I would guess it would be CD 16...CD 17 seems lighter than the others. I hope you catch that egg!!

What cycle day are you on now? If I had to pick I would say day 16 but it doesn't look quite as dark as the control line to me. But sometimes it is hard for me to tell when I am not looking at the tests on the day they are taken. They seem to fade when they sit for a day, at least mine do.

Do you have a chart to look at? Did you notice more CM on any of those days?

Also just to make sure you know this and if you already do just ignore me. You usually ovulate 24 hours to 2 days after you get a positive OPK, not the same day. I figure you knew this but when I first started using OPKs I didn't understand them at all.

I am not currently charting - but I have in the past and I typically ovulate late in my cycle. I am on CD 20 right now, so yes they did sit for awhile

. It seemed like CD 16's test were the darkest, although the one on CD 15 was pretty dark too. I had o pain on CD 14, 16 & 17, not much fertile cm - I had the most on CD 13 & 14. If I had to guess I would say I o'd on CD 17.
I am trying to figure out why I am ovulating so late; my cycles are around 26/27 days and I start to spot on CD 23/24 - so if this is the case my luteal phase doesn't seem to be sufficient. Any tips on how to fix this? I did start drinking Rasberry tea this month, but not very much . . . . I do have three healthy children, so obviously I can get pregnant, it just seems that as time goes on it gets harder and harder (but I am only 29, so age isn't the prob here). I haven't been on BC for over a year, but we weren't trying, now we are and I just want to catch that egg!! Thanks Ladies!

I just wanted to add, make sure you don't use FMU to take your OPKs. OPKs are designed to be used with urine from throughout the day, usually mid-morning or mid-afternoon. You want to make sure it's concentrated, but not FMU.

Good luck! I agree with CD 16 as well!
