Looks like a line to me! Due date buddies...
Have I mentioned that I hate OPKs? Or that maybe they hate me? And before someone says "just use a digital," I had a bad and expensive month with them last month, so it's not even worth it to see the smiley face and then not ovulate. ;)

I generally hate the line ones too...but I was not aware it was possible to detect a true surge (aka: smiley face) and not ovulate. Perhaps I am not brushed up on my ovulation facts, but I thought the LH spike was what caused the body to release the egg and as long as you got a positive and it goes negative, you ovulated. Hmmmmm...I am off to do some reading (I love science, but not when it pisses me off :D)
Oh, but here is to hoping you ovulate soon!! I am guessing that is an ov test, not a preg test?
You can have an LH surge and get a positive opk but no egg is released, not sure how common that is though.
I was using the cheapie opks for a while but thought I was ovulating about cd15 as the line was pretty dark, I was using shettles method then so was stopping bd about 3 or 4 days before I thought I would ovulate. I did that for about 6 months and wasn't getting pregnant, then two months ago I bought a few of the clearblue digital opks, I used one on cd15 when I got a pretty strong line on the cheapie opk and didn't get a smiley face. I used them every day then and finally got my smiley face on cd17. The cheapie opk line was as strong as the test line, which must have been what I needed to show I was actually ovulating (or having my LH surge). No surprise I wasn't getting pregnant before! Now I know what I'm looking for on the cheapies I have just been using them, so I only used about 4 clearblue opks.
Fingers crossed you make it this month! xx
Darn...in my reading I have found I am terribly misinformed. So sorry that your tests got your hopes up and you didn't ovulate. I feel smarter now :D
I am wondering how common it is now too. And if it generally happens for women with PCOS (that seemed to be where most of the reading I did concentrated) and not often for other women. Makes me wonder if I did ovulate this month. Lol. Although I am thinking I had all the signs and truly did! But they say stress and lifestyle changes, losing weight being one of them, can cause it to happen as well! Learned something new today.
Hi ladies! Congrats on those with BFP's!!! I am I thin 8DPO but not absolutely sure. We had attempts during our move week, so we will see...
None. I've had a lot of CM in my underwear so I feel like I should be. And did I mention I'm really bloated?! Holy hell. I hope the next POAS I do is a bfp! :( the last one I did was probably August 4th.Quote:

Shell - i'd call that OPK a fade in - i don't think its quiet a positive :( So sorry, i know it must be so frustrating for you - hang in there!
acheloisnomad - good luck!! I don't think there are meant to be any 2ww adjustments - the theory is to stick to the diet in case you are not pregnant. That said i think we all allow ourselves a cheat or 2 during the 2ww. Ive included pineapple into my 2ww this time round - I've heard its a super food to help implantation so i thought id give it a go
Kraizy! Hope the move went well :) And that you are settling into your new home well! Im guessing you will wait till AF's due to test? When's that? Best of luck to you hun - your certainly a trooper and i really hope you get your bfp this month!
SUregena - good to hear you had a nice holiday - do the Qtip test!
