Okay, I've been doing BBT and charting CM, but this is the first month that I've religiously used OPKs (I'm using dollar store brand). Do you veterans mostly find that the tests line gets gradually darker as you get closer to ovulation or is there nothing and then BAM! a positive OPK? TIA for the knowledge!

Last month, i faded in over about 3 days, and then went directly back to a squinter 24 hours after my first positive test. I will always have at least a squinter line. i guess my base levels of LH are high enough that i never get an actual stark white OPK.
Stark white HPTs are another thing entirely. I get those all the time. Sigh.
Last month i also strated using the OPKs too early i think and i caught a mini-surge on CD12-13...so i briefly faded in until i was ALMOST positive, but it never actually got positive. I actually O'ed the day that i received my first positive reading (CD19).
