OPK question

[HealthyGirl]

I know this is barely positive but this is only Cycle Day Five.


I usually have a positive OPK around CD 12/13. Can I assume based on this OPK result and having ovulation pain I will ovulate a lot earlier this month???

Also does anyone know if I decided to confirm with a digital clear blue OPK whether I need to start and program it on CD1 or can I just put in the sticks wherever I am on my cycle ???

That is not positive at all.

Your test line has to be as dark or darker than the control line to be positive.

Your body makes LH for other things and you often have some floating around in there that can register on the test. In fact, your HUSBAND could POAS and get that kind of line because he also uses LH for his body functions. It is only when the LH reaches a certain concentration that the test line gets darker than the control and only that is a positive test.

You cannot assume anything on the basis of that test or on O pains. Some months you just have a lot of O pain and cramping, I've had it as early as CD 3-5 many times and then did not O till CD 14.

Not sure aobut Clearblue, hoping someone else chimes in who knows

That isn't a positive. The test line has to be same or darker than the control line.

When it is positive, it will be glaringly obvious.
Take the instructions very literally. The test line must be as dark as or darker than the control line.

If it's the CB Advanced digital OPK (NOT the monitor) you don't need to program anything, just start testing once daily with FMU on CD8, assuming you have a 28 day cycle.

I think it the monitor that I have.
I really don't want to invest in another one.

The monitors are very finnicky, read the instructions thoroughly!
