Hi
So I'm new to opks and I'm currently trying some IC to see if I can get a handle on my O date.
So today is CD 10 and my third day doing them this cycle. (CD 8 and 9 were completely negative)
But today's one shows a feint line.
So can anyone tell me is this the build up to a positive opk - is it the norm to get a couple of feints and then a positive? Or might I get the odd feint line here and there and it doesn't mean anything??
Thanks a million for reading and any input is appreciated!

You mean "faint". (Feint means trick and you really don't want those from your OPKs Wink). Faint lines are normally followed by proper lines. If it drives you mad, get the electronic OPK sticks that give you a "Smile" for positive, instead.

Haha English spelling was never my strong point! Thanks for that!
Yes I can already see these are going to drive me mad! My last cycle was very long so I thought buying the dear ones would cost a fortune to cover the entire month but maybe I'm wrong if I'm going to ovulate early. So annoying not knowing!

It does drive you mad.

I think some people can choose not to think about things in between tests and give themselves some peace. I'd love to know how they do it.

@ColeHawlins I'd love to be one of those people too but once I'm actively TTC I honestly find it hard to not think about it! Every time I go to the bathroom I'm thinking about 😂 and all the time in between bathroom trips 😂😂
