I have been using wondro and got positive but this month ordered more were different brand. I had two light lines cd 13 & 14 , lots of signs o pain..very strong, ewcm, etc , today all signs gone. Could I have ovulated but didn't pickup or happened in middle of night? I did it twice a day. Day 13 at like 7 pm is when I got little line then yesterday day 14 at like 11am. They were never as dark as control. Looked like they had been drawn with pencil if that makes sense? Then today no line.we have bd almost everyday this week...should be covered but worried about ovulating:(

I suggest continuing to test. If you can, use a digital along with the strips. I thought I might have skipped ov this cycle, but I JUST ovulated last night (CD24), which is very unusual for me (to ov so late). The line should be as dark or darker than the control line.

The digital will help confirm the positive on the strip when that comes in.

I thought about doing temps to in my next cycle if this doesn't work...kind of mad I didn't this month:(...are digital ones expensive?

We spent $45 on digital OPKs this month, for 10 tests. I consider that expensive. Although you can get them on Amazon.com for much less (I didn't have time for that this time). I'm also using the Clearblue Fertility Monitor, which many women have had success with, because it tests for estrogen AND LH. It's expensive as well, but I found mine on eBay for $110, including 25 test strips (that's a fair deal). 

You can definitely get away with the test strips, but I like using the digital OPK and monitor to confirm, since my eggs are a little rocky these days. Good luck!

Maybe I'll add some digital ones to I'm usually 24-28 day cycle...I started on cd 10 and tested today cd15 ...I'm wondering if my green tea and water intake diluted my stick..?
