OPK - Line nearly as dark as control line, then very light again?

PetiteMoi · Jul 26th, 2009, 15:32 PM

Hi girls

I had a light line on Mon, Tue and Wed, then a tiny bit darker (but a lot lighter than control line) on Thurs, then VERY nearly as dark as the control line on Fri, then lighter again on Sat and Sun. Does that mean it was my surge? Or did it not happen?!

this is the first time I've used them so I've no idea what to make of this! Time wise I should be ov'ing around now (af is quite irregular, 29-35 days) and I had ewcm on Fri...

SOunds like that was it hun! Did you get in on time???

What time of the day did you test hun? Reason I'm asking is sometimes we miss our surge. On that note, you had ewcm on friday, the day your line was nearly as dark, so I reckon you should take fridays as a positive.

You would have ovulated upto 48 hours after that.

Good luck!

DM hun - yes we did in that case, both Sat and Sun am

MrsJD - Thanks! I tried to test around the same time everyday, around 6-7pm... I will count Fri as the surge day this month I think - hoping that I would have missed the 'real' surge! x

you probably caught your LH on it's way up, missed testing right as you had the surge, and then took another after it had begun coming back down. - or so I have read, that is very common.

My opk testing is like that, it starts out very faint and then as I get closer to my O-time, it gets darker and darker. It usually stays dark for about a day then fades back to faint. I did have an opk test positive(as dark as the control) then the next day it was faint then the next day it was positive again

it's enough to make you just bang your head on the toilet paper dispencer.

Thanks girls!!! Sounds like that could be it then! Fingers crossed xx

knightowl - sounds very annoying! Sometimes your body just seems to be out to get you

How long have you used OPK's for?

Hmm only for about 2 months, so far it's going pretty well, no BFP yet but I'm hoping for one in August

They are making it easier to see a pattern(if there is one) to the days that I ovulate.
