Teri,

Not sure it'll help you, but... when I use ovulation tests between when I ovulate and when I get AF, the darkness of the line does vary from invisible to quite dark (but not so dark as when I surge). Some women find that the tests don't work for them at all... so I would definitely ask your dr. They should be able to tell you if you are ovulating.

On the not peeing for 4 hours thing... I can't do that either! My RE tells me to have something to drink with breakfast, empty my bladder after breakfast, empty my bladder at 10AM, and do the ov test at noon, while having nothing to drink between breakfast and noon. That, I find I can do, and the ov tests do seem to work fine for me. I have always managed to detect my surge that way anyway!

Good luck! Let us know what the doctor says next month! Not long now.
