the cryptic ovulation predictor

I think next cycle instead of using an OPK I'll just head over to a psychic's.  It's not possible for that to be less accurate than an OPK and I wouldn't have to avoid drinking and hold my pee for 4 hours!    So while we were at the in-laws' for the holiday we did manage to stick to the "schedule".  So I don't think my lack of success with ovulation prediction really had a bearing on the results of this month, but it's still aggravating.  So here's how it went down:  I took a test on Wednesday (day 14 out of a potential 32 day cycle) and got a dark-ish line but not as dark at the test strip, Thursday/Thanksgiving I took one and got nothing...nada...no test line, no results line, just nothing.  I didn't have the time or inclination to attempt another one that day, Friday (day 16) I took one and it was super light compared to the test line.  So I am assuming if Thursday's would have "developed" it would have been positive, but we'll never know.  Since the only person I talk to about infuriating OPKs is hubby we had a 20 minute conversation about how maddening they are, on the way home.  I'm sure it wasn't his favorite topic, but he did a nice job of supporting me and how right I am and how wrong the ovulation strips are!  So like I said next month I'll take the usual $10 I would spend on an OPK and try to find a fertility psychic who will give me a reading :)
