Yes, CD15 is just an estimate. I haven't been temping. I only paid close attention last month, and if I were to guess, I ovulated a day later than the app said (I didn't use OPKs, I was just paying attention to CM and how I felt)</p> <p>Good to know I shouldn't stress about it though. I just worry I got the knock-offs, although I have read people say they work too. The package came with 10 pregnancy tests too, so I did one right after my period to make sure it said negative haha. I didn't want any false positives later down the road if they are fake! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opk-question-4#post-2280221 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 09:44:31 +0000 lovehoneybee 2280221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine always had a "fade-in" effect starting maybe 2 days prior to ovulation, before fading back out. At CD11 I wouldn't expect to see darkening yet, especially since the CD15 O date is really just an estimate (unless you've been charting and O on the very same CD every month, and then it can still vary a bit). But at CD11 I wouldn't stress!</p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opk-question-4#post-2280175 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 09:20:00 +0000 Umbreon 2280175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought some OPKs last month off ebay and this is my first time using them. I feel like I have read conflicting information about them. </p> <p>I'm on CD11 right now, I started testing on CD8. According to my phone app, it says I won't be ovulating until CD15. I started early because I wanted to get the hang of it before the timing became crucial.</p> <p>I've been testing every day, around the same time. The line has been much lighter than the control line, which is expected. But should it be getting darker as I get closer to ovulation? I feel like if anything, it's been getting lighter. Or did I just start testing too early?</p> <p>I'm paranoid because after I ordered them I read about the counterfeit Wondfos. I just hope I didn't waste my money. </p>
