Is this positive..

or almost positive? This is a Clearblue OPK.

It definitely looks better than yesterday's but I'm not 100% sure it is positive.

I just had lost a chemical pregnancy on February 17th. The OB says I should sit this month out. What do you ladies think? I really want to be pregnant again but I want a healthy sticky bean the next time.

Thanks ladies!

Wow...that's a close one! I guess it depends. The opks I use say that if any portion of the line is as dark or darker than the control line that you should consider it a positive result. If that's what your instructions say, then, I'd say it's most likely positive.

If the entire line is supposed to be as dark or darker than the control line, then I'd say that it's not quite positive. What time did you take the test? That can make a difference, too. I know many women that start testing in the late morning and late afternoon once it gets that close. That way they don't miss the LH surge. ( I on the other hand get at least 2 days of positive opks before it goes back to negative

)

I hope this helps. Hopefully someone more familiar with this brand can give you a better idea. G/L ...KUP!!!! I hope you get that BFP. Did the doctor say why you should wait? I haven't heard that after a chemical PG, but, I can't say I know a lot about TTC after them.

I"ve never taken the clear blue - onviously they wouldn't work for me, cause I would say YAY -- haha!! Get a regular test and test tomorrow

If it's not a positive, then I would say you are VERY close!!! My OPK's get progressively darker- keep testing til you get a definite negative, but start BDng NOW!!!

She didn't really say. She just said that I should wait a month but waiting is hard. We've been trying for a while now and we really want to be pregnant already.

Now that's it dried it really doesn't look positive to me but it does look close. I hate these darn OPK's. I was using the digital ones but they were out of them yesterday so I got these instead. I have a really hard time reading these.

in my very very long use of opks and clearblue, that is CLOSE but it's not positive. I would think the next one you take, will be positive. G/L

I think it's close enough to BD!

Its really close to a +! My doctor said they say to wait for dating purposes because they use your LMP to calculate your due date but if you know when you O'd you wont need that! Also all it would take is a simple ultrasound to date it even if you didnt know when you O'd!!

Good Luck!!

I say go have "fun" just in case!

Amanda C · #11 March 4th, 2009, 05:50 PM

you know what I tested at the same time today and it's clearly negative now. What does that mean? I think I'm on cycle day 14 or 15 at the latest.

tobynscarlett · #12 March 4th, 2009, 05:57 PM

That means you have probably already ovulated. Mine get darker and then light within about 24 hrs, so the actual surge is really pretty short. Just going by my own personal experience, I would say that the test you posted a picture of was a +.

Amanda C · #13 March 4th, 2009, 07:20 PM

We may have missed it then. Dh is on nights and got home really, really late last night. We were planning on getting together tonight.

klt · #14 March 4th, 2009, 07:32 PM

Test again tomorrow. See what it does. Sometimes a test can be funky... I hope you didn't miss it. But, if you did, at least you know where your cycle is so that next month you can plan on successfully TTC :biggrin:

Oh, and don't give up on tonight...You may not have O'd!!!
