Ovuation Tests help pls!!!!!

[Jezabel]

I have used the ovulation tests - the one u pee on and I havent gotten much of a result from them. I am starting to think I dont Ovulate as I dont get the EWCM and also no results on the strip test thing.

Does those ovulation strips work for everyone else??

Thanks

Sometimes OPK's dont work for everyone, personally they work for myself.

What days of your cycle are you using them, what times of the day and how long is your cycle?

If you not long came off birth control your body may still be readjusting.
You need to use the opk's twice a day from cd11-12 onwards best times are 11am or 2pm and 5pm or 7pm around then never use with fmu.
If you are not testing twice a day you could easily miss the surge good luck

thought i would just jump in here, OPKs seem to be working for me i will have nothing then as time progresses the line gets darker ect until darker than the control line, my question is does this mean i AM ovulating or just producing the hormone to help ovulation??
geez i hope i am ovulating:confused:

[ringneck]

if it's darker or as dark as the control line you can safely assume you are ovulating.

I have found they work for me well. Poor DH saw one with two lines last month and he thought that there was a baby on the way.

Oh Shaz !! What a shame. Good luck this month.

Jezabel - does the control line come up? I don't normally get much EWCM either, and found I have a really short surge as I completely missed it this month , and only got 1 positive last month. I also take my temps so I know if I ovulate or not.

Oh great news! i thought i wasnt O, but I thought I would keep testing as well u never know, as my AF last cycle went a little mad and I wasnt really sure when my first day of the cycle was. So it got closer to the wknd and the line got darker and darker, then on saturday in the arvo i got the darkest line yet, so we BD and then tested again the next day it it was still pretty dark but not as dark as the day before.

Can u get real dark lines for more than a day??? :D

thanks for all ur replies ladies!

You can get two positives in a row. Depends on when your surge is. The OPK predicts 24-36hrs ahead so it is possible.

I had my positive from OPK last night. Now I am in the tww.
