IC ov tests?

[vivica2]

so i went and bought 20 ov tests online, the kind you dip in the cup. but i never see a second line... im cd12, and i dint get a pos ov test last cycle..... so it could just be inovulatory i guess..

i guess im wondering if anyone has used the the internet ov strips and gotten a pos? i got the tests from here....

ive seen the tests work just fine for other ladies... and cd12 could still be early... and you COULD be testing other than when you are having your surge

I must ask though... what color are the end of the strips? cant help but wonder if you perhaps got their hpts instead? LOL (not like, you messed up... but rather they did)

i have these. i really like the ic opks and the hpts.

do you temp and check your cervical mucous/cp? for me, i temp, so i know about when i am going to o. a few days before, i generally start getting some fertile mucous, and i will start my opks, and they have gone pos right on schedule, usually the first + is 2 days before my temp shift. i know once it gets close, too, i start doing the opks 2 or 3 times a day. this month i only got 1 day of +, vs. 2, so i could have missed it if i hadnt known to check based on cm/cp.

the end of the test strips are green, is that the right one? lol

yes i chart: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/1b07bd

and i started vitex last cycle, so im testing more than just with fcm just to be sure the vitex didnt change the cm pattern.

yes, the green are the opks. it looks like you are getting fm now, so not sure what your pattern is, but for me, i have like 3-4 days of cm before o. also, dont be surprised if your opks go from stark negative one day to blaring pos the next, that can happen too. sometimes they sort of fade in and out, and sometimes it just comes out of nowhere!
