Is a faint line ok? It is not as dark as the control line.

totally dependent upon the testing agency. If you are doing a test for employment with Hospital, they usually do test by themselves. And if the result is faint line, they may accept it as negative. Usually all Labs like quest, labwork etc would take the faint line as INCONCLUSIVE result. And again depends on your employer how they treat INCONCLUSIVE RESULTS.

I do the same and the color is good, not too dark, not to light, sorry for the delay did not see this.

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.

If you are sensitive to low level light sources in dark rooms, you may be bothered by the light level but it is not brighter than a number of other LED power on signal lights such as is found on TV consoles, electronic alarm clocks or other similar devices.

Either will work. The dark will give your piece a more aged look. The difference is very slight.

There will always be a control line. The second line will show up only if you are close to ovulating or ovulating. It got progressively darker before ovulation and lighter after ovulation and then blank. Once I got 2nd pink line I would start testing twice a day so I didn't miss ovulation.

If this is your only light source it may be to dark.I have other lights in the room.

Hi, no it's not that dark, but just a tad lighter. It's also a little on the thin side, so if you're expecting a sturdy hold, this might not be it. Good luck!

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

There is obvious light when set on it's dimmest setting, not obtrusive but still more than a night light. If you need absolute darkness to sleep this is not the light for you

According to directions in package the darkness of the line does NOT indicate strength. It is an all or nothing, second line shows up if negative, if positive no line

I would suggest repositioning it in the room, to make sure moving shadows or some other change in light level isn't causing the unit to think it's becoming dark and changing to night mode. Call V-tech support and see what they say, otherwise, yes, I'd agree the unit is defective.

I do not have any lines (light or dark) anywhere on the screen. Sounds like it maybe a defective unit.

I can tell you that for me, my line was NEVER as dark as the control line. It was very frustrating because I never knew whether I was actually ovulating or not. I finally learned that I was ovulating, even though my line was never as dark as the control, because I actually got preggo on a cycle in which that happened! It's all about learning how your own body works. I guess I just didn't make "enough" LH to show correctly on the test, but I started being able to judge when the line was as dark as it was going to get. Good luck!

I can't honestly answer that. It depends on your hormone levels. Some months, my line is faint for 10 days prior to ovulation. In my experience, a very faint line doesn't count. The line will be very dark (equal to the control line) the day before and the day of ovulation. I don't know that it will necessarily be DARKER. Others, it doesn't show up until a day or two before. Also, it will always be very dark if you are pregnant. How ironic that they show pregnancy and the pregnancy tests do not. I recommend a period tracking APP to help you. It has helped me a lot. Happy TTC!

Not at all. In fact, if you turn it up too bright, it'll make it more difficult because of the contrast. Generally, the darker it is outside, the darker you should keep your crosshairs

You can brighten or dim the light. If you dim it all the way it appears as if it is off.
