OPKS and urine

[JustSparkle]

Hey ladies, want to check in about OPKS. I am not due to ovulate for another week. But I used super concentrated urine midday, like to the point of pushing out the wee only a small amount and it was very yellow. So the OPK came out positive, but prior to with normal urine not dilated it was negative. Not sure what to think, if it is a real positive I’ve missed my cut off [emoji31][emoji31] thank you [emoji120]

Well, cutoffs don't sway so I'd still have one attempt.

When you say 'not due to ovulate' what do you mean by that? Because your O day can change quite dramatically when swaying.

But it's def. possible to get a false positive on the OPK as well - I just want to be sure you understand that a faint line is NOT positive, it's only positive when the line is as dark or darker than control. Many people get confused on that.

Thanks Atomic! So confused, I got the positive OPK last night which was just as dark if not darker than the control, then this morning only a flashing smiley on the digital OPK. So not even peak but according to opks it’s positive. Don’t know what to believe. ☹️

Have attempt and keep testing. If you get a positive on the digi OPK within the next 2 days, stick with the attempt you have already had. If 4 or more days, have another attempt. If it's been 3 days - follow your gut instinct...for better odds of conception have another attempt, for better odds of pink, stick with the attempt you've had, and if you can't decide, flip a coin and do what the coin says.

Just curious What would you trust atomic? The digital is still coming up flashing which is on par with what I thought my ovulation would be but the internet cheapies gave me a positive two nights ago.

I wouldn't trust either one of them LOL. Have the attempt. OPK are what they are, they're better than nothing, but they are not reliable and you can't trust or count on any of them.
