Not sure what that meant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-opks-ka-blammo#post-1606470 Thu, 01 May 2014 18:02:34 +0000 Aria 1606470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For me it depends on the brand. Wondfo there's a little bit of the fade in/out. Babi it's just almost stark white until the positive, then back to white again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-opks-ka-blammo#post-1606448 Thu, 01 May 2014 17:53:29 +0000 snowjewelz 1606448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was gradual, and I could def tell when it was 100% positive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-opks-ka-blammo#post-1606413 Thu, 01 May 2014 17:41:15 +0000 charmed 1606413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine keep getting a little darker each day, but then on the actually positive day it's WAY darker than the day before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-opks-ka-blammo#post-1606410 Thu, 01 May 2014 17:36:33 +0000 Cole 1606410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Espion: Mine faded in and faded out-- except the month I got a bfp and I never actually got a positive that month so there's always hope! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-opks-ka-blammo#post-1606406 Thu, 01 May 2014 17:34:24 +0000 mfa_lady 1606406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've only used them a couple of times, but they faded in and out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-opks-ka-blammo#post-1606405 Thu, 01 May 2014 17:33:26 +0000 Espion 1606405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: @mrs. bird: @littlek: Rats. :) I was afraid you guys would say that. </p> <p>My cycles used to be regular (although that does not mean I ovulated regularly, because I never tracked that) but not since E. I had to hormonally drive my body into having my first postpartum AF by taking regular OCPs for a month. This was when E was nearly 10 months and I pretty much have never been able to EBF him. This chicken is worried that she's not laying any eggs. I'm not "technically" supposed to ovulate until Saturday or Sunday based on cycle length, so I'm hoping I'll have a positive OPK tomorrow or Saturday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-opks-ka-blammo#post-1606400 Thu, 01 May 2014 17:27:08 +0000 littlek 1606400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine fade in and out </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-opks-ka-blammo#post-1606398 Thu, 01 May 2014 17:24:50 +0000 mrs. bird 1606398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends on the person, they can be! Medicated cycles, mine are BAM! Positive all the sudden. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-opks-ka-blammo#post-1606395 Thu, 01 May 2014 17:22:50 +0000 swedishfish 1606395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine fade in and out but I also have ovulation issues so I'm all messed up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-opks-ka-blammo#post-1606394 Thu, 01 May 2014 17:22:10 +0000 Espion 1606394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What I mean is...do they get positive gradually or are they ka-POW positive? This isn't really about reading them, because I get that, but I don't know if these blank white sticks are par for the course, or if I should be expecting a faint line getting darker and darker. (I'm only testing once a day in the afternoon.)</p> <p>Am I weird to be secretly relieved that it isn't positive yet so I can get some rest? :p </p>
