Is this a positive opk?

Thanks Atomic. I took one again this afternoon, and the test line was even darker. I hope we didn't BD too soon.

You O an average of 24-36 hours after your FIRST positive, not the darkest. The surge is a message, and your body "hears" it at a whisper even if it starts shouting later on.

I took another test this afternoon, and the test line was even darker, so now I'm thinking that Friday's result wasn't quite positive yet. I'm hoping there's still some sperm there when the egg finally comes. I've been tempted to have another attempt, but I know that it would possibly put me in the boy zone.

What do you think Atomic?

Your first test was a positive, and you BD at the right time. Do NOT hold out for a darker test as it may never come.

I am with you Katt but kinda opposite. I got a almost positive yesterday (sat) and thought I would get positive today (sun) but it as even lighter today so my surge must have been earlier than yesterday's test and I missed it. Now I am sad because we are doing e4d and out last attempt was Thursday which I think is too early for an O today to tomorrow and our next attempt per the e4d isn't supposed to be till tomorrow (Monday) which will probably be too late. I know I can throw in another attempt tonight if I wanted too but I don't want to cross into boy territory. If I got pregnant and it was boy I would probably blame myself for the extra attempt.

When in doubt, BD. This is because you can conceive from an earlier-than-pos-opk attempt, but NOT from an after-O attempt. I hate to see you guys waiting on darker OPK because sometimes they just never arrive, so better to be in with an attempt day before positive OPK (O-2, also great odds conception) than waiting and missing it.

Girliecat, you were covered either way (that's the point of hte e4d method),, this is just for general informational purposes.
