I started testing early because I think I normally O early. So I felt cramping and ewcm on CD7. CD8's test was probably the darkest. They started getting lighter and yesterday's test was darker (still not positive) which would have been CD11. Today's is much lighter and not much CM going on. Unless it's going to all come at once, I'm not sure if I could have ovulated already without having a for sure positive? My cycles are around 26-28 days. Last cycle was 28 days. Here are the tests in order of the 3 days that I mentioned.
Is ovulation possible even if you don't get a definite positive opk?

Yes, I miss about a 3rd of my ovulations on the opks, but BBT, CM & CP confirm it. OPKs are great, but you need to consider them in combination with everything else.
Oh geeze! Ok, I am wondering now if I did in fact already ovulate and earlier. If I don't have any other signs within the next couple of days, then I'm going with it already happening! I guess it's more common than what I thought! I haven't been testing at the same time and with a hold so maybe that's why. We have been dtd every other day since day 7 so will continue with that or more until like day 16.
Do you have a picture of your test? I know they say that a close to positive is still a negative, but maybe if it is darker still, there is a possibility that O is happening!

Yesterday's does look darker. What cycle day are you on?
What's your normal cycle length? And the actual process of ovulation usually doesn't occur right when you would get a positive right?
Average length is 25 days.. And once you get a positive- usually ovulate 24-48 hours I do believe
Oh you have a short cycle as well?! And I thought so with he 24-48 hours. So since I had cramping and EWCM on the 7th day and the 8th, could have been a positive. Then which would make me actually ovulate on CD9 or 10. So it could be possible that I didn't get a blazing positive and already ovulated?!
Haha I like putting every possible scenario in my head!
Ok, so this is my opk for this morning (cd13). It's the lightest one so far. So unless it goes from this to a blazing positive tomorrow, I'm counting ovulation over. Unless I O late, but I don't think so with having shorter cycles? And since I have been more in tuned with my body, I don't think I've O'd later than CD11.

Wow that is very light... I ended up testing again yesterday and actually getting a blazing positive. So mine went dark, lighter, and then positive... there is still a chance that you didn't miss it..? Are you using fmu, or is there a chance it is pretty diluted?
This is today's and I used smu for both yesterday's and today's so it shouldnt be that diluted. So I'm thinking I had my positive but my urine was too diluted because I tested whenever.
So you ended up getting your positive closer to when you expected?
I'm pretty dry down there and cervix is closed or almost like after O. We started dtd every other day starting on day 7 so we will see. We should have last night but I was tired and thought since there is no signs of O, and I wasn't in the mood, it would have been more work than pleasure!

Well good luck to both of you ladies, looks like you're close together in the cycle!
I'm feeling out even though I'm only 2 weeks in. I just don't feel like dtd because I am like "bone dry" and my sex drive is obsolete so I don't see the use since my husband's swimmers wont like what I'm throwing out there for them! Haha.
Keep me updated on how your tww's are going!!

Orglethorp is right about temping alongside opk use. I didn't get a full positive in my opks with either pregnancy and rarely did the rest of the time either. It wasn't diluted pee or lack of testing since I kept bags of cheapies around and tested multiple times a day I just never got the test line to get equally dark but they got close.
