Can't get a +OPK

[Pangea]

Maybe try a more sensitive test. I buy one step cheap opks, and they're available in 3 different sensitivities, 20miu, 30miu and 40miu. I use the 40 miu ones because I seem to have high lh levels. I think most shop opks are 30miu, maybe look online for 20miu ones.

I think I'll try testing earlier to see. Getting concerned though as I've hard zero signs.. Tried to check CP and it seems high-ish (never done it before so I don't know), closed?.. couldn't really tell, wet-ish and more on the hard side I'd say. Again, first time checking so I'd have no idea what the difference between them all is!

I'm worried because we have to get a BD in by Tuesday afternoon.. or wait until late late wednesday due to DH's work schedule this week

Here's my OPK from this morning at 10:30 (after 3.5 hours of not peeing)

Thoughts? I know it's not positive.. but maybe getting close? I still have no other signs

[Butterfly Spirit]

Yep, looks like it's almost there. if you were taking Vitex I would say to hop off of it now!

This is my test now at 3pm (4.5 hours after last test). This is what happened last time - the morning was darker then afternoon showed nothing. Is it a possibility that I can only get a reading in the morning? This is so frustrating

FYI - I'm not on vitex or any other supplements but Folic Acid

is your urine more concentrated in the morning????

[black&gold]

is your urine more concentrated in the morning????

Yes, I'd say so. However it was decently concentrated with the last test I showed, but not as much as the morning and their was less in general (max 5 sec - I know they say 5-8 sec so not sure if I got enough on?)

EDIT: Just did a test 8:30pm (5.5hrs after last) and it was neg. Had a small amount of what seemed like EWCM a few hours ago and some light twinges... grrr so frustrated!

Do I BD tonight? or wait until late late Wednesday night? Due to DH's schedule it's either or...

I don't know

Because I don't know if you are like me and only get a + in the morning. Mine would be + again tomorrow morning so i would BD Wed if I was aiming for one attempt.

On the other hand, if you have historically gotten a + in the afternoon, then maybe you missed it. *that would of been awfully fast though*

I am not too strict with timing, so honestly if it were me, I would BD tonight, tomorrow and Wed and make a judgment call on what actually gets inside you if you want to be uber-swaying.

I've never got a positive test before, that's the problem!! I've only been doing all this for 2 months so I don't know how short my surges are etc. The only options were last night or wednesday night at midnight.. so we went with last night. I DO NOT want to miss O and considering I normally have 28-29 day cycles max, I'm already on day 16 so I guess this is the safe bet. Grrrr.. this month is probably another write off!!

Hiya, just to let you know I never got a positive OPK when I was trying for DS2. It was my second month on the clear blue digital and I never got a smiley face so just DTD when I saw EWCM and still got PG. I was testing 2-3 times a day so I'm sure I couldn't have missed it. I just started using them again and had one afternoon positive for the first time ever last month but my urine was very dark when I tested. I was due to OV yesterday, no smileys this months but as I drink a lot I think the tests don't work for me unless my urine is strong. I had darkish lines when I pulled the test out this morning, but no smiley.
