Not sure if I should continue testing w. FMU to see if the line fades out or not? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opks-help#post-274613 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 12:16:46 +0000 MamaMoose 274613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I probably wouldn't trust an OPK to give reliable results when you are only 15 days out from a miscarriage. There is just so much going on with your hormones right now that it's probably difficult to get a good picture of what's going on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opks-help#post-274599 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 12:08:23 +0000 Shutterbug 274599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you drink a lot of water on Tuesday? Or did you not hold your pee for a few hours before the 9pm negative? It looks to me like your LH surge was Tuesday/Wednesday, and if it's negative tomorrow morning, you probably O'ed today. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opks-help#post-274542 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 11:44:22 +0000 MCD919 274542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hoping some OPK experts can help me... It's my first time using them, and I'm TTC after miscarrying. So I'm not exactly sure when I'll O because I don't know if my cycles will be similar to what they were before. ANYway..... I started taking OPKs on Monday:</p> <p>Monday 9pm- Negative (seemed close, but not quite as dark as control)<br /> Tuesday FMU- Positive<br /> Tuesday 9pm- Negative (lighter than Mon night)<br /> Weds FMU (5:30a)- Positive<br /> Weds 9:30a- Positive<br /> Weds 12:30p- Negative</p> <p>What's going on?? I'm reading lots of places now not to use FMU, but the directions with the OPK said to (target up&amp;up brand). Has anyone else used FMU successfully, or should I only test in afternoon/ evening? Am I getting false positives?</p> <p>I don't think it's leftover hcg from the miscarriage because I tested with a FRER yesterday and got a stark white BFN. Right now I'm 15 days post mc. I KNOW this is why Dr's say to wait one cycle, but I did a lot of research and DH and I decided to try. </p> <p>If anyone can shed some light on using these OPKs, I would be VERY thankful!!!!! I'm going crazy over here trying to figure it out. TIA :):) </p>
