How to read OPKs
So today is the first day I've got a ridiculously faint, can hardly see it unless squinting pink line on the OPK.
But on the packet, it says it has to be the same / darker than the control line to count as a 'positive' OPK.
So am I right in thinking ovulation happens 24 - 36 hours AFTER I get the dark pink line (i.e. ignore the faint one now, as it'll probably be darker tomorrow?)
Thanks

Yep, unless it's as dark or darker, it's neg. Don't start counting hours till you've had an actual pos.

I just wanted to include a picture so you know what you are looking for..
See how they get progressively darker.. the bottom one is clearly darker than the control line, and that's your + OPK!

For me, when I took opks I'd take 2-3 a day (like every 4 hrs) where this person only took 1 a day. You have to be careful you don't miss your surge, because that is possible too!Age 7 5 MC May 2012 BFP June 2012 My ~*Princess*~ is now 3 yrs old! MC May 2015 Chemical June 2015

Hello everyone. I am new here but not new to swaying. I have 3 boys who are 7, 5 and 18 months old. I did not sway with my first two as I knew nothing about swaying and I wanted them to be boys...
Praying for a baby girl after 3...
