I have been using some IC Ovulation tests and I get rather frustrated with them. Is the line as dark or darker.. It was almost as dark and now its stark white. Too much for my TTC brain to handle! LOL
Does anyone use the CBE Ovulation tests not the monitor just the digi tests? They work ok? Im thinking maybe just seeing the cute lil smiley face will make it so much easier and not as frustrating.
I have used some store brand OPKs but none of the ones that you have mentioned. I am sure it might be easier to figure out when you are in the range for "cathing that eggie" time when you get a smile face instead of comparing color of two lines (i would go bonkers )

Becca... You might have missed your surge... How many times are you testing a day? I would test once a day.. until the line started to get darker.. than I would test 3-4 times... depending on how dark the line was... You might have caught your surge comming down.. and than when your test was white.. it was over.. I would start BD!!!
I agree with what Kary said. Also, the digital ones are the best by far! I have used every OPK out there and the little smiley faces are awesome. Buy them on ebay, much cheaper than in the store.

Yea, but I tested again tonight around 7 and its back darker again. Not a positive but darker. Maybe urine too diluted at noon? Ive been testing 3x a day. I find myself just staring at it thinking the power of my eyes will make it get darker. But with my last couple cycles being 35/36 days long I figure I should O between the 5th and 10th so maybe Im not out just yet. DH yelling Im gonna kill him before the weekend is over!
They say not to test OPK's with FMU.... Mid day and then again between 5pm - 8pm is what has worked for me. You are a prime candidate for the smiley faces... no guesswork with the lines I would start BD'ing every other day.
