I realized that i have no idea where I'm at in my cycle. I know I had thick EWCM this cycle, but can't recall when that was. If I had to guess, AF is due any time. I mentioned this to DH and he demanded that I take a test. lol. I thought I had one Clearblue HPT left. I found it, but it wasn't in it's box. I about had a friggin heart attack when a 2nd line popped up right away. I found the box because I didn't know which was the test line and which was the control line.

.....it was an OPK Doh! BUT....now I'm wondering, if AF is about to start, would there still be a line on an OPK? It's not as dark as the control line, but it's not super super faint either.

We use condoms and pull out, FYI. Probably 50/50.

You can use OPK's at HPT's. I forget the theory behind it but for some people it works and others it does not.

I would get a FRER

BFN on FRER I only held my pee for about 2 hours, but I'm sure I'm not pregnant. It was mostly DH's reaction that got me curious, he was being a bigger POAS pusher than you guys! lol.

On the bright side, I did get a 3 pack of tests, so I can save the other 2 for when I really need them!

I still have no idea where I'm at in my cycle....for like the first time since before I started even thinking about TTC! I'm 95% sure I've already ovulated based on the CM I had. I may still be like 7 DPO....not really sure. When you're a SAHM it's hard to keep your days in order, lol!!!

an opk is only positve when the test line is as dark as or darker than the control line. you will always get a second line on an opk. i used an opk as hpt when i was preggo and the test line was the same darkness as the control line

does ur dh want to knock u up sooner rather than later bre!?

Aww I was kinda hoping you were ! Hahaha it is impossible to keep track of days staying at home! I am no clue where I am at either. I am pretty sure I am about to start but at the same time I feel like my last one started at the very end of this month.

Yeah, the line wasn't as dark as the control line, but it wasn't all that much lighter which made me curious. The FRER was STARK white and I highly doubt I would get preggo using just pull out and condoms! lol.

And no, we aren't starting sooner! I want to enjoy this summer....and then start
