OPKs never fully positive, did I ovulate?

[The Anchor]

I never can get a +ve on opk's. But here I am yet again, pregnant!!

I've got one faded positive on an OPK...that's one in about 200! I finally gave up on them when I found out I was pg with my boy. I wonder why that is?

Thanks Indira and Anchor, it's good to hear I'm not the only one. I wonder if the surge can be soo short, like only detectable for less than a 12-hr. window? If its short and late at night that would explain it? Or maybe some people make less LH than others?

Hi mygirl
i don't get a surge either really some times a line but nothing dark and taking all the suppls its difficult to tell from CM, i temp but it shows no pattern month to month and i can't check position of cervix as mine is very oddly positioned (smears are a nightmere there's only one nurse i can see the others can't find my cervix!)

and i'm tryin to do a cut off! would be worried if i hadn't managed to get preggie twice!
i think surge must have happened last nite ....... time will tell

Yes, some people have shorter surges and/or are sensitive to lower amounts of LH and so can release an egg at a lower concentration of LH than others respond to.

Ladies I contacted the ebay seller I got my OPK kits from to customize the best kit for your money. The One Step Pregnancy didn't work for me so I asked them to switch the prego tests to what worked! I made a thread on it!

Thanks everyone for your help if I'm not pregnant this cycle, I will order those eBay OPKs/tests you suggested Butterfly.
