My OPT's - updated - negative now, i think

Sounds like you may have just missed the surge, I know if I never tested late at night I would have missed mine too, in the past!!!!! Going by your CM etc it does sound like you have O'd already.

Yeah I think I missed it.
I stopped doing afternoon / night ones cause the 2nd line was so faint.
I was getting that fade in pattern using FMU.
The last pic I posted is the darkest one I got.

[TTC5]

Ah yeah you prob missed it!

It is possible you missed it but I would not call the pic a pos OPK in any way. You are there and can see it firsthand so use your judgement and not mine, but to me that is not pos.

TBH a lot of my internet cheapie OPKs don't go much darker than that when used between midday and evening. I only get a proper positive on them using FMU.

[atomic sagebrush]

Thanks for letting me know that rainbow!!

But I am confused, because I thought you weren't supposed to use FMU?

[TTC5]

I only get +'s from 10pm onwards!

Another -opt today, I am most certain I have already O'd and missed the surge.
CM is really drying up but I still have lower back pain and that usually goes away after O, I'll keep doing OPT's every day though just incase.

I read that you aren't supposed to use FMU cause you can get a fake + but I haven't been getting fake positives and when I was doing them not using FMU I was hardly getting a 2nd line at all. Maybe my LH surge just isn't strong enough but more likely I have missed the surge but I did do a test later on CD17 and the 2nd line was barely visible.

[TTC5]

Yes good idea just keep testing

LBAM how long was your cycle last month? It's true you should not be using FMU. My opt's will be faint anytime of the month and then i get 2 days of +ve, so i really doubt you will miss it if you are at least doing 1 every 24 hours. I don't like to suggest anything negative but i'd say if you get a BFN this month it would be very likely that you didn't O at all. On the other hand if you get a BFP that means the OPT's you were using were not of a very good quality. I would continue to use them though just to be positve that it's not just delayed.
