(OPK's) I have a headache already...

Okay so to be honest with you it seems like I had a positve yesterday and today. But it was not just a dark as the original line on the test. It was darker than usual but not as dark. (Oh boy I hope I made sense) So here is my question should I just remove all the OPK results from FF there for it does not mess with the CH? I feel lost about the OPK this sucks because I was so confident now I feel like a dumb urse. TIA!

Or should I just mark them positive and hope I was right...yea headache is getting bigger. When you have your positive is it as AS dark as the original line? Yup it is official I feel like a dumb urse....

Positives are when the test line is as dark or darker than the control line.  I can definitely tell when I have a positive vs. an almost positive.  In that case, I mark negative in FF, but I still consider myself fertile and DH and I have lots of sex. 

Good luck!  I know it's frustrating.  I'm always so relieved when I get a positive and can stop obsessing!

I haven't had a positive OPK yet (still waiting!), but as long as it is as dark or darker than the control line, it is positive.

I use the internet cheapies, do you?

Pretty sure for it to be considered positive it needs to be as dark or darker than the control line.  You might have just missed your surge when you took them, so you didn't see a definite positive.

If you're not sure, I'd leave them off of your chart.  FF will still be able to tell that you O'd by using your temps.

Good luck!

I am having such a hard time with this, this month.  BUT when I got my two positives they were VERY obviously positive.  I wouldn't mark until it is obvious.

Thank you ladies and yes I am using the internet cheapies...I feel better I will continue to mark them negative.

I love the internet cheapies, because well, they are cheap! But somtimes I wish I could use the digital ones. But when you have crazy long cycles and don't know if you are ovulating, it's a wase of $$ imo.

Good luck! Hopefully they become more definitive!

Did you ever have one that was just as dark as the original line?  I usually don't mark them unless they are the same color.

Unless you are 100% postive I would not mark it in FF.  FF takes into account + OPKs when determining O.

I used to have the same problem where I was second guessing if my OPK was +.  I now use the internet cheapies but I PIAC and if I think it is + I will confirm with a a digital.  Even though the digitals are pricey they really take the guess work out it.
