Help with opks?

[xMillie]

Would you say today's is positive? To me it now looks darker than the others...
Today's is at the top (cd16) then cd15 and then cd14.

I thought cd14s was positive when I did it, can the line fade overtime?


Sometimes I think I understand these things and other times they completely baffle me!

yes, the line fades over time. After 30 mins it says result not valid. It looks like it is getting darker. I guess you won't know it's at it's darkest under it starts to get light again. Best to ttd anyway. It's better before ovulation anyway. If you do it for a few months you may get used to your pattern. good luck!

I think we're covered with dtd; cd11, cd12 cd14 and cd15.
Hopefully today too lol.

I'll test again tomorrow and see what happens!


When I used them before I never got dark lines apart from on one day, the other days were always really really faint or completely blank... so I'm finding it very confusing that I've had 3 days of dark lines! Stupid tests lol.

I'd say it's a good sign.

Today's looks positive to me as well?

Now I'm really confused!

I'd say that's a positive

It looks darker than the others. Every women is different...you want to look for the darkest one. Unless you've been doing it a few months it's difficult to know what to look for. If you temp then you can tell when you've ovulated as your temp goes up. It's best to ddt in the days leading up to ovulation anyway so it's not going to make a big difference the exact day as long as you ddt regularly.

I just want to know when we can stop dtd so looking for a negative... lol

I really thought yesterday's and the day before were as dark as/darker than the test line... but I have no idea anymore!
One more go tomorrow... I know you're meant to stop after a positive but I'm really confused!

I don't think you are meant to stop after a positive as you can ovulate up to 48 hours after a positive opk and then the egg can last 24hrs. Once your CM becomes sticky and not slippery that's a good sign you have ovulated and can stop dtd.
