It could do cupcake . Mine got darker and vanished very quickly! I'd see how it is tonight! But remember if it disappears your still in as the positive means you will ov in next 28 -36 hours (with the cheapies anyway) and the egg lives up to 12 hours
If I were you I would DTD when you get a strong positive and the following two nights you should catch it then!
Could it be that you tested too early? I thought you weren't supposed to do them until after 10am?

Hiiiii ladies !!
Been hidding out on this page for a while and as I dont really feel I can moan to my 'real'friends about ttc so hoping to make loads of virtual ones to get through this tricky time with .Fingers crossed May is our month !!!!
Whats everyone trying this month ? So far Ive avoided opks as I think they might stress me out but interested to hear other peoples stories ?
Lovely to find a positive supportive bunch !!

Hi poppet!!!
I tried opks and the first month I tried them I got my BFP we just DTD every other day and then a few days in a row when we got the positive opk I think the best advice I had (although near impossible to follow) was just relax and enjoy it, yes near impossible! But I think stressing over it does affect you in this kind of situation.
Fx for your BFP

I just got cheap ones off eBay I had very long cycles so no way could I afford the clear blue ones!
Enjoy one last party while you can!!! Typical the only thing I'm craving at the moment is wine

Mac I agree with popple, I go online for my stuff, are you currently taking folic acid? If not start that. We DTD every other day as apparently it takes men 48 hours to get a good load of squiggles. We started from 
the day AF stopped as my cycles are wierd.
I also used opks which just detect the surge in lh that comes before you ovulate, it's best to do these twice a day if you use them and you can get a load of cheapies off e bay or amazon apparently. When you get a positive DTD everyday for 3 days
There is also stuff like preseed (is that what it's called?) and concieve plus which you can get off amazon which from what I have read can help with getting pregnant as it creates the right environment for sperm to get to where they need to go
Have I missed anything? Lol
