Favorite OPK?

False peak

[maidentomother]

I have seen many ladies Peak too early with both CBAD and CBFM. But better too soon than too late...

Well for me it's not that good

Anyone had false results on ClearBlue Advanced ov tests?

Yes many, I hope some of them chime in.

It should be a good example, not to trust only CBAD. It was perfect for me the entire year but left me when I need it the most 😔

These tests confuse me. I don't know the brand (paper stick type, dip in pee, came in foil wrappers) I used but with my last pregnancy but I knew that the line had to be darker than the test line. I don't know how you would know if it was a false peak for sure or not.
I just know I was aiming for cut off (which I know now was pointless due to all I've read on here), but I got my lh surge (pos opk) within 12 hrs of of dtd. I also had a positive 24 hrs later. So idk.... It baffles me.

You don't know if it's a false peak or not. You know when AF arrives and you remember back 14 days or so (hoping that your LP was actually 14 days LOL)

I agree a sucky system but it's all we have.

Using OPK for cutoff is a dicey business anyway for the exact reasons you mention. Most people going for cutoffs try to dtd with a fade in rather than wait for true positive, but what invariably happens is that they track and chart for months before TTC, and then the month they are ready to start trying, their OPK goes positive in an entirely different pattern and it's all blown to heck anyway.

Ya I won't be attempting a cut off again. Would you recommend that one attempts at a true positive opk? Or that fade in period leading up to it?

Either. The reason being, some months/people never get a true pos and I have seen too many people wait and wait for pos OPK that never comes. The important thing is not to have an attempt right when your OPK is positive (because that's totally irrelevant) but to be in with an attempt that happens before ovulation without being too far before. So that's what you're really aiming for and if that for you ends up being with a dark fade in, just dandy.
