Update to my opk strips. After reading reviews on these tests, I'm wondering if there is a false negative here. By my calculations, I typically ovulate cd 14-17. None of these look positive, but some look faulty right? I feel like I had ovulation pain today, but this is only my 4th month trying, so I'm not super confident in my ability to recognize the symptoms yet. Thoughts?

Hmmm that's a weird one. It does look like you were getting darker before you marked date on the next days opk. Looks to me you ovulated after the 3pm/ 8pm. Within that 12 ish hour time frame so when you tested at 3pm next day, You got that slightly positive opk. You are holding pee/ fluids 2 hours prior to testing? The opks go that watery drenched colour after a while because of the bacteria etc from your pee. So I don't think it's faulty.

I'm not great at holding water, but that Sunday afternoon I believe I did, since I took a nap that day. If I don't get my bfp this month I think I'll buy some opk with better reviews (wondfo?), and make a better effort at holding my urine before testing. Also side note, my cm is creamy tonight, so I must have already ovulated right?

Have you done that stretchy cm test, see how far it will stretch too? Believe it or not I actually don't get that stretchy clear cm, mines is more of a clear milky cm (dunno why :/ ) but reading up on it, it's totally normal. I get more leading up to AF than I do during fertile week. Anyway... the opks I used were the one step opks. They are quite good.

That's really helpful. I haven't had any stretchy or eggwhite cm. It's creamy, and than was wetter a couple days ago, and seems creamy again today.

I use Wondfo and get obvious positives. There is no guessing involved at all. Clear as day. Give them a try.

Watery CM is also fertile. Not everyone sees their EWCM especially if you don't check your cervical! Good luck!

Just wanted to update you ladies. Didn't get pregnant last month, despite some good timing. And never really got a positive lh. So I bought some wondfo opk and I think they're a lot better. Still no positive, but they are clearer, and are picking up something. Fingers crossed!
