OPK ..Help me with this!
I am still waiting for a positive reading..I feel like it's coming due to some pain on the left side. When should I test? I tested at 10am and it wasn't as dark as the test line but it's getting there. Am I doing something wrong? I heard you are suppose to hold pee for 2 hours and limit the liquid intake! That's hard for me since I drink so much water!! 
Anyone have any pointers I can do? Please help me!!! Thank You!

Re: OPK ..Help me with this!
I wouldnt test until tonight. By then you might be get a darker line. If its still not as dark or darker then the test line do it again tomorrow morning. I honestly never held my pee and never worried about how much I drank and never did it at a certain time and it worked for me.
If i tested on Monday and it was light i would wait till wed. If it was darker on wed but not as dark I would test on thur and then again on fri (usually getting darker as the week went on obviously  ) and by then it was usually just as dark or darker and I knew I was going to O within a day or two.
I always used the double line OPK's and they work for me. Hope that helps! GL

Re: OPK ..Help me with this!
Thank you for posting this! I'm using the double line opk too and today is CD10 but I still have nothing, I've been doing it since CD8. I was doing it at the same time and holding my pee but today I forgot so I did it as soon as I remembered, only an hour off anyway. I think it might still be early but I hate being so strict with this! I hope the test isn't that sensitive where nothing would come up the entire time. I'll just start testing later in the afternoon. GL to you!

Re: OPK ..Help me with this!
I did test before I even read these post..still not a dark line. I will test again tonight. So frustrating! I wish I would ovulate already! Today is CD 13 I may still be early...but I have been testing since CD 8 because I did not want to miss it!!

Re: OPK ..Help me with this!
I started using the two line opks this month. I am only CD9 and got a faint line this morning. I'll test each morning and then once I get a darker line I'll test twice a day till it's as dark or darker. Thats my plan anyway.

Re: OPK ..Help me with this!
My advice is to buy the smiley tests! You can get them cheaper from amazon. I had no luck with those line tests.
Good luck!!! Hope you get a positive soon

Re: OPK ..Help me with this!
I did the opk's and they were easy. I have read to test in the afternoon (I did it around @ 3 everyday) and held my pee for 4 hrs. (that is what my opk said to do and I also read it somewhere else) Good Luck!

Re: OPK ..Help me with this!
this is my first month using the opks. I dont pee from 2pm on and take it as soon as I get home from work around 5:45-6.
I was getting worried that I was not ovulating but I just recently got my smiley on cd 17,18 and will see if the smiley is still there today on cd 19.
good luck !

Re: OPK ..Help me with this!
Did you test this morning? If you have a chance to then I would...either way it wouldnt hurt right  If you said you already got a line although not as dark as the test line then I think you will O before Tuesday. I would as much as you can!

I started taking the OPKS on cd 7. The CBE reccomends taking them starting on cd6. Most girls on here say FMU is not reccomended. I usually test around 6pm everyday, and I hold my pee in from 2pm until 6pm.
