Hello ladies,
First time poster long time lurker. These opk' are seriously making me go looney. I need you ladies to PLS help me. I've started poas on cycle 10, today is c11 and to me it looks almost positive using cheap ones I purchased off Internet and then I confirmed it with a CB digital and i got the low fertility face. Bear in mind it's my first time using both forms of opk.
How do I post pics of my results so u lovely ladies can help me work out if I am nearing o day??

Which CB test are you using?
If you're only using them to confirm fertility (and not all the way through your surge from beginning to end), you should be using this kind http://www.clearblueeasy.com/clearblue-one-month-digital-ovulation-test.php

Thanks for then reply MaryM. I'm using the dual hormone one. How do I upload pics here? The cheapie shows 2 dark lines. Control line slightly darker.

I think you have to have a certain number of posts before you can add photos (it appears in the blue/green reply box)
If I'm not mistaken, you have to start using the dual hormone ones before your surge so that they can sense it. They test for the actual increase, not just the presence of hormones.
Two dark lines and you're probably ovulating!
-
Oh really ok. Thanks.
I started the dual hormone on cycle day 10! Should I have started earlier?? Should I stick to the cheapies and keep testing. According to period tracker app I ovulate Friday or Saturday. I tested with FMU but when I test at night I get no second line. Is this bc it's diluted??
-
@Emilia80: Keep posting! I think one more and you can upload photos!
-
Oh great hahaha I'll keep posting then until I can see the upload pic. I would really love some help determining my opk test.
-
Yay it worked. Ok so here's my opk I took 2 cheapies this morning and then cb. Results of cheapies came up within few minutes.

@LindsayInNY: It worked, thank u so much. Just uploaded my pics.
-
@Emilia80: Hi and welcome! Can you take a close up pic of your cheapie OPKs? Hard to tell from these but I would say they are CLOSE but not positive. Will be able to tell better with a close up and maybe in brighter light?
If they aren't positive they are close so I'd test again tonight or AM!
ETA: If I were you I'd also DTD tonight just in case
-
@SweetiePie: thanks for the reply. So good to be part of this board/community.
If I take another pic now it's well over the 10minute mark so not sure it would be accurate to read??
I will poas again mid arvo. Am trying to restrain my water and liquid Intake, bc I notice when I drink ( I drink 2l of water a day) the results never show a test line.
I could prob adjust the colour and try make it bigger, bear with me. Thank u so much for the help. -
@SweetiePie: is this pic ok?? I changed the colour and tried to enlarge pic for a closer up view.
-
@Emilia80: yeah I would still say it's not quite positive but very close!
-
@SweetiePie: thank u, I thought the same. I'll keep poas and dtd
-
Another question. My tests say to read within 10minutes, so does that mean anytime within that 10min frame time is ok? Or should I stop looking at it say at 3 or 5min?? After 2mimutes that's when it starts to get darker. Up to the 5min mark. Then stays that colour.
-
@Emilia80: They usually mean to read the results AT/AFTER 10 minutes. At least that's my experience. Too far past 10 minutes and they're not accurate and too soon might be just that, too soon.
-
@LindsayInNY: thanks, I timed it lol. So between 3-10minutes the results were exact same. So assuming it should be right. Thank u kindly for your help x
