my first opk

[simple]

Ok ladies I have just started charting my cycles and this evening I took a opk and I got a faint line... Does this mean that I did ovulated or I'm going too.. My last af was on 20/01/14.. I had very very light brownish spotting last week for four days

Really hard to know unless you temp. You can get faint lines before and after ovulation.

Yep I have to buy one...

Unfortunately you can't know this unless you temp (I know, you are getting one!)....some women always have a little LH in their system and can probably always get a faint line (this is why they day do NOT use an OPK as a HPT).

Your best bet is to keep testing with an OPK every day and see if the line gets darker or lighter. But remember, you can get a positive OPK and not ovulate.

Wow its so hard... I can't believe it's this hard... I tested again last night and got the same faint line...

Faint lines mean negative...a positive is when the test line is darker than the control line.

Great!!!!! I'm so excited and happy.... First positive sign ever in two years... The only thing worrying is that I'm on cd102

The OPK is detecting a serge, the top one is for sure a positive. But that doesn't mean you ovulated. I don't want to bring down the party, but since you do seem to be having an awful long cycle I would get on temping right now so you can confirm ovulation.

I actually went yesterday to look for a temp but they only had the normal temp... Would a normal temp work?

 

[BeachyFeelin]

You mean they just had a normal thermometer?

Yes you can use those, you won't get as specific temps as you should be getting, but when I started temping I used a normal thermometer (digital with only .1 decimal) and I got cross hairs to confirm ovulation.

Ok I will purchase one today..
