The instructions say even a very faint line indicates passing, but does a brighter line indicate higher sperm count by comparison to a faint line?

No. Whether a faint or bright line, it does not matter. The result is the same = Good sperm count or not. Keep in mind that the test does NOT take into account how the sperm is traveling, etc. That plays a role. This test only indicates sperm count.

The spongey part is what soaks up the urine. It is only positive if a you see a faint or dark purple line parallel & close to the control line. I wish I could attach photos of my positive tests to show you what a positive test looks like. It sounds like you have a negative test. When you get a positive one you'll know. Continue to test until you see a distinct line or you get your period. I was testing once a day (first urination of the day is always best) for a good 5 days before I saw a line. If you are tired & have tender breasts then definitely keep testing. When in doubt buy a digital test. The spongey part is what soaks up the urine.

I dont even think its going to be the exact same color. It's just that the test line will be really prominent. I just happened to be ovulating today and I took a photo of it. I have confirmed it with clearblue ovulation kit as well, so I am definitely ovulating. Hopefully this link works. If it doesn't, copy paste it. It's a photo of my test indicating I am ovulating. http://imgur.com/XeSMMP5

well I had multiple tests and if you see even a faint line it's supposed to mean you fall below the threshold but as time progresses you will see the line get dark and instead of "thinking" you see something, you definately will see a dark bolder line. Be warned though it will never be the same depth of color as the other line. Even someone clean for years still has a dark control and a lighter negative line. I just took it as getting close but no dice and gave it a few more days and got the easy to see clean line.

The fertility indicator lights will illuminate immediately after you have taken your temperature. You can also see them if you look at past days. You will not see the lights if you are just looking at the time on the display.

I am not sure what the statistics are but I would say they are very sensitive. I was only 2.5 weeks along when I tested and got a positive line before I missed my period (2-3 days before if I remember correct).

With the ovulation tests I've noticed I will often get a second line that's pretty light until I get the LH surge and then it gets darker. It can stay dark after it's positive for a few days but then it should fade. If it's the same color for a week I wonder if you haven't ovulated yet?

Not really but it's pretty easy to understand.....when the line is just as dark as the control line, you are about to ovulate

the instructions state a true positive is the same color as the control linebut on the day I was sure I was ovulating mine was a little darker

Faint is still positive. I got a faint line even with high hcg levels. Congrats!

8 DPO but it was a very, very faint positive. I didn't get a dark positive test until about 11 DPO.

Yes it is still a line. A line means negative even it is very faint. I sound so confident because I have used these for quite a while. And a lot of research has taught me, a faint line or a bright line. A line is a line.

I did not get a positive with this test but I believe it should be vertical, the same as the control line but I am not positive about that. Mine did not come with instructions either. Be careful b/c I did notice that due to the heart shape window, it causes a shadow that can look like a vertical line.

I had a faint line one morning with this test- got quant hcg the same day, and it was only 5.7. I also got a light line the day before a quant hcg of 11.

The test line darkens as the hormone the test detects increases in your body. Indeed, several months into pregnancy the test line may be so dark it actually lightens the control line. Darkness of the line doesn't really matter though. If there is a test line and control line you are pregnant.

Wondfo is notorious for indents and evaps that look like faint positives. Test with something else ASAP. (I mean, I'm sure the asker must know one way or the other by now, but for future reference...)

for ovulation they must be the same color or the test line must be darker. I always have 2 lines to, but a positive was obvious when I finally got one :)
