Help! *POAS update*

OK I've been using the FR OPK's as directed...I test late afternoon/early evening (usually after work)

I still haven't gotten the darker line to show ovulation..as of yesterday it was still really faint.

Today is CD 13 (I won't POAS till before dinner).
This morning I have EWCM and feel the dull cramp (for me that is definitely feelling an egg in the chamber)..

So far this week we've BD'ed on CD 7,10,11...

I'm sure we'll Chat Icon today and tomorrow, regardless of what the OPK says..

Is it possible the OPK isn't working? I'm so confused Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon and I don't want to miss out on peak days.

HELP!!!

TIA Chat Icon


* SATURDAY UPDATE* so I just POAS on my OPK and still that 2nd line is still faint Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Regardless we'll still Chat Icon Sat, Sun and then once the OPK has 2 lines go a few days in a row..this is so annoying!! I suppose I'm a late Oer, with a shorter luteal phase.
This being the 2nd month of trying, I'm learning so much from this OPK (even though I wanna chuck the sticks onto the highway they're so annoying!!)

*SUNDAY UPDATE* so I POAS an hour ago and I'm STILL seeing a faint line Chat Icon Chat Icon
We Chat Icon anyway last night, we plan to again tonight, and just to jeep going ahead, whatever happens, happens.

Re: Help!

I used to use those. Sounds to me like you should be getting your line very soon. If I were you, I'd go out and get the digital one. If money is not an issue then its def better and less ambiguous.

When I switched over to digitals, I kept using the line one just to compare and honestly, if I hadn't been double testing with a digital, I would never have been sure about the line.

Re: Help!

You will prob get the 2 nd line today. I used first response opk too and only got 2 lines when i had all the same symptoms u mentioned. I also had digitals on hand and got a smiley just to confirm, although it wasnt really necessary. Good luck

Re: Help!

Thanks girls!

We're gonna BD regardless the next few days Chat Icon

If we don't get our BFP on this cycle I'm absolutely switching to the digital next cycle. That's the one everyone seems to rave about.

How long is your cycle?
I wouldn't worry about not getting a dark line yet. For a 28 day cycle Oing on day 14 or 15 would be totally normal. This month I didn't get my smiley until CD 17 and last month it was CD 13. Have fun and try not to stress- that line will get darker! Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

ITA.. It WILLL get dark and you WILL get 2 lines. I O'd late, i think around CD 28. I was getting faint lines here and there at CD 15, 18, 20..., and I thought it was the OPK's fault. But when i really got the CM, and felt the I cramp, is when i got the very dark line.

Lines are tricky...I always used digitals so there was no question...good luck!!! It's possible you O later than you think! I eventually bought the CBEFM and turns out i got peak days on CD 16 and 17! I had no idea!
