A tale of two OPK's...

[Kidandcatmommy]

So I had been using the OPK's with the two lines and for some reason when I was getting low on them I bought some digital smiley ones. Monday night no smiley, Tuesday night smiley so we BD'd. Then because I guess I have an OPK's addiction I tested Wednesday with a digital got smiley again and two equal lines on the other type. Thursday morning got a darker line on the lined tests. Does this mean I'm more likely to have ovulated Thursday sometime? I'm trying to figure out how early I can do a pregnancy test. I'm thinking maybe Saturday but TWW is super annoying! Haha!

Who am I kidding? I'll probably POAS stick tomorrow when my patience wears out. lol!

Did I answer this already??

You will ovulate 8-48 hours after your first pos so there is quite a lot of wiggle room, no way to pin it down any more than that.

It doesn't matter if your tests get darker afterwards, it's the first pos that matters. Your body is sending a message and just like whispering vs. yelling, it can "hear" the message at whisper level even if the volume goes up later.

Thanks for replying Atomic! I'm pretty sure AF just started so I'm onto cycle 2 for an attempt. I wasn't sure if I was confusing matters by switching up the type of OPK test. If I had waited until seeing the darker line on Thursday from the line test It could have been too late. I thought I'd read before where you said you didn't like the digital ones as much. I could be remembering really wrong, though. I was so spoiled with both my boys and got pregnant the first month trying with both of them so it's weird to have to try multiple times. On the upside though I fit in clothes I haven't been able to wear in about 3 years!

I don't like the digital ones, I think they cover over some stuff.
