digital opk?

So i spent the money and invested in the digital opk kit this month because im willing to try anything that might help us convince. With the non digital sticks i was getting a positive anywhere from day 13 to 17. Ive followed all of the instructions, today is day 18 and im still getting a no. My body is sure showing other signs of ovulation. Has anyone else had this happen to them? We have been BDing everyday for the last week just to make sure we are hitting the mark. Thoughts? TIA

are you peeing at least twice a day to ensure you capture your fertile window? some women have a very short O window and your peak could be missed if you only test once a day. also, are you making sure to hold fluids for a few hours before peeing? dilute urine can mess up the result. as long as your CM hasn't dried up you prob haven't O'd yet. just my thoughts.

I never found OPKs to work for me.  Temping and CM were my best indicators.

OPKs have never worked for me either.  I would agree with @jodee37 about diluted urine and that maybe you are ovulating later this cycle. I always had good luck with the Clear Blue Easy Fertility monitor when I used it during my first 2 TI cycles with clomid because it was so easy.  I ended up never getting a positive ovulation though and had to be triggered.  Goodluck!!

I can't tell from your siggie if you have a secondary infertility diagnosis, if you don't,  this type of questions is much better over at TTTC (trouble trying to conceive) or TTTAS (trying to conceive a second).  

Best of luck.

I had Clearblue Digital OPKs that I planned on using alongside temping and charting when we first started TTC. It was a "2 month supply" for $50.

Unfortunately, I have PCOS, my temps are all over the place and I have periods without ovulating. Even still, I picked up the LH surge for 3 days, sometimes peeing twice a day, sometimes just once in the morning. We BD every other day leading up to that and every day when I got a positive.

....Obviously still no baby.

OPKs are an ok tool to use if you're also charting/temping but they don't confirm ovulation, just the presence of the hormone released before ovulation.
