Way earlier than before and no fade in at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opks-do-yours-fade-in#post-2626767 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 20:52:28 +0000 MaryM 2626767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's depended on the brand for me </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opks-do-yours-fade-in#post-2626709 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 17:12:19 +0000 Cole 2626709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is fascinating! Thanks ladies, I didn't skip today, it's a tiny bit darker today but it is so slight a difference that it might just be the length of the hold. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opks-do-yours-fade-in#post-2626641 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 14:48:15 +0000 Umbreon 2626641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, mine don't. They're pretty faint and then all of a sudden it's positive. Sometimes I'll get an almost positive, but not usually. It's either faint or positive for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opks-do-yours-fade-in#post-2626593 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 14:05:54 +0000 kes18 2626593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, mind don't fade in. They are always super faint and then the day before my positive it might darken up considerably but that's it. So I might be able to skip 1 day but no more. And I don't think I'd trust it for myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opks-do-yours-fade-in#post-2626557 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 12:53:42 +0000 winniebee 2626557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine do, but I don't start testing until around day 14, because I usually ovulate around day 17-18. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opks-do-yours-fade-in#post-2626537 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 12:35:51 +0000 Cole 2626537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Banana330: definitely! I think I'm finally done with HCG thankfully, it was 14 like three weeks ago so fingers crossed it's done! I just don't want to miss the window this time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opks-do-yours-fade-in#post-2626531 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 12:32:06 +0000 Banana330 2626531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cole: Don't worry I started CD 9 too (it was stark white for 2 days). I use to O CD 13ish but last cycle it was CD16! There can be some O timing wiggle post MC but I think it will depend on when the HCG was out of your system. It added a day to mine last time I was TTC. Bodies can be so confusing during this time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opks-do-yours-fade-in#post-2626523 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 12:27:41 +0000 Cole 2626523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh wow! So stark white day 1 of testing and a positive by day 4? I guess I would be wise to keep testing then! Before my lo I used to ovulate on day 15/16 and I'm only day 9 today so I was feeling silly but I know cycles can change pretty dramatically. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opks-do-yours-fade-in#post-2626518 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 12:18:14 +0000 Banana330 2626518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first one was stark white (no test line) I skipped a day and finally had a line.. Depends on how long you surge for. I ended up getting a medium dark one and then tested twice the next day. Good thing cause my morning test was positive but my afternoon was already fading out. I'd test lots if it's your first cycle doing it and then skip if it was light the next cycle. I'm using cheapies so I don't mind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opks-do-yours-fade-in#post-2626514 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 12:14:05 +0000 Cole 2626514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine faded in when we were trying for our first, I am just starting to use them again and since mine yesterday was super faint (like not even close to the control) I'm wonderingng if I should skip a day to conserve tests. </p>
