I dont know if I have a defined positive. I keep looking at it from a couple days ago and half of it is as dark as the control line and half of it isn't... But now my OPKs are lighterish. But still.... I'm not gonna start my progesterone for a while. Maybe not till I get a BFP... I mean I had a 45 day cycle last cycle and they just have been screwy. So I have no idea what my body is doing. I guess just keep BD and hope for the best. Don't ya guys think?

The way you described your OPK's, I really do think you got your positive. It sounded exactly like mine with the Wondfo's. The purpose of the progesterone is to 1. make sure you have enough of the hormone for implantation to occur 2. Strengthen the uterine lining for healthy implantation. I'm not sure what the pros and cons would be to waiting for a BFP to start it... if it were me, I'd probably start it sooner rather than later.

Kayla with your PCOS your body can have elevated LH levels which can cause your OPK's to look almost positive even when your not going to O. I would continue using the OPK's. Did you have any other signs of ovulation like EWCM or O pains? ((HUGS)) I know how frustrating this stuff is.

Thats exactly what Progesterone is for but with my weird cycles for the last 3 months Im nervous Im gonna stop ovulation if I take it. I kinda was basing my OPK off of how some of it was as dark but the whole line wasnt... Is that what Im supposed to do?

Well on cycle day 13 I had a lot of CM thats and OPK and it was almost positive... So cycle day 14 I got my maybe hopefully positive. But ever since then I had had quite a bit of CM still... Is it supposed to continue? Haha. Sorry you guys are much more experienced then me... 2 out of 3 of my pregnancies were not planned. So now that I HAVE to keep track it can be overwhelming. I also did have cramps around that time as well... But I hope it wasnt all in my head.

CM does increase when pg, not sure if it does with elevated LH levels due to PCOS.

Tracking your cycles can be very confusing. That is why for piece of mind I always spend the extra money for the smiley face so I knew exactly when I was ovulating.

My old ob always told me to start the progesterone after I got a BFP. That is what I did this time around also.
