Alright I took one this morning about 10 am. It was not positive. I took another one tonight about 8pm and it was lighter. My question is does it matter what time you take them (like you pregnancy test) . Could I have already ovulated. it would be great if I did because dh and I dtd Sat , Sunday and Monday night ..Any imput would help thanks !

#1 is the test I took Yesterday at 11 or so
#2 is the one I took yesterday at 8
#3 is the one I took Today at 8:30
I am going to take another one at 11 :30 or so. do you think it is positive. I DO!!!!

Well it does sort of, lemme give you a quicky run down what I've learned...

We surge in the am, but it doesn't show up until the afternoon so the best suggested times are between 11am-11pm to po-OPK-s.

However, if you've been drinking allot of water thru the day you will have lighter test sticks. So if you've not peed in a while it will probably be darker with the more concentrated the LH is in your system kinda like hpt's.

The closer I get to O time, I will poa'opk 2-3 times a day... just to be sure I catch it

It's possible to miss it. Some people have really short LH surges. I happen to have long LH surges (3 days) so I only do one a day. But if you have a short LH surge then you should do two. I think the best time to use an OPK is around 2PM.

Thanks everyone. this is my first cycle after my miscarriage. Normally my period is 28-29 days. but my period did not come until 38 days . So That is why I am not sure if and when I o'd . I might of missed it but then again I might not of.I am going to test tomorrow and see what it says. If it is lighter than the first test I took today I will say that I already o'd and and I can count down to testing !!!

[.:Shortcake:.]

The last one looks positive or very close to it...

[BeccaM]

I agree last one looks like it could be + or just about... I hated OPK's so I switched to a CBE Fertility Monitor... The stress of trying to figure out if it was a + or - or did I miss the surge was just too stressful.

I would get to BD'ing just in case. Good luck and catch that eggie!!

Thanks Ladies .. I think it is positive I took another one today at 11:30 and it was the same. I am pretty sure I will be DTD for the next couple nights !!! I am so happy That I am ovulating now. I was worried that I was going to ovulate this weekend and we are going to be gone camping with family and 5 kids.. I guess you can say God was on my side this month .....SO let me get this straight when is shows up positive that means that I should be ovulating within 12-48 hours right ?

[luvmykids623]

That last one looks positive to me, but I've never used opks. They're too confusing for me, so I use the CBE fertility monitor.

[stargatemommy]

I like the CBE Digital OPKs with the smiley faces. They a lots more money though...

[ldovey83]

Today's definitely looks pos.. Get to Bding and good luck..

Thanks again Ladies. I just took another one and it was negitive .Can it go from positive to negitive that fast. ?Does that mean I missed it ??? We DTD Sat Sunday and Monday. We skipped last night .
