Smiley Faces & OPK's

does anyone ever not get a smiley face?
i tried using them a few months ago and i never got one. but when i bought the bag, it was ripped and the pamphlet said not to use them if they were ripped b/c it could affect the quality. i ended up using them anyway but i was paranoid i wasn't getting b/c the bag was ripped.

but...does anyone ever not get a in a month at all? does that mean your not ovulating at all?

Re: Smiley Faces & OPK's

yes, but i have PCOS,i think u do as well right

that is why i stopeed using them bc they were epensive,i never got one and if i did it was a false positive

imo if u have PCOS the only way to make sure u r ovulating is by blood work and or sono

Re: Smiley Faces & OPK's

There are a couple of reasons why an OPK might not work for you, but it doesn't necessarily mean you're not ovulating.

I don't care what the instructions say... don't use the test until mid-afternoon. Try to hold off peeing for a few hours before taking it. You might be ovulating earlier or later in your cycle than you think, so test early.
