Ayayay...

It's CD11, and I stupidly took an OPK yesterday, just one day after finishing this round of Clom.id. It was very dark. Now I'm worried...is it because of the Clom.id that it's dark, or am I O'ing early? My gut tells me I'm not O'ing this early, but when you have a very dark OPK staring you in the face it's rather nerve-wracking. I checked CP (high, medium firmness, medium opening). I check CM (creamy). I'm not having the heavy O pains either, so all of these things give me a little more confidence that I'm not O'ing early, but still...why, oh why did I take the OPK yesterday? I don't normally start them until CD12. I start doing the monitor sticks on CD10, but I don't start the OPK's until CD12. I took another OPK this morning to see if it was lighter than yesterdays because if it was, then it would give me a pretty clear answer if it was the Clom.id. But it was darker. (It figures.) Guess we'll BD tonight to cover our bases. Ay-ay-ay...this is so frustrating!!!!

I found this info, so it gives me hope that I just tested too early...

Q: Does Clomid cause problems with OPKs?

A: Clomid (Serophene/clomiphene citrate) can cause a false positive in OPKs if taken too soon after finishing the prescription. According to most of the manufacturers you should wait at least 3 days before using an OPK. If you take Clomid days 3-7 you can begin testing on day 10. If you take it 5-9, you should wait until day 12.

And I found this on another site...

Q: Can Clomid Interfere with OPK Test Results?

A: Clomiphene Citrate (Clomid/Serophene) can interfere with ovulation test results - generally in the form of a "false positive". However, clomid generally causes a false positive only if you perform an ovulation test too soon after taking the clomid - or too early in your cycle. Most drug manufacturers suggest you should not start testing with the ovulation predictor kit until several days after you finish the last dose of clomid/clomiphene.

So I'm going to take these sites at their word and just believe that I've tested too soon, and I'm getting false positives. Lord, please let them be false positives!!!!
