A positive opk is when the control line is as dark or as dark as the test line. That's when everyone has there attempt. Some of mine have never turned fully positive so it's when you see the darkest one that you attempt if you notice it doesn't get fully positive

That's what I assumed but I wasn't sure - it's what I did with ds4 makes me a little nervous...

I'm becoming more and more convinced that getting pregnant from one attempt is VERY difficult.

Am I just too much of an pessimist??

If at a true positive it's VERY likely. Dh and bd one time only with ds4. We were on the cut off plan but then I got my pos opk early.... I've given up with the timing and just want to do the one attempt but at pos opk but wanted to be sure this meant a true pos and not the fade in.

There can be some outliers- but in general most people ovulate within 24-48 hours after the FIRST positive opk. Some can ovulate 8-12 hours, but that is not "typical".

Now first positive opk means the test line is as dark as or darker than the control line when using ICs or true Wondfo opks. Again there can be outliers- some see a fade in pattern from very light to dark, but never get as dark as or darker than the control line. If using CB digital (not advanced digital or the monitor), BD at the FIRST smiley face. Some people confirm with a CB digital when they think they get a positive on an IC and then BD- this saves money on the CB digital so you don't use them everyday (I did this).

If you are not sure, flip a coin. Yes, this works to alleviate stress of guessing, which sways blue and you can move on.

Hope this helps!

I need to reorder new opks, and then test to see how they work. The ones I have now are awesome and are almost gone (and expired lol) but I used them back when tracking for #4, and I got true positives with them luckily so I'll try and get them again!

What do you mean by fade in?

When you test, the test line is very faint and progressively gets darker close to O.

So shouldn't a fade in turn into pos opk?

I'm confused on what hitmebabyonemiretime is saying in her last sentence.

Sometimes people never get a true positive, majority do.

She was saying that she got a true positive with the brand she used to use.

hi ladies,

healthy-have you tested today?

just heard from the RE about my appt. so, i had 4 follicles. 2 were a decent size (i think 14 & 17) my estrogen is still climbing to 404! i explained the every four day rule so she said attempt tomorrow (thursday and DH's birthday) and rescan on monday. looking like no clomid this cycle as we can't seem to get me to baseline. we are assuming i will O sunday-monday but that's based on follicle size and cycle day. she doesn't want me to miss the egg if i start to O on my own..this is wacky. she was thinking with my estrogen so high that i might have a cyst(no) or pregnant(no) at least DH will be happy on his birthday
