I just got my first negative OPk! It was dark as ever at 10am now at 3pm it sooo light. WOOHOOO I am gonna O if I didn't already!

Thanks for sharing my good news with me


Now back to your regularly scheduled topics......

Hey Bobbie,
I don't get it...I thought you wanted a dark line? I am so confused, please explain.
Thanks Girl!

[*Bobbie*]

Well.... the deal with OPK's is....

You want to see a dark line one day. NOT five or six! LOL

Then when the LH surge, hormones that show ovulation, go away you should O.

Usually O is confirmed by a rise in body temp.

If you look at my chart...my temp went up two days ago but I was still showing the LH surge.

It was REALLY baffling me. I was also getting post- O body signals... like cervix position.

Your cercvix usually goes up high and feels soft and open. Mine felt firm this morning and my cervical mucus was dry at first. Now it is high-soft-open again and CM is wet. Those are good things right now combined with the negative OPK.

Does any of that make sense?? LOL

If not I promise to explain better

So you haven't Oed yet even though you had positive OPKs and EWCM? You are just now getting ready to O? So you were dark this morning meaning you had a surge and now are light meaning that it will happen anytime now...is that right? The surge comes pre ovulation and then goes away quickly? So by having no line it means you may O any minute? Is all this right if so you NEED to get home Girl and go for the gold!

im not sick of it....it has actually helped me a lot....however im pretty dry now no ewcm(sry if tmi) so you think i ovulated on monday the day i got the positive test?

[Shaustin]

LOL Bobbie!! You are the OPK Queen!! YAY, for ovulation!!

[..Jessica..]

WOOHOO!!!! Get BD right now Girl!!!!!

[MinDB]

you are quite helpful on the topic, Bobbie!!
so, you want to dark lines which means you are going to O, but then, when you see a negative again after that, you should O very soon if you haven't already, right?

[*Bobbie*]

Pretty much! You are a great CLASS.... LMAO

Once you see a positve OPK you *should* O 12-72 hours later. Most normal people (yeah why would *I* expect to be among the normal people) only see a short surge and one + OPK. My body was really messed up and surging for 5-6 days. I am pretty sure I didn't O before because the surge was still going strong.

Does that part make sense?

[MinDB]

makes sense to me! thanks!

[*Judy*]

Alrighty! I think I got it. Thanks Bobbie.

[*Bobbie*]

Good! Glad I could help.
