is this a positive?

.kristen. · #1 December 25th, 2008, 11:48 AM

Ok, I'm not good with this whole OPK situation. I got my tests yesterday and I started taking them. Can you ladies help me...is this a positive test? We BD'ed last night, 23rd, and 21st. BUT...I started bleeding again as of the 24th really heavy. I know my body is really abnormal so I'm ready for anything. Some people say that you can't get pregnant during a period and one says you can. I talked to my ob and they said I could. The only thing is, by 6pm the bleeding is gone until the next morning, so we take advantage of it. I think that is what causes me to bleed more in the morning. ANYWAYS...any help will be appreciated!

THANK YOU! YOU ARE A BLESSING!

I don't know about these things and if they aren't pregnancy tests they just confuse me, because these test have to be the same color or darker than the control line. CONFUSING for me! Now I gotta get

Definitely looks positive to me!

I'm the odd one out, I would say that it doesn't look quite positive to me. I would test again tomorrow and would bet that tomorrow's is positive.

Don't worry Alicia, I thought it was negative too. But my husband said it was the same color, I didn't think it was as bright as the other one.

OK...This is my first cycle using these,too. And, I would have thought that was positive. But, it's still a little lighter than the other one (I'm assuming the control is on the right). The positive OPKs that I've gotten the last two days are definitely darker than the control lines. I don't want to tell you that it's not positive, and ruin your chances of getting a BFP, but, I wouldn't be surprised if you get a darker line in the next day or two. Just my opinion. Can't hurt to keep trying, though...then you won't miss it

Good luck. Let me know if you test again and get a darker line. What have your temps been like?

My temp yesterday was 97.9 and today was 97.2 today I did get a little bit darker line, so we have to bd today too. Hopefully this will be the time that counts. Hey we can learn together about these OPK's they should really give you better examples in the directions. There is only a little difference in yesterdays and today's tests.

yea, i'm agreeing with Alicia, that didn't look positive to me. my positive strips, the test line is darker than the control line. that one looks a tad lighter still. you should get a positive tonight. test around 3pm. G/L

I am going to say it is close, but not quite there yet. It is possible you caught the beginging or end of the surge though. OPK's are a lot of fun...but really hard to judge sometimes. Lots of baby

to you!

#2 is definitely positive. Even if half of the test line is as dark or darker than the control line it's a +. Good luck catching that egg!

Do they not have OPKs that say just say Positive when they are positive and Negative if they are negative? They seem more frustrating that pregnancy tests.

Or maybe we can get OPK's that say:
It's Baby Makin' Time!
Sorry Try Again Tomorrow
Better shave those legs before your husband gets home!
I'm sorry captain but I just need a few more hours/days

Or pregnancy tests that say:
Congratulations, it's a baby!
Don't worry it might still be early yet!
Stork Delivery on it's way
Remember Practice Makes Perfect.

Can you imagine how easy it would be to tell your SO with one of those?
