt have any corralating temp decrease and increase though, so I've kept testing since then (CD13 for me today) and I have just seen my OPK's surge today and it is definatley a positive, so just be careful that you are not still to ovulate if you normally ovulate later. Might be worth continuing to test just incase. Goodluck!
