I HATE O KITS!
It's just day after day of let downs...seriously...
According to Your Days - i'm most fertile on Monday - so shouldn't i have at least SOME form of a line by now?
It's just been killing me - every day, no lines.. I know i haven't been testing as long as some of you & i'm sorry to complain, but it's no fun at the beginning either...learning what you already thought would be true...(that it's not going to be easy)...
i'm just feeling really upset today - sorry to complain.

Re: I HATE O KITS!
I know how frustrating that can be!
How long are your cycles typically?
Are you holding in your urine for 4 hours and testing in the afternoon?

Been testing since Tuesday...because on another site it said i was fertile all this week.....not a biggie - because i have 2 kits - so i had 14 sticks...wanted to cover EVERY base...
Tuesday - i used FMU.... Wednesday, FMU. Thursday, realized that i should be using afternoon.....so used 4 hour hold urine at 3:00...
My cycles are 28 days on average (the last 2 months have been 28 days).
Yesterday - held from noon - 4:00 and still no.
Today - i got up VERY late, as i'm rather sick (upper respiratory infection on top of allergies) and used FMU - but i didn't get up until 12:45 and got another no.
I have no o'ing symptoms, which i have had in the previous months, cramping...etc. I have CM...but not one oucne of cramping.
It's just getting to me because I told Dave that it wouldn't be easy...as i have a lot of health problems and i just knew conceiving wouldn't be easy...
There was still that tiny shimmer of hope that maybe it wouldn't be a nightmare.....and that shimmer is dieing...and it sucks.

Re: I HATE O KITS!
Where are you in your cycle right now?
You should really try using afternoon urine (best I think is between 2 and 8 pm) instead of FMU.
The hormones that the OPKs are trying to pick up are synthesized in your body during the day, so they won't show up in your urine until the afternoon.
CM is good! I think it's a better sign than cramping... Is it EWCM?

Re: I HATE O KITS!
In my experience, being sick makes me O late. Maybe that is happening to you? You might have a longer cycle this month.

Re: I HATE O KITS!
I HATED OPKS!!!!! They drove me absolutely nuts! This time around
I am going to try the CBEFM and see how that pans out.
If you're only on CD13 that is good, being sick, you might be a little off and may O later than normal. Good Luck!

Re: I HATE O KITS!
Last month, I got faint lines leading up to a dark one. This month, I got NO lines and then a dark one! I am also weighing heavily on what Fertility Friend has called out as my most fertile days. It is actually perfectly in accordance with my O stick.
I also get mine on Ebay. I got 25 O sticks and 25 HPT for 17 bucks I think last month.
I keep saying I am going to go out and buy the ClearBlue digital monitor with the :) but my WalMart didn't have anymore this month and I wasn't wasting anymore time!!!
The line decisions really drive me nuts!
Good Luck!!!

Re: I HATE O KITS!
Seriously this was me last week...I was testing everyday...then bumped it up to twice a day..Swore they didn't work went and bought the digital OPKs as well.
I am using mymonthlycycles and they predicted my O was Monday...was testing away and NOTHING! Someone on here said it was better to test between 2P-8P did that and got a smiley on Tuesday and used the one with the lines and got a positve on Wed as well! The website was OFF!!! KEEP TESTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And test in the PM

Re: I HATE O KITS!
I bet you'll get your postive today or tomorrow. If your cycle is 28 days, and tomorrow is CD14, that would make sense.
As for lack of CM and cramps, I usually get those before, and then by the time +OPK comes, those symptoms are gone.
Don't worry it is totally not too late for you this cycle, you may've started to test too early so that is why you're feeling this way.
hang in there!

Re: I HATE O KITS!
trying not to be sad today....
got up earlier as well, so if the hormone builds as you are awake (as someone mentioned)....i'm going to do my best to hold from 1 - 5.
One of my main issues with holding is that i have IBS-D. So.....if i have to do a hold, it means i can't eat....because if i eat - i'll have to go....no matter what i eat.
fun stuff

Re: I HATE O KITS!
alright - for anyone who is paying attention....
i tested with a 3 hour hold just a few minutes ago (i HAD to go and didn't want to have an accident)...there was some form of a line there - so i'm going to do another 4 hour hold now and do whatever it takes to HOLD IT...
We're going to his parents' house in an hour to show them our wedding pics - so at least my mind will be pre-occupied!
