OPK confusion

Eleysia · #1 April 2nd, 2008, 10:01 AM

Ok so everyday when I get home from work I do my OPK. It says read the results after 5min. I typically walk away and come back later to read it. Well unfortunatly I dont have any pics of my others with me, but I have to share this one. What do you guys think? Is it a fluke, or am i just starting/ending my surge? This is the first somewhat dark line Ive had so far post m/c. I had O pains this weekend for sure. They were very strong. Im just not sure what is going on with the OPK.

Comments welcome.....

I'm not too sure, following a m/c anything can really happen. And you might not even O the first cycle.

I hope someone else can help you!!!

I hate opk's, because I can't ever tell with them. Sorry! I stopped using them because I could never read them right.

Bummer I wonder if Bobbie or Britt know. They always seem to have very informative answers. Where are ya girls?

Unfortunately, I'm not an OPK person! I don't know, I'm sorry honey!

lmbo. Oh well. I look at it this way. If I'm anywhere near o'ing, DH and I dtd this morning, if I don't start AF in a few weeks or so I'll test. If AF comes then Ill try again and know that my body is back to normal. Either way it will be good news. Im going to be positive instead of being sad im not pg anymore. Thanks ladies for trying I always appreciate you all.

I'd go ahead and dtd tomorrow, too. just in case. G/l Sorry I wasn't much help earlier!!

That is a positive for sure

I would say you are about to O if that is the first + you have seen. I get +'s for up to seven days with that brand. I usually O 1-2 days after the first positive. At least that is what my temps show. My other signs like cervix usually show O 2-3 days after the first +.

If you BDed then.... I gotta say....

Welcome to the 2 week wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!

Bobbie girl, I love how upbeat you always are. I wish i knew you IRL! I POAS again yesterday and I dont have the pic with me, but the line was a lil lighter... so i hope to god that im in the 2WW but I dont want to get my hopes up.

The control in on the left in the pic and test on right! Its not positive yet, i bet in a few days you will get a positive. But it could be you just missed your surge. I know when i get my surge i use second morning urine and it works good.

I agree with bobbie, even though part of the line is lighter, the darkest part of your strip is equal to the control line. And that, my friend is positive!! Welcome to the 2WW

When did you take the picture? If it was within the time limit i would say its positive.

I have noticed with that brand that once it starts to dry the test line gets much darker.
Could me just me.

Really? hmm i havnt noticed that. I took the pic the next day but when i checked it in the time limit it was the same color. I have my lil collection layed out day by day so i can watch it progress. I dunno now lol. Im sure it didnt change though. Oh man why cant this just be easy lmbo!!
