Well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news diddy, but I used cvs opk tests before too in desperation because I was kinda broke and really needes to buy some... but after my experience, I will never use them again, cause seriously, I was getting two lines every single day almost the entire 2 ww... solid lines...and it gave me false hope that I would get my bfp because the same happened with the early-pregnancy-tests.com kind i had used.... only that time when I used the early-pregnancy-test.com opk's at 12 dpo, the two solid lines it gave me DID end up being my first bfp 3 yrs ago. So, naturally, I thought the same thing was happening when this happened to me using the CVS opk's, and believe me... I do not have PCOS, so I do not know why in the world the CVS tests were doing that. I read the reviews though, and they were not good! But I read the reviews AFTER I made the purchase.. stupid me! Anyways, perhaps you will not have the same experience and they will work out fine for you. I used them as the directions stated, and it was so frustrating what was happening. I could swear that even if I had a guy pee on them, they probably could have gotten two lines with no problem! I stopped using opk's all together and now rely only temps and my cycles set patterns, as well as cervix and checking cf. I usually get ov pain too... but I will tell you I used first response digi opk's because I thought they would be a guarantee of knowing the O without guess work and analyzing dye lines. I do think the first response were good, but when you know you usually ovulate on like cd 15 and beyond and have to keep testing from cd 5 to get the -NO answer each day was annoyi ng. .. but you have to settle with dealing with that b/c I guess it measures your levels from cd 5 to know the exact peak and the device remembers everything.. very inventive yeah?! I got my YES + on day 20 awhile back so I know it was accurate because temps also verified as well as ewcm and cervix position, etc.. o pains. Well anyway... good opk's are so expensive that I had to stop because of the financial constraints. I had a couple very random freak cycles of one being 37 and one being 40 days long omg... and in those cycles the first response would have been a waste of $30 or whatever because if you ovulate beyond cd 24 I think it doesn't even work for every woman!! How sad huh?
With this cycle I have had constipation dpo 1 & 3 really bad. Came out of nowhere. And my nipples feel slightly sensitive, on/off, but that's nothing out of the ordinary. The puzzling thing that raises question marks is... absolutely no O pains this time which was super wierd because I always have them! Second thing is, my temp jumped quickly after O which is also strange because I usually have a very slow rise. I craved shrimp scampi today, but again I think it is a normal craving from my regular cyclic hormones. Everything can be rationalized pretty much except for my chart's pattern and temps being a perfect staircase and the crazy constipation. If you click on my chart thumbnail, you will see that in previous cycles my LP has never looked like this one does. Each day is going by agonizingly slow... I'm biting my finger nails and I am soo sooo anxious! I'm praying for us all!!! With every failed cycle, I get more and more deeply depressed with this all... like it's just never going to happen. I have read online that by age 30, 90 percent of a woman's egg storage is depleted too... so I've let that pound into my head, which isn't good at all. I do not feel pregnant at all... so I'm getting all emotional now and very sensitive and weepy. Tomorrow is 8 dpo. With my first pregnancy I didn't feel pregnant at all the whole 2ww either. It was an absolute shocker when my period didn't come and then I started to get bombarded with every symptom in the book only a day or two after missed AF. But I do remember I had horrible nausea dpo 1 and 3 with my first pregnancy, and with this cycle I have had this random, real horrible constipation dpo 1 and 3... so maybe each pregnancy is really different? But I keep telling myself that I know my body, and no subsequent pregnancy could ever be different, and so if I'm not nauseous then it is another failure and there was no conception.... I am losing hope
