The OPK trial has not cleared up any questions thus far. I started testing a week ago and got these results (the line has to be equal to or darker than the control line for a +):
blank
slight
medium (pretty close to a positive but definitely not)
slight
shadow
blank (yesterday)
Looks like my body gave it an effort but did not succeed.
So I have come to 1 of 2 conclusions:
1. I will not ovulate this month/ the Metformin isn’t having me ovulate without Clomid
2. I haven’t ovulated yet and need to keep taking OPKs. I guessed that I would ovulate on the 1st anyway so that’d mean a + opk today or tomorrow. I could also be late a couple days.
In any case, my body still isn’t normal like this:
Gathering Rosebuds
Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, old time is still a-flying
Maybe ya need the clomid as an extra “umph” to push that Ovulation further. I’m glad you are doing some trial runs as I think it helps with piece of mind when you are doing the real cycle.
I’m so excited for you. I love reading about your trying again.
