So I started my second round of clomid 50mg about two weeks ago. I took the OPK tests and they all came back negative. Earlier this week I went in to check my progesterone (sp) levels. It turned out that I did indeed ovulate. I was highly upset because I was timing everything based on the OPK's. Has anyone else had a negative result but later found out that they were ovulating? I'm just upset that I missed my opportunity to conceive.
I only use digitals because there is no interpreting lines, you either get a circle or a smiley face.
Also you should be testing between 11am and 8pm after holding your pee for 2-3 hours or more and not drinking a lot during that time, as not to dilute your urine.
Some women have a very short surge and have to test twice, once in the morning and once in the evening to catch their surge on an OPK. Most women do not have to do that. Most of the women I know have gotten better results testing in the afternoon or early evening. I know testing between 5-6pm is usually best for me.
Hope that helps!
