Ah! Finally, a positive OPK!!!

As you all know, I have been frustrated with the fact that I have yet to see a positive OPK. Well, all that nagging of mine must have kicked my system into gear because I tested with Wondfo tonight and it was positive. I brought it to DW because it seemed too close to call, the control line looked darker, but it was so hard to read. Then, I realized I was reading it backwards! The darker line was actually NOT the control line! I'm so excited!!!

 We are still waiting before we actively TTC, but this is an amazing step in our journey! EEK! I'm pumped! I ran out of digital tests last week so I can't "confirm" but this will make me happy anyway.

Thanks for listening :D The lines look the same in the pic, but in person, you can definitely see it :)

    Thanks! I tested again this morning with FMU and it was even more positive, if that's possible :D
