I've been off birth control for 9 months and the doctor said she was going to give me a couple more months to see what happens in the mean time chart, I've charted and have had only 2 af's in that time. Anyway its time for me to O I feel like I am going to but the OPK is just 2 lines its never darker than the control line, so has anyone ever conceived with just 2 lines. It was like that last month too?? which i obvisously didn't

What brand of OPK are you using? I have had a lot of problems with the Answer brand the last couple of months, and I will be starting to use ic's next month hoping that they will give me a better result!

I get IC's (cheap ones from ebay) and test 2-3 times a day - you can easily miss your surge if you only test once.

when i swtarted testing many times a day, i got positive OPKs.

and also - you certainly dont need OPKs to conceive - just BD when you see EWCM, that works. OpKs dont mean you are ovulating for sure, jkust give you an idea, just like EWCM.

GL!

I never got a true positive on ICs - even when I was using them 2-3 times a day.

I am using Answer brand, I guess it might be the brand. Thanks. I'll try something else next time! I feel like I was less confused before I started using OPK! I just look them up on ebay?

Yes just look up ovulation predictor tests....I just got a bundle at auction yesterday from ebay, had 20 opks and 5 hpts in it for 7.99 and then 3.00 for shipping!! A whole lot cheaper than buying them in the store so I will see how they work out for me this cycle (if it ever starts!!)
