ok so i bought my first 5 opks 2day!! flippen expensive so these better do the trick!!! Clear blue

i just tested and i have a line, its not as dark at the control line but there is a definite line.

what does this mean?

can i have LH in my system when there is HCG in my system? could this mean that my HCG is down to 0?

just a general explination of how they work would be nice, i wish i had them yesturday because yesturday was a really fertile day for me, i had extreme EWCM and i had partial ferning on my scope...

A lot of women will always have a second line. It is only positive when it is as dark as the control line or darker. Yes an opk can pick up hcg, so if it is still in your system then will have a light line on your opk. There is a lot of info on peeonastick.com about opk's. Looking at your chart I don't think you have O'd yet though, so I would keep using the opk's and see what they do. I always liked to watch the line get darker each day. I know I must be crazy! I just love to see 2 pink lines on something!

i do believe the test line has to be equal to, or darker than the control line.
next time try the Answer Brand--you can get 20 tests for around $20..i think....check with Bobbie on this. i know she uses these.

answer brand is 20 test for 20 dollars but i'm not sure if they are that price where she lives. You can try going on earlypregnancytest.com and they have cheap OPKs on there. I'm one of those women that get two lines the whole month. You always have LH in your system you just get more of it before you O hints the LH surge
