I am so confused...

Yes well the cheapy opk still has no line at all so i will wait..

[atomic sagebrush]

well, just keep in mind that you can have false negatives on OPK, too. So if you wait too long, you risk missing the entire month.

Thanks Atomic, I will test with the clearblue tomorrow morning again. If its a solid, we bd immediately. If its a flashy again..no clue what to do. According to my app, ovulation is due around the 7th. But that is totally unreliable because my cycles are not the same length. Last month was 29 days, before that also 29 and the one before 35 and 31.. today is cd13.

Still a blinking smiley...

Oef, how long are those blinky ones supposed to last? This is the fourth...

Yes the apps are really not very helpful at all to anyone without a regular cycle.

You have the option of having sex now to cover, and then waiting for the solid to have sex again. If that happens within 2 days, stick to the attempt you've already had. If 4 or more days out, then have another attempt. If 3, flip a coin and do what the coin says. OR you can just to every 4 day method in the "every 72 hour" pattern.

You can have those pesky flashing smileys for many days prior to solid, so while it's really annoying, just keep testing. Most of the time it will go solid eventually.

Thank you so much atomic! Is it possible I missed my ovulation? I started testing in the morning of cd10, got an empty circle and cheapy opk got a faint line but the darkest till now... today is cd16. No lines to see at the opk but still flashy smileys. Only other month I tracked my cycle was july and got pos opk at cd22. But that was before diet. Last 2 months cycles were shorter.

It's possible to have false negatives - but given that you started testing CD 10 it's more likely you just haven't surged yet.

Hi Atomic, hope you catch this question today (:

See attached pic of opks. The pink is the normal one and the blue is the extra sensitive opk. Shall i wait one more day to bd or is tonight the night?

Before today the pink ones showed no lines and this is the first time i used the extra sensitive one. Thanks in advance (:

I would BD as soon as possible. I want you to BD with the first positive of any brand and not wait for the OPK to agree with each other because you may never get a positive on the less sensitive one.
