OPK question
Ok so the CBFM question got me thinking. I've been using the  OPKs b/c they seem the easiest, but I was wondering if you think the line tests might be better b/c they would let you know when you are leading up to O (when it is most important to  ) as well as when you Oed.

Re: OPK question
I think the smiley one is to let you know you will be ovulating in 12-48 hours which is what the line test does as well when you get a positive. I think as long as you have an idea of when you will ovulate you know when to bd.

Re: OPK question

right but down the lines get progressively darker so you know you are going to get a positive soon, where the is just a O until it is positive.

Re: OPK question
I used the FR OPK and I was getting fustrated some days the line was darker but not as dark as the test line. Other days it was very very light. I gave up and went with the CB OPK's.

I actually agree with you. I have been (wastefully) using both and I actually like the FROPK line test best. I use those until there are almost 2 matching lines and then I start using both until I get a .
I totally get what you are saying and honestly, I get the same results with the line tests.
