Should I just stop testing?
Okay its CD21 and I am still testing with the CB DOPK waiting for a smiley face - I have gotten negative results for the past 6 days. My cycle averages 33 days.
I did get two lines on a cheap OPK on CD14 and CD15 (and the only EWCM so far this cycle on CD15 but a small amount only) but figured they might not be true and kept using the digital ones. I feel like giving up this month but just wanted to see if you ladies thought I may not have O'd already...
thanks- I know I am driving you all nuts.

Re: Should I just stop testing?
First off, you're not driving us nuts!
You are frustrated and confused, and want some advice/answers 
Second, why do you think your OPK wasn't true?

Re: Should I just stop testing?
THank you - you are SO nice.
Because the second line was never darker than the control line - CD14 it was lighter, CD15 it was definitely darker but I dont think it was as dark but CD16 I did not get a second line.
I suppose I was going by the online calculators telling me that I was going to O on a certain date - yesterday and it kind of threw me for a loop. Also if I did O on CD15 that would bring my expected AF back a few days too.

i don't know that mine have ever been AS dark - but they've been 'as dark as they're going to get'...and that's usually good enugh...

Thanks Jess. So if you got the two lines two days in a row and not the third which day would you say you O'd on?
Thanks

Thanks
they say you O 24-36 hours after your first positive...so i'd say somewhere between the first and the second maybe....
eta: a lot of girls get two days of positive opk's - me? I always stopped testing after getting a 'dark enough' line....

Re: Should I just stop testing?
Thanks a lot Jess - I think the online calenders are the ones confusing me more than myself. On FF even after I had put in the OPK positive on Sunday and Monday its showing as my expected O day was thursday! I was expecting it to change based on the data I put on my chart.

that is truly bizarre - but FF can be wonky and weird like that...don't let it phase you... take it as a lesson learned and now you know what to expect, maybe....
