You can see on my chart when I took my OPKs and the results. They correspond with this pic. CD13 was the middle (3rd) test and the darkest (although # 2 was close), but it was also taken at 5pm, 4 hours later than I normally take them b/c I wasn't home.

So, I *think* I've ovulated, but the OPKs say no. How much do you trust them? I try to not pee for 4 hours like it says, but it's been very hard for me some days. And my darkest OPK came on the day I think I O'd, but wasn't positive, but it was also taken 4 hours late. So maybe I missed it? Do they usually get progressively darker til O, then progressively lighter?

Just wondering how good they are, b/c I won't do them next month since they are so expensive. Oh, and I'm using the Target brand b/c they are like half the price...does that matter?

(and I know I can't rely on these results b/c they were sitting more than 10 minutes, lol, but they are all relative to each other so you can see they got darker then lighter)

Thanks!

My guess is that you O'd CD 13 and if you get a high temp tomorrow you should get your CH. Tests 2 and 3 look positive to me, but of course you can see them better in person than what a picture would show. I found that mine were completely blank, then one day a very faint line, the next morning a faint line, then that afternoon it was positive. The next morning and afternoon it was still positive, then that night it got a bit faint. The next day was very faint and the line gone by that afternoon.

So, mine get progressively darker, but I think everyone is a little bit different. I bought mine off ebay, they are cheap if you don't get the midstream kind. For me they corresponded with my temps and was nice to know a bit ahead of time when O was going to occur since I'm so irregular. For me they're worth it, if you're a regular person you may be ok without them. Good luck!

I am really confused. You don't have your opks marked on your chart. I think CD13 looks very positive and looks totally right on. I think you o'd CD 14 and that lines up perfectly with your opks. I think FF is going to give you cross hairs tomorrow and if it doesn't I would change your analysis method to the Fertility Awareness method. You can do that by going to Analysis>>Tuning/Override and then selecting Fertility Awareness method. I often find the FAM more accurate than FF method.

The #3 test looks positive to me..........I have never used OPK's though.

The tests in the pic are all dry (pic taken yesterday) so the lines are ALL darker than they were 5 min after I took the tests. But you can see Day 13 was darkest. I got my CH on CD14 today. If I change it to advanced, I get CD13. Not sure what I should do or if it even really matters which day. Our BDing was good for both, I tend to think it was CD13 b/c I had cramps, but then again, the CD13 OPK was taken LATE in the day where I normally take them at 1 so it would make sense that I missed the surge and it was really + that day making CD14 right for O.
