If the test line is never as dark (it stayed slightly lighter) as the control line, does that mean I didn't ovulate at all?

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!

I'm not a doctor but I would say either no, you didn't ovulate or you may have missed your "LH" surge. You should take the test at the same time everyday and do it between the hours of 10am -8pm. In my experience it was not question, you will know when you ovulate because the test line DOES become DARK to equally DARK as the original line.

The ovulation test did not work when I used it. But the pregnancy test work best. It was also out of date but store them in a proper temp. Baby dust your way.

Yes. As I first started them there was little to no line. One day it was darker and then the next day the lines were equally the same color. So yes, out does get darker as you get closer then bam! Its dark so you definitely know.

That happened to me once and I confirmed with a wondfo test that it was indeed positive. I would assume its positive and that you will ovulate soon. So get busy!

Yes, exactly the same or darker. There will always be two lines on the ovulation predictor tests.

Picked up my pg at 9 dpo. Way more sensitive than the digital tests. Only thing is you need to wait about 15 minutes to see the faint line

I think so. There's a control line and test line the control line is dark red so you want your test line to match it not to be a faint but as dark as the control 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.

Yes but I have only had a couple do that though. I am 4.2 weeks now and my first response tests are as dark as the control and these tests still look almost negative.

If yoou are pregnant yes you should get 2 lines, the Control line should ALWAYS show up and the Test line will come up if you are pregnant. It sounds like maybe an invalid test which I didn't get any. I'd try again with a second test. If your period is 5 days late, using a test during the day instead of first morning urine should be fine just don't drink a lot right before you take it or your urine may become to diluted for it to pick up.

The control line ("C") should always be there, that's how you know the test is valid. If there is no control line at all then the test is invalid and you should take another. A line in both the control spot and test spot ("T") means you're pregnant. After how long did the test line appear? I haven't heard of it disappearing before so I'd take another test to be on the safe side. If a line appears in the test spot after 10 minutes, then it may be an evaporation line and does not mean you're pregnant (a test is invalid after 10 minutes because of this).

You're not ovulating yet. You have to keep taking them until they are the same color/shade.

The 12.5% dark last about 5 good days. When I sprayed again on day 7 there was still a faint line from before. Hope this helps!

The ovulation test only detects high levels of LH. The rise in Lutenizing hormone is what triggers release of the egg, which can happen around 12 to 36 hours after the spike in LH. So the ov test will tell you if your LH levels have risen to trigger ovulation, but it doesn't guarantee that ovulation actually occurs. This is why charting basal body temperature and cervical mucous is important in correlating when ovulation actually occurs. BBT will rise at least one half degree Fahrenheit 1-2 days after ovulation occurred. The rise in bbt is a guarantees that ovulation took place but it can't be used to predict ovulation, only confrm that it happened.

This test showed positive at 9 dpo. I was temping so I was able to confirm exactly when I O'd, and I saw a temp spike at 4 dpo so I was pretty sure I was pregnant by the time I used this test. It was a faint positive at 9 dpo and continued to get darker each day. By 12 dpo the test line was darker than the control line.

I found it to be sensitive, but waited until I was 2 weeks post ovulation to take a pregnancy test. It was the first test I took and it accurately indicated that I was pregnant. The ovulation tests are awesome too! GL :)

If you are having regular OV days every month then I would suggest do not rely on this test kit...you should always cross check with another brand test strips...
