Question about OPKs

[geek96]

I ordered the set of Wondfo pregnancy tests with OPK tests. I am CD 7 and just tested. The whole strip is pink except for the one red line. I am not sure what I was expecting but am kind of bummed that I didn't see anything. I guess it's good since my cycle is pretty regular and am not due to ovulate until next Monday right?

What to you mean, the whole strip is pink? Mine are usually white, w/ a darker red line (two if positive).

[geek96]

There was one red line but the entire strip was kind of a pinkish color. It was odd since the sample strip looked white and mine wasn't.

[KaraOrNot]

Very odd! I would test again to see if it happens a second time.

I've had that happen. I wouldn't expect to see a surge that early in your cycle anyway.

[geek96]

I retested. I guess in my excitement I didn't notice that there was a max line and it shouldn't be submerged. Reading fail!

regular OPk's can be very hard to read. I had to use OPKs during my clomid/IUI cycles with my RE. I was so worried about msising it- that i used regular ones + digital ones + the CBEFM.

I can tell you that regular sticks that i thought looked positive looked NOTHING like a real positive, that I got on the same evening that my digital was positive (and the CBEFM was positive the next morning).

So the next time I was TTC i skipped the regular ones and jjust spent the money for the digital OPKs - so much better than worrying you didn't read it right, etc.

always take them in the evening after restricting liquids and holding your urine for a few hours for the best reading.

good luck!
