Opks

[Dimples81]

I was wondering how many people have experience of these not working? In all the times I have used these I think I have only ever had a faint line once or twice, mainly nothing but a control line. Am temping and monitoring other things to try and figure my body out but wondering if I am worrying too much over something that might just be hit or miss anyway?
Thanks

Me me !

I seem.to ALWAYS miss the 'surge' so i just figure the slightly darker line means its coming and take it as BD time. �� however i can also feel when i ovulate. Can you feel yours?

 

[Dimples81]

No. I've used them over 5cycles in total and only once had a faint second line never a positive and mainly they stay white.

Have you changed brand of opk to see if the batch is faulty? Could be that?

 

[Mattsgirl]

That happened to me last cycle.
What time of day are you testing?

I've only ever gotten really faint lines, nothing positive. I'm going to second eclectic, maybe you got a bad batch and the only test that was faint was your positive?

Keep us posted. OPKs are more of a headache than a helper to me.

I thought my batch was faulty, but I finally got a second (dark) line on cd17. My advice would be to test multiple times throughout the day before you pinpoint o. Some women have a really short surge and could miss it in a period of 12-24 hours. I'd say do morning, noon, and night until you see the surge.
