I woud say today, your result is positive, so you should O in the next 12-36 hours. The only thing that gives me pause is that your control line is so light! Is the smilie blinking yet?

Yesterday I literally went from NEGATIVE to holy crap tons of EWCM and a solid smiley face.6 hours later This morning I still had a solid smiley face and the line was darker. It never once blinked. It was crazy. This is why I'm a bit confused as to when it would or could have taken place.

What time did u do the last opk? I dont think its fully positive yet, thats why u didnt get blinky. Bit more darker, i would say positive.

I would BD tonight and two more nights for sure.

Golden Ratio - Interesting. It was my understanding that blinky meant you were coming up on it but hadn't reached it yet? Perhaps the picture I took didn't show the darkness of the line. I think it's pretty dark. Here's a better picture. I took this mornings test at 745am - about 12 hours after I took my last one (shown in this photo above - which also gave me a solid smiley)



EDIT: THANKS everyone for your opinions. I don't have much experience with positive OPK's so your experience is super helpful

You're right! Blinking is less fertile! I think a few women on here have it the other way around, but I just checked their website:
https://www.clearblueeasy.com/healthcare/clearblue-advanced-digital-ovulation-test.php

I've had it wrong all along! So your last test was definitely positive. The control line is there, and the other line is clearly darker.

Get to it, momma!

Hooray! I think you're right too! I've read from several women that blinking means extremely fertile but their website does say that solid is extremely fertile.

Either way, at least now we know! (By the way! I saw your post in May testers and you and I very well could be ovulating twins!) YOU GOTTA GET ON IT TOO, HUN!

Lol yes ma'am! Unfortunately, I think he's doing a boys night out tonight. Maybe I'll stay up and surprise him in some fun outfit

Sorry Puma, I think the clear blue i had would blink when it was most fertile but no smiley face when not fertile. I think u have the advanced one.

From the pic, left one is def positive. When i get my positive, i usually ovulate the next day so BD tonight to have spermies present when ovulation happens.

Also morning urine s not the best for opks. Afternoon urine is the best time to test. For example in the morning i would get faint line and afternoon i get dark line(positive) but if i test morning to morning, then i would miss the beginning of the surge. I hope i didnt confuse u lol

Eeets okay!

Well then that makes me wonder if my morning one that was negative yesterday was incorrect because I used morning Pee! Hmmmmm.

You didn't confuse me at all. You're seriously awesome for your help! Thank you so much

How are you feeling anyways?!

On a completely random off-note, I ordered the 50 pack of pregnancy tests for clinical guard- and they shorted me a few so I e-mailed them. (Not a huge deal, the 50 only cost me 10 bucks on Amazon) lol

Anyhow, they e-mailed me back and said they'd send me the ones they missed. Today I got a package with 10 pregnancy tests and 10 ovulation tests from them! AWE. I was so excited. They definitely rock!

 

[greenarcher]

I thought they sold them in packs of 40? Regardless, excellent customer service!

I bought them on Amazon They have packs of 20,25,50 and 100!

[greenarcher]

Sure enough! I bought on amazon too, but it was a while ago

 

[GoldenRatio]

hahaha i cant believe u counted them! maybe i should start counting. Just ordered a box of Easy@home brand 50opks and 20hpts for 30CAD. Def cheaper options are out there in states ha!

Im doing well today, got some cramps but im happy to have heavy af. Doctor told me that my 1-2day light afs were not good news. Metformin is fixing that for me tho, last cycle af was 5 days and hopefully i get 5 days this cycle too

PS: We are totally chatting on two different thread with greenarcher so i feel like im repeating myself lol

I think we plan to do the same! I got a negative opk today so we'll probably BD tonight and take a break. Oi. BD'ing is so much fun but wowza it can be exhausting

I want to take our little boy to do something today. I'm not sure what though! It's been warm but it's also rainy/y.

What are you ladies allowing yourselves to consume while TTC. I'm a vegetarian (have been for 13 years) and I'm not always so great about making sure I get the protein I need consistently so I've been drinking lots of protein smoothies, eating quinoa, and taking my prenatals and biotin everyday.

You ladies have anything that is a "go-to" superfood or that you've been eating/drinking more of?

Thanks puma. We tried pre~seed for the first time this month. Felt a twinge in my lower abdomen yesterday and I'm quietly hoping this is the start, but also starting to think it'll never happen!

It will! This month I used preseed for the first time, too! I've read lots of awesome reviews on it. Are you following the SMEP plan? (Sperm Meets Egg Plan) - We used it this month and our hopes are high. =)
