Cycle 1 & 2 I'd been using Answer Opk test strips. I did get pos with them, but I found it difficult to read if the line was actually same/dark (insert staring at opk test images via google). I heard through word of mouth that Clear Blue digi was more accurate, although very expensive.
I've been testing since cd8. Yesterday, cd12, I did CB digi & Answer strips that I had left over. CB gave me smiley face, Answer was neg. Today's tests both pos. Just thought it was interesting that I got a CB pos one day sooner than the Answer. I looked up some consumer reports on opks (I'd have to search it again if anyone's wanting specific source) and come to find out the Answer opks are considered the worst in detecting even high amounts of LH. Good thing I used CB digi, guess I detected the actual start of my surge, vs the middle or end of it. We've had sex past 2 nights & gonna continue tonight & tomorrow.
Anyway, sorry if this feels like the typical newbie blogs...
Just wanting to put something up for discussion, if anyone has had same thing happen. Not necessarily w/ the Answer strips, but just 2 different opk results.
Re: 2 different opks @ same time, 2 different results (not a newb ? just an observation & discussion)
I'm actually starting to temp, although this month is just as a trial. My work schedule is flexible that one day I might wake up at 7, the next 10. So I'm shooting for 7am everymorning. I started randomly on cd8, so I'm not expecting to be able to interpret it well. I just wanted to see if I can actually commit myself to serious temping - I like my sleep flexibility but I know I need to start temping if I truly want to detect O instead of assuming whatever my dpo might be.
I already know that Opk only confirms the lh surge gearing up, and means nothing in regards to actual O. This post was just about the interesting discovery of getting 2 different opk readings for the same urine test.
