I'm by no means an OPK expert, but my first and only experience with them so far was positive (or maybe just shy of positive, almost the exact same color darkness of lines), then faded out the next day to negative, then a strong positive again a few days later. The temp shift didn't happen until after the second positive, so I guess my body was gearing up to o, then stopped for whatever reason and then did the real deal, which apparently can happen.
I think they say that you just try to do it until the temp shift confirms the o.
I have used the opk's that give you a O or I think they are easier to read then the colored strips.
I've been using both, the digital has been negative, but I ran out yesterday and I'm hesitant to buy a $36 package of more.
I buy them through subscription on Amazon - they're a little bit cheaper. I can't do the Wondfos, they make me crazy. Is it? Is it not? I need that smiley face.
Wait, where do you get them Rose? Just the sticks? It seems they all come with the little plastic thing.
They do - I wish I could buy just the sticks! It's always the full thing, but I think I only pay about $30 for them, and one box usually lasts two months now that I kind of know when I O.

I know, I guess it depends on the screen though, çause on my phone they looked like they were really getting lighter, on my laptop not at all, and here they look like they've been going up and down - which makes me think it's just slight differences per stick, not actually a real change in your urine.
I think they're definitely getting darker - the outer edge of the line (closest to the pee!) especially. You'll most likely see a + in the next day or so. I've learned not to go by my EWCM since I seem to get it all throughout my cycle. And FTR, I keep things I pee on, too!
