OMG OMG, I got my smilie face today!!!

I totally wasn't expecting it today (isn't that always the way?) I'm so glad I have the CB digital to double check the cheapie Kroger brand I've got, or I would have thought it wasn't quite positive yet. Apparently Kroger brand is positive with half-positive (where the darkest part at the edge counts). Hopefully the one step cheapie OPK's on order from Amazon (that are due to arrive tomorrow) will have a more clear positive, but at least now I know what positive looks like in Kroger brand.
Here are some pics to show you what I mean:

It's perfect timing since we're due to BD tonight anyway. Now to see if I can pull off the SMEP plan.
I will definitely be keeping some CB digis on hand to check suspected positives from now on, esp. since I'll need to learn what my positive looks like on the one step OPKs.
I've also now started saving and labeling/dating my OPK's so I can chart the progression (I saved and labeled/dated yesterday's and will do so with todays). Now that I know my body is producing the proper levels of LH and estrogen to at least get a positive OPK (with FMU no less) I feel much relieved. From now on I'll just assume that O is eventually coming until I see AF. (I'm not going to worry if my temps don't line up this month, but if they do I'll be glad to see it.) Vag temp is .22 higher than oral temp, today, but they both dipped at least a little (but the dip was more pronounced with the oral - I'm pretty sure I mouth breathed last night).
Done another OPK at 2pm but it doesn't look any darker?? Do you think I missed my surge yesterday?
It's looks darker, to me!

I'm glad to see you've got a darker line today! FX'd for a clear bfp opk for you! Could this be a brand that half-positives count on? You can call the company and ask them (if it's from BabyWishes.org, then half-positives definitely count according to this site: https://www.peeonastick.com/opkfaq.html#13) or take a digital test to try and confirm, if it would ease your worries and they aren't too expensive in your area (got mine on sale).
Either way, I hope you and your OH can get some BDing in tonight!
Tizy I think it looks a little darker. Get busy

Thanks Robinson, I'm not sure, maybe they're about the same. Even if my +OPK was yesterday (we didn't DTD yesterday) am I still in with a chance today if we get to it when OH comes home?
Yeah, you've still got a chance because you could O within 12 to 24 or even 48 hours of getting the positive, and the egg could live for 12 to 24 hours. So even if you missed your surge yesterday, you've got a chance, I think. FX'd!

Hang in there Hopeful! I know it's easier said than done, but try not to think about it too much. What worked for me yesterday was noting my symptoms and saying "I'm just noting this for later review at the end of the cycle." and then I got busy doing something else...well, it took a few minutes to tear myself away from my chart, but I managed it. ...We'll see how well I do during the TWW though, lol.
FX'd for you to get that bfp when the time comes to test!

Sorry you got AF, mrs_kboy

Flyons, FX'd for no early AF for you and a bfp come testing time!

Now I'm going to call DH and tell him I got my first + OPK!
