I stop testing if I get a positive, so I put 1. really it's 0-1 because I have a naturally short surge and anything close to positive means I would get a positive in +-12 hours if I tested more frequently. on the few occasions I have kept testing it always goes more negative pretty quickly.

@theotherstark: yeah people are really different so you'll just have to see over time how it works for you. mine is not gradual at all - it's very negative, positive for a short time, very negative again. of course I also have fertility issues so could be related. many people get that gradual build-up and ramp-down.

I only tested in the afternoon, so 1 a cycle. The next afternoon my smiley face would be gone.

@snowdrop so which day do you count as O? The day with positive am/very positive pm, or the next day with positive am/negative pm?

that's similar to me, but i go back and forth on which day should count as O.

With this baby I got 3. Positive on the 27th, 28th and morning of the 29th. Then by that evening it was negative.

I'm new to OPKs, and I got a positive (smiley face) on Tuesday afternoon, although my line didn't look dark. I also got a smiley face yesterday afternoon, and "my" line looked darker than the control line. However, this morning there was no temperature raise...I am planning on testing this afternoon to see if it's negative, which I think means O has already occurred? Shouldn't my temperature go up? This all is way more confusing than my junior high Sex Ed class led me to believe!

@Snowdrop: I"m happy to hear about your "almost positive," because that's what I got today. I think I'll test again tonight and for sure tomorrow. And BD just in case.

I got a two mornings in a row with both pregnancies
