I hate when you are right!!!! I'm not sure, but maybe.
I watched the color recede on my opks, but recently switched to another brand. (the earlypregnancytest.com kind) I think they might be more sensitive. Because I've had two positives 2 days apart from eachother. Both were with FMU. However the one's in between weren't even close to positive. I'm not sure what's going on. My temps say i havn't o'd yet.
I'm really hoping it's not pregancy hormone!!!

I'm not Angela, nor am I an OPK expert but I thought they were inaccurate if you used them w/ FMU?

! Try again with afternoon urine

[alicenwonderland]

technically my FMU is afternoon urine. I work nights, so I take an opk when i first get home at 8 am with a full bladder. then again when I wake from sleep at 4 in the afternoon. Only the 4pm tests have been positive.

[Mod-LadyCoconut]

it's my understanding that you don't want it so concentrated, so if you're only taking them with urine with a full bladder from being held throughout your shift or when yo'uve been sleeping for nearly 8 hours then it's not going to be as accurate as if you used your second pee of the day.

Yeah you don't want to use concentrated urine....I think they say the max time is 4 hours between pee breaks?

sorry hun sounds like your doing exactly what I did I got all excited my body bounced back quickly only to get like 5 days in a row (maybe more) of positive OPKs.

I ended up getting AF then was all back to normal after that. (minus the "AF" post end of pregnancy cleaning bleeding).

oh and mine came and went also! NO idea why but it just did.

sux but at least the pressure is off for now. Thanks for the info, Angela, even though I didn't want to hear it
it really amazes me the difference between the different brands of opks. I guess the secret is to be consistant. I ususally know better than to switch partway through a cycle, but my usual supplier was out of opks!

Angela- if you don't mind, I would love to see your post m/c chart. Maybe it'll help me understand mine better.

I was thinking i might not ovulate this cycle because of my m/c, but i just ended up Oing later than usual so maybe this is what's happening with you too? Also, I took an HPT not too long ago to make sure it was completely negative because i too was afraid of my body not getting rid of it all. I had some tissue come out once though so i was already pretty sure. Don't be discouraged just yet.

Here it is- globetrotter Ovulation Charts
I had the opposite happen---I was all happy and saying it got a + opk and no one told me---then I figured it out and people said "yeah I was thinking that but didnt' want to tell you"....I wish they would have ...so thats why I did tell you (I wasn't sure it was the right move or not I have to admit).

[alicenwonderland]

Thanks Angela! I am very glad you said something. I was just so excited it was hard to accept. But now i'm glad, because i didn't have my usual fertility signs. Who knows maybe i'll o five days after that spotting like normal. Thanks again.
