Help with OPK strips, please!

Ashley

Okay, so I feel stupid for not being able to understand OPK strips and BB temps, but we have been TTC for four months with no luck, so I am in need of some advice.

This is a picture of my strips. The one I took today is obviously a lot darker than the others, but still not as dark as the test line. Does the line progressively get darker until it’s ready to go? Or does this darker line mean it’s an LH surge?

I wasn’t able to have any of these show up positive last month. My ovulation day is not supposed to be for another five days according to Glow, but I’m wondering if I ovulate earlier than expected, and that’s why we haven’t had any luck getting pregnant.

When the strips are positive, when should I have sex?

My BBT is also all over the place. It was steady for two days, but randomly high today. But it was also high when I was on the last couple of days of my period.

So confused... any advice would be much appreciated!
