Even thought the test line is just about as dark as the test, mine fade in so the test line will get darker.... I am not sure if I should start counting for ovulation now or when the test line is at its darkest. Does anyone know the answer to this?
Its important because it determines if I am going to BD again so Id really appreciate some input.
also ive read different things from different places as to how long after the pos opk women ovulate....I hear 12 hours, 24 hours, and 32....can you let me know what is the average or whats typical for you?
Thanks a bunch
ps: control line is near the blue

technically it's not... but often that's as dark as some people get with cheapies. I'd get a proper brand test to confirm it.
Is it significantly darker than yesterdays?

If that were mine, I'd call it a negative. But I almost always get a negative that looks like that--I call them 'almost positives'--the day before my real positive. With wondfos, my true positives are clearly positive (test line is darker than control) and they come up very quickly, whereas the 'almost positives' take a bit longer to show up. But I've used wondfos for a while, so I know my typical pattern on them. If you're uncertain and have $$$ to spend, you can always buy the clear blue digital test kit, which can help you distinguish between 'almost positives' and real positives.
I generally o about a day after my true positive opk, but I've never been able to pinpoint it more precisely than that.
Good luck this cycle!

Hmm, well what's your experience with them? Some ladies only get the test line as dark as the control. So it could be a +
With me, mine does get much darker than the control with cheapies.

Atomic, just to verify so when I take an opk and I get both lines show up and they aren't really dark I'm suppost to count my hours from then, and not wait until they get darker and then count my hours.? Oh my I think I have been doing it wrong.

if test line is as dark or darker than control it is positive
you count from the first pos opk do not wait for darkest test
not sure how else to put it??
