ovulaiton kits- 2x a day????
Hey girls,
I have been testing with opk's 2x a day for the last 3 days- should be oving any day now- pains are there and temp is still not gone too high yet-
here is my question- on the "answer" brand sticks- i was only getting the control line for the longest time and then last night- i finally got two lines- the test line was not as dark as the control- so,,,,,,,, do you think my lh could be increasing and maybe that is causing the other line to finally show? i'm hoping today will show darker line and prove that I am ov'ing-
any thoughts or advice- other than "get to bd'ing, we are totally doing that already!!! lol!!!
thanks
ally

Your best bet is to wait for your temp rise xxx
the thing with opk's is you can't tell when you have ov'd until you have if that makes sense. when you get the positive opk, i recommend b'ding from then until 36hrs later. its great you are doing that before too, just in case. regarding the lines, for the last 3 months using them, i get a lighter line, then a line the same colour as a control line then a fainter one, which i can only assume is the level of LH changing. however, i did notice that when i drink lots within 2 hours of testing i got faint lines, so try and restrict what you drink 2hrs before testing.
what times are you testing, if you test at 11am and 10pm you should cover both 12hrs where the surge might have occured. so my advice is you will prob get a darker line within the next 12hrs, and then it will go faint again. if you check your CM, it shouls be think and slimey and your temp should drop before it peaks. let me know who it goes, hope this in some way helps, but wouldn't be without using opk's! xxxxx
I just wanted to say that even though the 'rules' of the OPKs says that the test line needs to be as dark as the control line for a positive, that never happened for me... i tested twice a day and would keep the tests and then take the darkest one as my positive.... dont get me wrong, it was defo a pretty dark line but never quite as dark as the control.

Mind you, i also BD'd about 3 times in the week leading up to my positive so maybe that helped too? Coz it could have been one of those older swimmers that were hanging around in there and then made it!
Oh - and i dont really get EWCM since coming off the pill - so i also used Preseed on the day of my positive reading xxx
