I really am all screwed up!

So I started using those "O" strips on Fri....got a faint line and started ttc...
Sat. morning I take the test again (It says to use them for a few in a row) and NOTHING... I took another one just in case...and still nothing!
So now I figured I missed my days and another moth to TTC...
Sun. I said what the hell? I try again...and another faint line!
Then this morning..I got a nice RED line!

WHAT THE HELL!!

All I know is that I've been trying anyway to be on the safe side....but why is my system so wacky??

Re: I really am all screwed up!

I know what you mean- I had 2 lines the same, next day same, day after that only the ref line dark then next day real dark test line- so I dont know when I o'd??????????????? and my chart is wacky too-

Re: I really am all screwed up!

OPKs often show a faint line, for these, they aren't like an hpt where a line is a line and it is positive. Almost always, there should be 2 lines. There is the control line and the test line. The test line needs to be as dark, if not darker then the control line for the opk to be positive. Also, it is best to take the tests in the middle of the day, as this is when your Lh surges. But you need to hold your urine for 2-4 hours and not drink too much during that time.

Bottom line, if your line today is darker then the control line, BD today. You should O in 12-36 hours.
