Is anyone using these? I'm getting so frustrated, as my cycles have quite a big variation. I tend to alternate between long and short months, with a short month around 26 days and long up to 32 or 33. I'm on CD 13 right now and so have been using the opk for about 5 days and NOTHING. It's not getting even a little darker. Is that normal? It seems like it should get darker as it gets closer, but I guess I'm not even getting close? I guess I'm just concerned that there's ZERO change so far, even though I am hopefully getting close!

Is this your first cycle using them? Some women build LH gradually over several days, and some women just have a big spike shortly before they ovulate. If this is a long cycle, you may just not be there quite yet, especially if you have a short luteal phase.
Also, some women do better with OPKs in the afternoon instead of in the morning, have you tried that? If you're new to OPKs, I would try to just be patient and watch for a couple months and hopefully you'll start to see a pattern - I found them to be more useful for finding my averages than for telling me where I was in a particular cycle, though of course it's always good to know when you ovulated. Or maybe you'll just happen to get pregnant before a pattern emerges, and that's even better
