This cycle I started taking LH tests at CD10 and we've been doing BD every other day to maximize chances.
Yesterday morning I got a light test line (its the kind where you compare the test line to the control and if its as dark or darker than the control you are most likely going to ovulate in 12-48 hours) and then that night no test line and this morning another light test line.
Today would be the day for BD, should we tonight or should we wait until tomorrow in case I have my surge tomorrow?

Well, if the test line should be as dark or darker than the control line, and your line is only 'light,' then you don't have a positive test for LH. Why do you think today would be the day? IMO, you could wait until tomorrow. You don't say what cycle day you are now. Have you been charting? Do you know when you typically O?

I would have to agree with Patti about the surge line. It will definitely be just as dark or darker than the control line. Also, testing in the a.m., they say, isn't the best for OPK's. The LH surge typically happens in the afternoon. I usually had my last drink around 2 and then tested around 5 and sure not to urinate in between. I know those tests are so confusing. But also, how are your temps and do you notice any clear, eggwhite CF? All signs....

Good luck!

I am sorta charting. DD has been cutting molars and she's been waking me every hour to 2 hours so my temps aren't accurate. I have been keeping track of CM but I generally have several patches of "fertile" CM each cycle. So I am relying on the LH tests.
I'll start testing at night, thanks for the suggestion.
