Default First cycle with OPK's - have questions!

Hello! I've started using OPK's this cycle. I started using them when the directions said too (cycle day 10 I think). They've been stark white except for Tuesday, there was a very faint second line. Wednesday was stark white again. I expected the line to get darker on Wednesday and progress until it matched the control line. Fertility Friend says today is my likely O day but my body isn't showing it's normal O signs. I'm just confused.....and a little impatient too!

In my experience....When it was light in the morning I would take another at night just to make sure I didn't miss the surge...

What type are you using? I had problems with the cheapie internet ones.

I did two a day often times. My fm was very reliable though.

I tried using OPK's but it was too confusing is this like darker or that one...finally I went out and bought the Clear Blue Easy Fertility Monitor.I'm getting ready to start my second month using it and so far it has been very accurate and easy to understand! Hope this helps

I have the internet cheapies. I've heard they've given a few others a tough time too. If I don't get pg this cycle I'm planning on doing the CB.
