Another OPK Question

I'm still a little confused about this whole OPK thing I bought the kind that have the lines (I couldnt seem to find the one with the smiley) and used it yesterday and then another today. Both times had a faint second line which means no LH yet right???? But what's wierd is that I am on CD10 and I have EWCM (sorry about TMI) and even had a twinge of cramps yesterday (which happens often around my O time). If I am ovulating shouldn't the test have come up with a much darker line? Or maybe I tested too late? Does anyone know how accurate these things really are?

TIA

Re: Another OPK Question

I have tried both the smiley OPK and the lines and neither worked for me....and I do ovulate regularly. Those tests seem simple enough, but they don't work for everyone. The best thing to do is pay attention to what you body is telling you. Good luck.

Thanks ladies. That is what I was hoping to hear. DH and I always said we were gonna try to not stress ourselves out with "trying" to get PG and when it happens it happens. But lately I've had baby on the brain like crazy and we are talking more seriously about it so now I'm starting to be concerned with every little thing.

Thanks for the advice
