Opk question!!

Past cycles don't tell us anything about prev. cycles, unfortunately. So ovulating early/late last month doesn't mean it will happen again this month.

I too am not a super huge fan of the Clearblue unless you are using it simultaneously WITH the IC's. They both have their issues and things that are less than ideal but the Clearblue, if you get a false surge, it will actually shut itself off for a few days and you can't test any more with it, usually right when it's the most likely that you are actually ovulating!!

Thanks Atomic! I had read similar reviews of it when I was looking into it, and I figured it might make me obsess a bit which I'm trying not to do! Thanks for the encouragement!

Ok another question...please help!

Opk this morning at 10am had a line that was close to the control line but not as dark so not positive. Today at 2, there is barely even a test line at all. Did I miss it or is my urine too diluted?

Not trying to obsess just don't want to miss it!!

I swear this exactly happened to me. Almost dark line then nothing!! It was due to my urine being too diluted. I waited until the night and didnt go to the toilet and got a dark one and then a + the next day x

Ok great that's helpful! I've been drinking a lot today. I was so surprised since this morning was close to +!

It can be either, urine too dilute but also that your body just made a little poof of LH for some other reasn and it registered in your urine. If you had your husband pee on OPK you would have things like that happen for him as well when his body just needed some LH (it does more than just trigger ovulation)

I think it was the urine, because I got two blaring positives the next day (yesterday) and we made our attempt. My husband is very concerned the one attempt is not enough (both our boys were conceived quickly with many attempts)

I got pg twice this year with one attempt at positive opk. My boys were also many attempts. I had a mc in february, then O'd 2 weeks later and got pg with one attempt. I was really tempted to do more attempts, but I didn't and am now 10 weeks pg. Good luck x

Oh thank you for telling me! That's encouraging. I feel really good about this month and our attempt, but I may be over-optimistic. Congrats on your baby!!!

Good luck Abifasc :D
