So i took a cheap OPK today at 2pm and got a line that was not far of a + but was still defo a -

Its now 6pm and I just took another cheap OPK and its still neg BUT I also just took using the same urine a Clearblue digital Ovulation test and I got a smile which means its a +

hard to say... depends on your body I suppose... do you usually get a positive OPK on the cheapies? If so I would trust that one more as it is likely higher threshold for LH...

but if you dont usually, I would trust the clearblue, because it is likely lower threshold for LH...

so it really depends on how strong your LH surges usually are (this explains why some brands work better for some women than they do for others)

Unless you are dealing w/insemination at the doc's, or are trying to slant timing wise for gender, I would assume it is positive and BD tonight.

also to add I just took a normal Clearblue Ovulation test not a digital one, the ones with lines and I got a + on that as well.... same urine.



and I usually get a + on both at the same time just not this time


i think i might go out and buy a totally different kind of OPK that iv never used before and see what result that gives me ... Hummmmm

if you get ANSWER... a dark line is not a positive unless more than 50% of the line is that dark. (its silly... but yeah you will be convinced its positive even if its not)
