Today is the first day I have tested using OPK, so please excuse my ignorance.....
I believe I received a + OPK today for the first time. But I am a little weary because a) I am on CD 42 with no sign of O or AF b) I new to OPK's and I am not sure I am reading it right. So could you please offer you opinions on my OPK? I am unsure if the second line is dark enough to be classified as a +. I *think* it is but I am unsure if it's wishful thinking on my part! I mean, it seems too good to be true to have a + OPK on my first test after 42 days of low temps.
And I should offer another apology. I am a new Mac Computer owner and I don't know how to PIP or make a link clicky......
TIA!

Thanks for the feedback, even if it wasn't what I wanted to hear!
One more question - why would you say it's negative? If it's + would the second line much darker than the control? Again, sorry for the ignorance, I am new to OPKs. I have tried to Google pics of + OPK's but nothing answered my questions.

I can't see the pic to tell you if I think it's - or +....but I know of a great site with lots of pics to compare it too.

When I take a OPK and it's +..it's totally obvious....the test line starts showing up right away and it's usually darker, or the same color as the control. Now, when I take them, if the test line doesn't start to show right away I don't even wait the 3 min to see if it comes up.
Unexplained secondary infertility...bleh. Gave it a few more tries and BFP on 3/31
