Update on the OPK's

Soooooo I just learned how OPK's really work...and I may not have actually O'd Photobucket

I may have and when I tested it could have been right after that, since they have gradually gotten a little lighter...but who knows. I think I will start temping, but do understand that 100% either. I know how to do it, just don't really understand what you look for in the temps?

Hey, this is the first entry in your blog I was actually able to comment on. Something is wrong with the older entries :p
anyway.... WELCOME TO BLOG LAND!

And yes, it sounds like you have the hang of OPKs now. The test line needs to be as dark OR darker than the control line. It's negative if it's a faint line. Not like HPTs at all :(
Temping is only good for establishing whether or not you have O'ed, and when... and when AF is going to come, or not come. You look for a sustained rise in temps and fertility friend will automatically plot an O date if you have three consecutive days that are above your "coverline"... which is like a base temperature line Pre-Ovulation.
You can read a lot about temping on the fertility friend site.
