Hi sunny, I also used the digital one too and didn't get a positive. The lines on the other ones were not even close to being the same color so I know that it wasn't positive. :O)
ovulation???
June 14, 2008
Hello Everyone,
I guess I'm just sharing my recent experience with you, I'm a little confused and trying not to get too down about it. This month as some of you might remember I couldn't do meds b/c after last month's cycle I had 3 cysts. My doc told me to still try to use OPKs at home and do timed intercourse. Dr. Q and things I have read on line say that one might not even ovulate with cysts but I guess it could depend on the size and other variables. So I felt a little helpless thinking I might not ovulate so I turned to acupuncture, which I really do enjoy and it is helping me to relax and giving me hope and making me feel like I am able to do something. I am still doing opks at home. I got really excited because I started to get a light line telling me that I would get the surge soon. Then when I tested yesterday the line completely went away. I got the light line for two days in a row on a few different tests b/c I'm trying to see if the cheap ones work too so I know it wasn't just a bad test since I used a few different ones and got it a few times. So now yesterday and today--NOTHING!!!! The line has completely disaperared. HOW DID THIS HAPPEN???? HELP :O( So we did bd but I'm really confused. Guess I just have to hope that either I get a BFP or that AF shows quickly so I can start another cycle. Can't wait for my next acupuncture apt. so I can relax again :O) Lots of luck to everyone!!!! Thanks for listening/ reading :O)

Hey Jenstar, there are a couple of things here..
You always have LH in ur urine. So, there will be a line all the time. As you said, u are looking for a 'surge' which means a sudden increase in LH. Dr Q had said in an earlier post that the surge lasts for 3 hrs or so. So, theres nothing like lines getting darker leading to a surge. It is sudden. Sometimes u see the light line or sometimes u dont or sometimes fading away depending on the concentration of the specimen.
So, if you did not get a + yet, keep testing, I am sure you will. Continue having sex though coz u never know when the right time is,
Good luck

Thanks Sunny and Hope, I'm on cd16 today. I stopped testing b/c I thought that I missed it but we did BD last night and two nights
before that and a few night before that so I hope we have it covered. I guess I got confused b/c I used to always use the digital tests with the happy face. I thought that when using the lines you would have the one "control" line that is always there and then when it was getting close to the LH surge the test line would be light and get darker until it was the same color as the control line giving you the +. I guess I should have just kept using the digital tests. Thanks for your help :O)
