OPK always negative

[Erin514]

Anyone else have this problem? I didn't use them when TTC my first two kids, but I'd like to try one attempt at OPK once I reach 12 weeks on the diet. I've been trying OPKs for the past couple of months to get familiar with my O dates and I've never had a positive. I've even tried testing twice a day from CD10 (in a 30-day cycle), but still nothing. Not even a faint line (I only see the control).

I'm using Wondfo cheapies according to the instructions. Is it possible they just don't work for me?

They never used to work for me either! A woman at our clinic gave me some advice. Hold your wee for 4 hours before you test, and no liquids. Test twice a day, once around 2 and again around 7. Sometimes your urine is so dilute it doesn't pick up the LH. GL!

I'm with anchor, l test between 3-5pm and don't drink from about 1pm so it's not diluted. My most positive is when it's the same as control never has anything darker.
Do you temp? Chart cm? Together all the info can help you. Gl and Fx!

I don't temp because I cosleep and wake up at odd hours. I do chart cm though, so I could try just estimating on that for a few cycles if I can't get a pos OPK. I'll try drinking less water in the afternoon, though. Thanks for the tip! I didn't think about that.

Yes, some people just never seem to have success with them. We don't totally know if it's a case of that your LH concentration in your urine just never gets that high, or if you have a quick surge at an unusual time of day.

Since your cycle seems regular you can try just having an attempt on CD 13 or 14 instead, or going to e4d.
