OPKs

[Optimistic66]

Hi,

I have irregular cycles - but usually between 26 - 32 days.

Im on CD19 today, and have been testing every day (8am, 2pm, 8pm) since CD6. The OPK have been negative until yesterday, all three had a visible second line but nowhere near as dark as the 'control' line. Does this mean i've ovulated? am ovulating? or does it mean i havent ovulated?

I also had a ultrasound test yesterday where she said she could see a 'dominant follicle' when i asked her if i have ovulated this cycle. (fyi Ultrasound was just a general to see if i have any cysts but apparently all looked normal and thought i'd ask whilst i was there..)

DTD every other day anyway but yeah getting incredibly frustrated with OPKS.
Any advice on how to interpret this?

If the line isn't as dark as the control then you are not quite there yet, but if it's getting darker then your body is gearing up to it.

I really recommend the ClearBlue digital ovulation tests for when the lines start to get darker, as sometimes it's a bit of guess work at that point and the digital ones are better.

I do cheapies until I see it getting darker, then switch to ClearBlue.

Thank you - which clearblue? is this the digital feritlity monitor?
