Opk question!!
Hi ladies, this isn't my first time using opks, but it is my first time using them while swaying. I got a + on day 15 last month (my cycle is usually 33-35 days so this was early for me), and since this is our first month ttc I really don't want to miss the surge so I've been testing since cd12. Shouldn't the test line be getting darker? My body is obviously getting ready to ovulate so I feel there should be obvious gradual darkening.
P.s. TMI I'm not doing cervical checks as usual when I've ttc because atomic suggests it could raise testosterone so I'm going off cramping and the cm I find in my pantiesLast edited by Abifasc; April 18th, 2014 at 02:08 PM.

Maybe try taking twice a day in case you miss the surge? Xx

Ah ok sounds like perhaps something in your sway is lengthening your cycle to me but I don't really know tbh!! I know some ladies who don't get pos opks just dtd every 4 days though so they have one chance in the fertile window xx

Ok thanks! I think that's possible. My cycle last month was only 30 days instead of the typical 35 so I'm sure that was from LE. Thanks for your help!

I would keep this bumped up for atomic to see as well as she will know what's best for you. Good luck xx

Ok my two cents. If you usually see a fade in pattern, I would expect you will see that this time, however, you may have a quick surge this month and miss it completely. Can I make a suggestion? I got pregnant with this ill girl using the clear blue advanced ovulation test. Not the monitor but the digital one that tells you your high days and peak days. I hated it at the time but I knew with plenty of time in advance that I was going to ovulate. I just tested once a day with fmu and it told me my result. Maybe you can try it? Ic's can be a real pain sometimes!!

Mrsandmamma what day did you dtd on? Your first or 2nd peak?
I wouldn't worry too much this was me cycle just gone. No/v faint line and I went past my usual ov days. I was just a late ov and sorted getting dark from nowhere. I still got about 2 days of darkening. Don't worry and stay calm it'll just be a late ov xxxxxborn 2012
Swayed but got my beautiful 2015
Looking into going HT

I agree with dreaming. Just bc you Oed early last month doesn't mean you will this month. Also, sometimes surges don't have much of a gradual darkening, but appear out of the blue, even if a fade in is normal for you. If you're testing 3 times a day you WILL NOT miss it.
Personally I do NOT recommend the CB Advanced OPK as I have seen it cause so much confusion for so many, and LE tends to throw off cycles. I believe that and the monitor only work well for super regular textbook cycle ladies not doing swaying diets.
Waiting for O is very frustrating but it WILL come (most likely! ).
My Ovulation Chart currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP
TTC #1 - swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!
Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after removìng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic
Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period
