I used an OPK (Ovulation predictor dip stick actually) for 11 days straight and never got a positive result. Somewhere within that 11 days I got pregnant. I'm trying for my second 3 years later and haven't gotten a positive yet. Does anyone know how foolproof these are? Any similar situations?

I did ready Toni W.'s TCOYF book and totally agree there - just thought this was a good back up because my cycles are SO long!!

Yes, it happens a lot that an OPK is wrong. I keep recommending women *not* use them, but there are a lot of recommendations for them!
If you want to increase your odds of conceiving, I would suggest you read _Taking Charge of Your Fertility_ by Toni Weschler instead. It has a lot of useful information and is very readable. It will help you read your own body instead of trying to interpret test sticks.

Not all tests are accurate. You have to count in other factors. Biggest thing is not to stress over it or change your mind and then you will get pregnant.
