I've been MIA the past few days because I've been sick with a head cold, but I'm feeling much better now. I've kept up with my OPK's and we've actually managed to keep BD'ing despite my being sick. 
I got CH's today... but my OPK's are still super dark.
I'm not sure if my O is actually being delayed and the CH's are from high temps due to the head cold (I did have a low grade fever on Wednesday, but it never got super high) or what.
DH says "As long as your tests are that dark, we keep doing it"

That's the plan... And it's been working remarkably well as of late, if you catch my drift!

Okay... it's for sure. I haven't O'd yet.
Last night we were watching TV kinda late and Danny was tired, so he went to bed and I stayed up to finish watching Real Time. By the time I came to bed, it was about 12:30 or so.
I went to go pee before bed and I figured I'd check my CM just to see what it was looking like. I saw it was stretching... so I figured "Okay... maybe I am still waiting." I climbed in bed and Danny woke up rearin' to go!!  Had some AWESOME late night BD!!
This morning my temp has crashed to 96.99, so I'm pretty sure that's a Pre-O dip! I'm pretty freakin' excited about our chances because Danny is all kinds of frisky! I wanted to get up and make coffee this morning and it was like being at the drive-in with a 17 year old boy! Hands everywhere!!

Here's today's...
When I first checked it, it was really light... So I was like "Okay, we're finally done!" Two minutes later, I showed it to DH and he was like "Well, that looks just as thick and dark as they have been." 
This is freakin' crazy! Is that another positive? Please... tell me. Because we're not sure we should trust our eyes anymore!

That looks pos to me. Do your OPKs get darker than the control line or do your pos look like the pic u just posted? This pass cycle I had 4 pos! Just keep on, keeping on...

It depends... I've had months where they've been waaay darker than the control line and other times where they've only gotten almost as dark as the control line.
This is my first full month using this brand as well, so I don't have much of a history to go on and I know some girls react differently to different tests.
If I really had to be picky, I'd say that CD 15's was for sure +, then I got sick with that head cold, so my body said "Hold up" and my LH just kinda hovered, maybe? Then I think after I got better, my body started gearing up again.
Yesterday's OPK was for sure darker than the control line. This one is really dark, but not as dark as yesterday's.

I'm guessing that too... that you body was gearing up to O but then decided to wait. Since today's OPK was a little lighter than yesterday I bet you will be will continue to get lighter. Times like this is when it's nice to have the smiley OPKs for confirmation .
I hope you O soon!

I've never used the digi OPK's, they're soooo expensive!
I think they will start fading out now too. DH asked what we need to do and I said BD for the next 2 days. I'm thinking my temp should head up tomorrow. We'll BD today and tomorrow and I think we'll be well covered.
If that's not enough BD'ing... then I dunno what is!!

I've never tried the digi's either.... so far the Wondfo's never failed me (knock on wood) but at the times when it's hard to determine pos or neg is when I would like them .
