opk questions

[bjk2924]

hi all,
I am currently on day 21 of a 31 day cycle and have been using opk's for the last 7 days but have not had a positive result. Do any of you know why that could be??
I think I o'd sometime in the last 7 days due to cm and cramping but am not to sure. cm is now all gone but tonight have had lower cramping again. Have I not o'd or did I o early and these new craps could possibly be implantation??
thanks heaps

when i fell pregnant with my first i did not get a positve result as such but the line did go darker and then lighter again. i think that you're meant to test twice a day, and i only tested once a day (still do). I have gotten positive results though the last few months.

so did the line change intensity at any stage in the last few days?

[bjk2924]

no i only tested once a day and they got lighter but never any darker than the control line. I really am begining to wonder if I am loosing my mind, these tummy cramps are starting to confuse me.

so you used them from day 14 to 21. when did they start getting lighter? what day was the darkest line on?

[bjk2924]

they were the darkes around day 16-17 but still not the same as or darker than the control line. still getiing low adbo cramping so no idea what is going on.

So you could have ovulated before Day 14 or at Day 16/17 or you could be yet to ovulate. I know I've ovulated on Day 23 of a 32 day cycle.

Some women don't get a high enough level of LH to register on the OPK and sometimes you might have a cylce where you don't ovulate.

Try & relax and see what happens over the next few days.
