As the title suggests, I am after opinions. The pic is of an OPK I did this morning and one I did yesterday afternoon.

Is one darker or are they the same? If you think one is darker, please indicate which one you think is darker :)

TIA :)

bottom looks a tad darker. i would back these up with a digital to get a clear positive though.

Same. The bottom is less dry, that makes it appear darker. Is this your first time using those OPKs? What time of day are you testing?

Boom, I think you may be right. I did an OPK later in the day (around 3pm) and it was a slight shade darker.

Maidentomother, It's not the first time using the OPK's. It is, however a new batch. I am not feeling terribly confident in them and I don't have a digital OPK. It's also hard to pick when my LH will be at it's peak. Times I usually test are around 7am (when very close to O) 10-11am, 3pm and if needed later in the day. I have had +OPK's several times early in the morning which is why I test so early. I think doing so many nightshifts has buggered up by cycle.

I was always told to use afternoon wee. And try not to drink or wee for a couple of hours in advance. Saying that I didn't have a single positive OPK last month.

I think they both look the same. I always used the digital ones because I always had a hard time reading the lines. I would usually test at 12:00 pm and 8 or 9 pm

I am thinking +OPK was definitely yesterday. http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/10/29/7fa3aa00eee75392c44cc6e35e5f334f.jpg The latest CD 18 OPK was taken after drinking a glass of juice and a glass of coke.

I'd try testing in mid afternoon as well. If you've had a darker line on these OPKs before I wouldn't worry about the batch. They look fine quality to me. I think your surge will certainly be very soon! BD every day....but you know that. My schedule is also very erratic and I haven't noticed it affecting my cycle.

Yup, CD18 3pm is positive.

It would seem O occurred the same day as my +OPK. FF called O on CD 18. I agree with it as well. So far from the day before O right up till now, my temps have been almost identical to last cycle.

I just hope we haven't unintentionally swayed pink. We bd the morning and night of the +OPK (O day) and the morning after. I know what will be will be, right now I will just be stoked with a bfp.

Good luck Boysway!

I still think it could have been CD 19. Look at that supposed "temp rise" on what FF has listed as 1 DPO - that is barely above coverline and many of your pre-O temps were higher. That is not a clear cut chart at all.

Agreed I would put O at CD19 and frequency is good at 2 times the day before :)

I see what you mean. The problem is CD 12-15 were all taken later in the day due to nightshift the previous night. CD 14 is much lower because I took my temp earlier then I did after the other nightshifts.

Boysway

My previous cycle was almost identical when it comes to temps 1dpo was pretty much sitting on the coverline.

Even in my mind discarding the higher temps it still looks most likely to be the 19th :)

Excited for you!!

I know nobody likes it when somebody says "I told you so" but I hope we can make an exception this time!!
