Question

I need some help with these opk results. I'm now on CD21 and have yet to get a test line "as dark or darker than" the control line. I though maybe the three on CD 17-18 were pretty close, then they got light again. My line today was kind of dark again, then  to confuse me even more, (warning- TMI) I got out of the shower and had a huge amount of EWCM with some blood in it. I never bleed mid cycle.... 8 months going on 9 of TTC #1.
 Anyone have any thoughts for me??  I'd greatly appreciate it.

Answer

None of them look positive to me...MAYBE the last one...but I'm not sure. :-/ the cm....um have you taken a pregnancy test? You won't register a LH surge if you're pregnant....just a thought.

Answer

I agree that none look positive. Test line must be the same or darker than control. This happened to me until I started  testing twice a day. Those tests frustrated me a lot too because the whole evaluation is VERY subjective. If possible, get the Clear blue easy advanced  digital. You might find them easier and worth the money.

Answer

I would test a few times during the day on cycle days 15-17 next cycle!! I thought I wasn't ovulating but once I tried to pinpoint my target days I tested three to four times a day remembering to limit your fluid intake. I found my surge after I stopped only testing at 5pm!! I also took notice of CM changes and both helped me pinpoint.

Answer

The optimum time to test is 2pm... But if you can't you should test after 11am and before 8pm. Also I've read that your test times should be consistent every day. Looks like you are close to ovulation. Your last test is what my test looked like yesterday and today I got a positive.  Also it is possible not to ovulate occasionally.

Answer

You took ONE each day. There's a possibility you missed your LH surge and sometimes you don't ovulate EVERY single month. Maybe next month try two each day. The last one looks pretty dark though
