I THINK with those the test line is supposed to be the same color. If you have not o'ed I would say that you are very close. I wish that I could help you more but I really don't know anything about them.

Good Luck!!

BTW I sure do miss you!

As temping as it is you are not actually supposed to compare strips and they are invalid after like 10 minutes. If you look at them past the time they could show a false positive.

I have had a hard time reading them myself as it is often so close in color I can't determine is it actually positive or not. I have also heard that Clomid can give you false postives, so watch out for that. I bet you will ovulate either today or the next couple of days from looking at your chart. How long are your cycles normally? Do you check CM? I would compare all your resources and not rely on those OPK's, just use them as a back up. A lot of girls have had issues with them too.

Good luck!

Sandy ~ I miss you too! I hope the July DDC is doing well. I haven't dropped in but often wonder how you girls are. I know you are going through alot so try to stay positive & think of that wonderful growing baby inside you!

Alexa ~ Thank you for your description of OPKs. I was weary to use them but my cycles have been all over the place since we lost our baby. I use to be a 28 dayer but after the m/c I had a 33, then 38 & finally 40 which at that point I went running to my dr. He put me on Clomid. I'm on CD 19 today & if I take an average of my cycles, I would say that I am scheduled to O on CD 21, Monday. I use to have text book CM, w/ EWCM on the day before & day of O BUT Clomid is known to screw w/ the CM. I had EWCM a couple of days ago but don't trust it. Thanks for the help! We'll see!
