TTC - Pos or Neg OPK? Please help :(

[kellie89]

Hi guys,

I'm new to this so bear with me
DH and I are currently TTC, we have two healthy children, we used Met to concieve them but now after a few months back on Met and no O I've been precribed Clomid.
I usually have a 28 days cycle (when actually ovulating)- First day of AF was 27/8 (CD1) and I took Clomid from CD3-CD8.
On CD8 I had brown spotting then again on 10 and 11.
Cervix is mid-high, relatively soft and slightly open

I've done OPK's as my Dr suggested but I'm really not sure as to what a 'positive' result is.
Anyway, theres a pic of OPK's here from CD10 TO CD12 (today).
Do any of these look positive? I am new to this and SOOOO confused

Yes, the two from yesterday, and today, are positive. The first one from CD10 is negative. So, you should definitely have sex tonight and tomorrow to maximise your chances of conceiving.

I got this from the net -

''What is a positive, I have two lines???
This can be a bit tricky. Since an OPK does not “read” the same as a HPT. A line is NOT always a positive line on an OPK. You will need your test line to be darker than or as dark as the control line. A faint test line only indicates some LH being picked up, not your surge. So keep testing until your test line gets as dark as the control line.

I have my positive, now what?
Once you get detect your surge, you can ovulate 12 – 36 hours after your positive result. (Bear in mind you can wait as long as 48 hours.) Intercourse (BD-Baby Dancing) can take place the day of the positive OPK; you can skip the next day and BD after that. Although you shouldn’t really miss more than two consecutive days of intercourse when Trying to Conceive (TTC). Of course there is nothing wrong with every day either as long as your partner does not have sperm health issues.''

So from that I would agree with PP and say the first is a negative and the rest are positive.

Thanks,
I thought the CD11 and CD12 were + but I'm new to using OPK's and I know that result varies on the brand of test. These are First Response.
DH and I BD'd last night and will tonight and tomorrow to be safe.

I kept testing as I wasn't sure if it really was a positive.
The pamphlet with the tests say that the test line has to be the same as the control line or darker and I really wasn't sure if perhaps the test lines weren't quite dark enough.

Also, I haven't had brown spotting during O ever before, would that be just because of the Clomid? Or is it a good sign of O'ing?
My only concern is that I haven't had any EWCM at all, although I do know that sometimes Clomid effects CM?
I have had very clear wet CM though. All very confusing :s
