Do any of you know anything about ovulation tests? I have the Internet cheapies and each day they have been getting slightly darker and yesterday was the darkest they've gotten now they're back to very faint and I wonder if this is enough to count as positive. If you have experience let me know and I will try to figure out how to post a picture.

Sorry I've never used opks so can't offer advice. Did you figure it out?
Well I think I'm officially 1dpo now! Already itching to test
Planning to test Jan1 at10dpo but will likely cave in and test earlier, just to drive myself a little crazy
oooh actually I just checked my period tracker app again and it days I'm actually2dpo! Woo! Now I'll test Dec 31! I know I know I should wait until af is due, don't judge me! I've always gotten a 
by 9 or 10dpo...and I'm just impatient!
Anyway how is everyone else??
I got my 5 day progesterone blood level information back this morning from my testing yesterday and it's 31.9. It's never been that high before. I am exhausted and my boobs are killing me I guess that may be from the high progesterone. I still am not sure what my plans will be for testing.

Guys I have NO idea about opks. A couple days later I took one and it was starting to get dark again and then I didn't do anymore because I was diagnosed with a kidney infection and was in pain. So needless to say we didn't do much bd this month. If I ovulated when I originally thought (which matches my calendar) then I may have a chance. If I ovulated later I probably don't have a chance at all. If I ovulated when I originally thought I am 6 dpo. I really don't want to test until 14 dpo. However my mind is weak and I am sure I will cave. I thought this would be our month but after being in the hospital with kidney infection and trying to heal to be honest I think I'm out. Just doesn't seem likely.
That being said I do have very sensitive nipples right now. That doesn't usually happen but who knows?

I felt like af was coming before my last bfp! Even afterwards during those early days I would get cramps and be so worried that something was wrong , but nope! Baby was just snuggling in. So you're definitely not out yet!
When are you testing??

OPKs work by predicting the LH surge in your body. The more LH the darker the line will be, and the greater chance you are O'ing. However you can only O once a month/cycle... the OPKs just make it easier for us to tell when we MAY be O'ing.
I'm in on the New Years testing... I just don't want to wait that long.

Hey with my first pregnancy I was sooo sure I wasn't pregnant because o felt exactly like my period was coming on. That was the one month out of many I DIDNT think I was pregnant so I actually didn't even test until I was 5 weeks along. Unfortunately it ended in miscarriage but not because of my symptoms they said it was normal.

I'm having lots of symptoms today!!! Sore breasts and slight cramping. Its so frustrating because last time I was pregnant I had these symptoms, but I alsohad similar ones the past two cycles even though I wasn't pregnant. Ugh! Somehow though I feel different...I hope I'm not being overly optimistic but this could be our month.
Maxina, test whenever you feel comfortable!!

I wish I knew the answer to your question because the same thing happened to me this month. If I did O, I can test new years day
Even thought I didn't catch the LH surge, I had some intense mittelschmerz so I'm hopeful. Never had that before my loss, but it was some for sure solid cramping on the left side.
Fingers crossed for all of us, ladies! This is my first time testing since my loss and it's so comforting to have something to be hopeful for again. Thanks for letting me join in

I never had any of that before my losses, either...or maybe I wasn't paying as much attention to everything as I do now. Hope you get some good news for the new year

I also wondered if it was just because I'm paying more attention. I do feel like I have a lot more body awareness in that area. But, wow it was so intense at first I didn't know what it was! lol
I hope we ALL get good news for the new year. It seems like such an auspicious time to be testing

Last cycle was the first time I felt what I thought was ovulation pains but it keeps coming early in my cycle like right before the week leading up to ovulation. I had it last month and this month. I do have reason to believe I haven't even been ovulating all this time until last month because I just didn't get any of the symptoms. Yesterday I woke up with intense nausea so I tested and it was negative. Then I realized it was way too early for pregnancy nausea because I was only (maybe) 8 dpo. As the day went by I realized it was food poisoning. Ugh! So today I am 9 dpo on a not too optimistic cycle. Only time will tell. I'm just going to say I was ovulating the first time I thought I was which means I think I'm going to test New Year's Eve at 12dpo even though it is a bit early I would love to tell him when the ball drops!!
