3 test is today at 4pm (cd13 2smu)
4th test is today at 9p (cd13 3mu)

so whats this look like to you guys? i dont get why it got lighter with tonights . the 2nd test in the pic (but first test from today at 11am with fmu and the 3 test in pic but second test of the day littler darker then yesterdays but its hard to see in the pic. iv never tracked my ovulation befor and never had issues with ovulating to my knowledge so i dont no whats going on or what im doing lol.

Your test will look like that because you always have lh in your body and at different levels.Its when your test line is as dark or darker than the control line that its positive.I will try to get a good picture of my test from this month and show you,mine do the same thing.The more concentrated your urine is the better result and the more diluted the urine the lighter your result.

[audiesmommy]

im ready to cry i have no clue what im doing and whats going on so should i test everytime i use the bathroom thats 3 times a day or just with the 2 time since the test cameout the best then? and did i miss the day i o? i bd last night and will tonight . these test are freaking me out ugh

[Erin84]

Please don't be so distressed! It makes me sad seeing you so frustrated <3 If you have shorter (closer to normal) cycles, you COULD have missed O. Your positive may have been one or two tests before your first one. Sometimes tests will get lighter then darker then lighter then darker and eventually go positive, but not necessarily get positive just because they got darker. There are a lot of factors. It's best to test twice a day, sometimes surges don't last a full 24hrs. You can test more if that would put you at ease, but 2x a day is fine. Some women only test 1x/day but I wasn't comfortable with that when I was using OPKs. I'm sorry I can't give you a clear answer... But that's the most honest one I have <3

[JulieMc]

None of them look positive. The test line must be as dark as or darker than the control line. You should test at least twice a day during the time you suspect you might be ovulating. I do it from about CD10 and on til I get a positive. And yes, it is possible to miss your surge..that's why they say to test at least twice a day.

these test where one of the worst ideas i think i have ever had. i couldn't sleep because all i was thinking about is that i didnt bd on cd 11, i did on 12 and 13and will be for the next week lol. every time iv tryd witch would be 3 times iv allways gottin pregnant on the first try, i no alot of people might feel annoyance towards me because of that and im sorry. i no if i did miss it 100 percent that come may 1st im going to be so upset. and wont be taking these test next cycle now i understand why you guys need breaks from stuff like this it can drive a person to be crazy!you guys could be right that i surged on cd 12 but earlyer in the day because on cd11 at night ( when i was up all night with my freind in labor) my overys felt so hard and hurt a little. so if i did surge sometime early day 12 and didnt bd till 10pm ish on day 12 could i have still caught the egg?

i love you ladys for putting up with my rants and complete lack of knowledge on anything

[Erin84]

The surge doesn't mean you're ovulating right then. The surge means that you're ovulating in the next 12-48 hours. If you were to be having an IUI done based off of your own natural surge, it's done 24 hours after you get a positive ovulation test. Once the egg is released, it survives for approximately 48 hours. So let's say you surged at 7am on CD 12. You probably didn't ovulate till something like 7am on CD 13, and had a window something like through 7am CD 14. BUT we can't say for sure that you missed your positive ovulation test, it's just a possibility. How long are your cycles usually?

[audiesmommy]

allways between 28-30 days, even after my daughter and my misscarige ( right after i had my daughter i had 14day ones for 2motnhs but i thnk that was due to my body .) but after my last ectopic i have a 17day one, but after that af it was 28 days witch is now the cycle im in. thank you for helping me i swear im not crazy just getting worked up in this ttc thing this month ugh!

[Erin84]

Ok, you're definitely going to want to keep BDing to totally cover your bases. You could O on CD 14 and have a 14 day luteal period (the time from ovulation to your next period), or you could O on CD 16 and have a 12 day luteal period. Or you could O on CD 13 and have a 15 day luteal period. So who knows. Just keep putting that man of yours to work for now

[audiesmommy]

ok so i didnt mess this up to bad?

how do you girls do this every month , you would have to put me in the nut house.you girls are so much stronger then i am. i think im most upset at the chance i could of screwed it up this month. even thow if i surged on the 11 there is still a chance because i bd on the night of the 12th,but what if i did on cd10 ugh! am i the only crazy one on the planet lol.

[Erin84]

A good handful of us are pretty crazy. I got nutso during the 2ww! Which is now... haha. Chances are that you did just fine this cycle Is is VERY unlikely you would have surged on CD 10 and Od on CD 11. That would give you a 17-day luteal period! And that's really unheard of. Get in a couple more days of BDing even if it's not every day. DH and I do better when we don't BD every day, but he also has count/quality issues.

[audiesmommy]

thank you for the advice ill be testing soon prbly around 4, i did this morning and got a faint line the same line i got last night and on the first test i took lol. my good friend who was due a week after me with my dd has bin having issues ttc #2 to so we went in on a huge stash of these test so we r both texting each other pics allday, booth r df think we r crazy! lol

[ninja_mommy]

All good info has been posted already, just want to say that mine will build up a few days, get close to positive, then go back down and then be positive. They don't always show a straight progression for everyone. Good luck and yes we do go crazy!

[audiesmommy]

both lines r the same!!!!!! i just took one. but i held it in for 5sec insted of 3... did i mess it up or is it a real positive!? i mad sure it wasint past the max line.omg yay i hope this is true

[Erin84]

You could hold that thing in the urine for 3 seconds or a full minute and it's not going to make a difference in the result. Post a pic!!! And take another test in a few hours and see if it gets darker, it's cool to watch But both matching IS considered a positive! YAY!!!!!

[audiesmommy]

i dont no how to get a pic from my phone to the comp normaly i use df phone because it was a cord to connect it. i didnt no since i held it in to long if that could make the test give a false positive. so i see you guys talk about dpo, would tomorrow be 1dpo or would Monday be 1dpo?

[ninja_mommy]

If it's positive today. I would guess you would O tomorrow making Monday 1DPO.

[audiesmommy]

is slight cramping in your hips a sign of o? and ***tmi*** like werid looking discharge like egg whites looking ew sorry for the tmi.

[miraclebaby2011]

If you don't already I would also sugges you temp because all opk do is tell you are gearing up to o. gl

[audiesmommy]

ok so these r all of them dont mind my hand-righting on the side.
1 cd12 8pm
2 cd13 11am
3 cd13 4pm
4 cd13 8pm
5 cd14 10am
6 cd14 3pm
7 cd14 8pm

i think 6 and 7 r positive!!, if so that means i have 12-24 hours to get the egg right? and if so what would be my 1dpo? ( i have never had trouble ovulating befor this time i am tracking it for my safety because of the ectopic we want to no asap when i get pregnant to start looking for an ectopic )
