im worried my stress is messing up my ovulation. I have been ovulating between cd 16 and 19 at the latest. Currently cd 18 and the opk sticks are starting to develop a faint line but no positive yet. DH thinks that the fact that there is a small line present is a good sign- that it is coming. I did switch from digital to the wandfos?(sp) this month
-
Stress can affect things. Keep testing--mine do start faint and grow stronger.
-
Mine start faint and get darker as well and do vary a couple days from month to month. I gave up on the wondfos though because I got tired of trying to interpret them. I use clearblue digi, regular (not advanced) version. I wouldn't worry.

Mine also got darker as I neared ovulation. I tested twice a day with the cheapie wondfos and when it looked like a positive opk, I confirmed with a digital opk right away to be sure. Good luck!

Stress was such a factor in my cycle - the latest I ever ovulated was the month DH and I fought SO MUCH late into the night for a week straight - stress has a crazy effect on the body!

Well just like everyone else has said, stress can definitely change your ovulation days. I typically get a positive OPK between day 18-day 20. Last month I tested up until day 23 and never saw a positive. However, that same week our dog passed away unexpectedly, which was of course super sad and stressful. I am assuming I didn't ovulate until almost day 30ish considering my cycle ended up being 45 days.
I have used both the digital OPK and the wondfos. So far this cycle I am using the wondfos. I am also on cycle day 18 (cycle twins!!) and I too am only seeing a faint line. Just keep testing, you might just be having a longer than normal cycle! I will also continue to test.
Good luck!!! Hope you see a positive OPK in these next couple of days. -
My positive opk came four days later this month than last month. So don't get discouraged. And good luck with the strips. Why'd you switch?
-
thank you ! I switched so i can test more often an not feel bad. still neg this am and cd 19...

I've had some wacky cycles but I think the cheapies are accurate for me.

Stress was a huge game changer for me.
