Help figuring this out..

in Trying to Get Pregnant

I am currently getting ready to TTC in a few months. I have always had very irregular cycles and could often go 6 months to a year between them. I was recently diagnosed with hypothyroidism and put on meds. This has actually for the first time in my adult life given me a somewhat regular cycle.

My OB/GYN suggested I start using OPKs to make sure I am ovulating. (I also just started temping as well). I tried my first test this morning and I'm stumped. I am pretty sure it is a negative but would someone be willing to double check for me.

I promise I won't be in here constantly bugging you ladies. It's just my first time and I don't know what I'm looking for. I tried other sites and just got more confused.

Thank you and I will go back to lurking until it's time for me to actually TTC

    Thank you ladies!!! I'm sure it will all make sense when and if I do see a positive. Now if I can just figure out this BBT we will be all set.

    Yup - negative. Needs to be as dark or darker. Start testing 2xs a day once it's getting close to make sure you don't miss your surge.
    How close would you recommend it being when I start testing 2x a day?

    A pee stick I don't mind seeing in an intro post;)  It is negative.  Some people have a fade-in pattern (i.e. it will get darker as you get closer). I usually start testing twice a day when the test line gets darker than yours is now.

    This.  I would often hum and hah over them, wondering if it's just close or actually positive until I get an actual positive and then it all becomes so clear :)   When my lines were about as dark as yours I would start testing twice a day so as to not miss my surge.  Good luck!

    Have you tried fertility friends for temping? I like it because the tutorials make everything understandable and it gives cross hairs on your O day. Good luck :D

    I totally get this question...I'm on my first month using the Wondfo OPK's and I haven't had a positive yet either. Hopefully I'll "know it when I see it" too!!! Good luck!

    @BankerBSN‌ that totally would have been a much better name! @1and1is3‌ and @MamaZEsquire‌ : I set up an account when I started temping. I've been exploring it to try and figure everything out. It's so amazing the amount of information I did not know about my body, as dumb as that sounds.
