This morning I woke up and decided to use one of my last OPK test strips (I'm out of the First Response Tests, and I'm not sure I trust them because they were pretty much positive all the time anyway). I've never had an OPK test strip turn positive, however. Until today that is. At least I think it was positive. Part of the line was way darker and brighter than the control line, but part of it was faded. Anyway, it was the darkest it has ever been for me, so I took that as a "positive" sign. I'm on CD 18 here so ovulation has got to be just around the corner! My only concern is that I tested in the morning and I read that you're not supposed to use morning urine (although it was not my "first" morning urine). I don't know if morning urine would result in a false positive or false negative. Anyway, of course I'll test later this afternoon and see what happens.
Poor D. He has been attacked relentlessly since CD 12. He usually enjoys sex, even begs me for it. But the last few days have been hard for him, as it's been more like a death march than sweet lovin'. Ah well, not much longer now. I'm thinking today will be the last day. My last cycle I ovulated on CD 19, PLUS it's a full moon tomorrow, so I think (hope) that I will wake up tomorrow with an elevated temp!

I've heard that first morning urine is bad for OPKs because the LH becomes concentrated from sitting there all night. Second morning urine should be much better than first, but around 2:00 in the afternoon is the most accurate for OPKs. I've read that this is the time your LH naturally surges. You're supposed to hold your urine for a couple of hours and not drink (the theory being that it will dilute the urine).
