On the box it said the test is invalid if there is no 2nd line... I haven't seen the faintest of lines yet and I've tested fro 6 days. Tried afternoon, evening, FMU... nothing. Is it because I'm so far away from O'ing that there is no line? When will I see it get the least bit of color?

It's really hard to say... because there is no temperature information on your charts. I would really be stabbing in the dark if I gave you any opinion at this point. Do you know when you usually O... like which CD? How far out from O'ing are you?

I unfortunately have no idea I came off BCP in April and have been irregular, and work shift work so to bed and up at different times or I would be temping. Maybe next cycle I will try and temp just to see... I got my OPK's off the net so maybe they are just real cheapies? My cycles seem to be following my last pattern coming off the pill, so this cycle may be around 40 days. I thought I'd see just a very faint line at least. Will keep trying though

PS Coley - I hope this is your BFP month, I've been following your other thread!!!

Aww aren't you sweet!! I hope this is the month too!!

I use the internet OPK's too and I haven't had any trouble with them. Of course, as we know, everyone is different.

It is possible that since you've only come off BCP in April, that your body is still getting itself back to normal hormone levels. Sometimes it can take a little bit.

As for shift work... one of the girls on the TTC #1 board works shift work too and does temping. Her name is Casey (prayingforbaby1). I'm sure she'd be happy to answer any questions you might have about temping while having varying waking hours. She's awesome! I owe my EWCM to her this month!!

I think the problem is you are coming off of bcp. Your last cycle was really long. It may be a while before you ovulate. I would take one every other day until you start seeing something faint. If you start seeing ewcm maybe test again. I use cheapies all the time and have never had a problem with them.

Hang in there. If you want to temp just take your temp when you first wake up, even if your temp isn't consistently taken at the same time every day. You still may be able to see a temp shift on your chart.

There was a faint line on my OPK's today! Yay that! And I decided to temp even if my hours are funny, I'm just temping when I wake up for the first time after having a long enough sleep. And, on my night shifts, after I go to bed I will just set my alarm temp, then go back to sleep. I will just be darn excited to find out if I actually O!
