timing q

this is my first natural cycle since december so i don't expect it to work but i can't help myself i am trying.  anyway, i got a ton of ewcm yesterday, cd 11, tested with the opk (several times throughout the day b/c i got so much ewcm i couldn't believe) and it was always negative.  due to ewcm, bd last night anyway.  tested opk this morning, looks almost positive, dark, but not darker than the control line.  do i still have a few more days to wait for O? i will keep testing, but this is so damn hard to get the right time.

Since the test is now lighter, I agree, the one earlier today was probably positive...and since you also have EWCM, I would definitely BD again tonight! I'm guessing you'll ovulate sometime tomorrow! Best of luck this month, alikat!

i tested again and it is lighter (still there, but not as dark as this morning) so i guess i caught my surge, although i will keep testing.  i'll try to bd again tonight, but was last night better or tonight?  you would think i would have this figured out by now but i am still confused!  i also had ewcm today which for me is very unusual, i usually only get one day and since i am going natural this month, i didn't expect anything at all!

If the test line is as dark or darker then it's positive. If you are having crazy ewcm then my guess is your close to Ov. BD every day just in case.

Yes I hate those lines -- the best is the clearblue eary digital opk tests -- they are more expensive but you don't have to interpret anything -- If there is no surge detected you get a circle and when surge has been detected you have a smiley face.  They are great.
