what do you OPKs look like leading up to your positive OPK?

Is there always a fade in, or can it be totally negative (barely any second line) and then a positive the next day?

Last month I didn't use them as regularly, but I think there were days when both lines seemed fairly dark, though it was definitely obvious when I had the 2 positives. But, the day after my second positive, there was almost no second line. Since then, it has remained that way, and I think I should be ovulating Sunday or Monday. Should I be seeing the line get darker as it approaches those days?

It really just depends on how quickly you surge. It's likely that you can have a very light line that suddenly becomes +. And it should go right back to being - after your +.

There's no reason to continue testing once you get your +.

everyone is different, some folks have days of surge, others right away so it just depends. .

wow. so yesterday afternoon I took one and it was completely negative-barely a second line at all. I took one 6 hours later at night, and the test line was not only there, but almost as dark as the control. I tested again this morning, and the test line was just barely darker than the control. Last month i had one day of a very obvious positive (test line noticeably darker) one day, and the next day at the same time, the lines were equal. Based on all this, when do you think I will O? (This is my first month temping. no raise yet.) We BD wednesday night, skipped yesterday, and will BD again tonight, tomorrow and sunday. Any other suggestions or input?

I can't really tell about CM. Some months it's obvious, others not at all. Of course, this month I can't tell at all. Hopefully it's tomorrow and not tonight, to give me some extra time to BD!
