OPK Question

Jessa · Jun 30th, 2009, 21:22 PM

This is my first cycle ever using opks and I'm curious to know whether they get darker over a few days until you get a positive?

Here's tonight's test:

I know it's not positive yet, but the tests have been getting darker over the past couple days. Is this normal? How long does it take after a line starts to show before you get a positive test?

Thanks, girls!

That was the case with me, however, there is always a presence of LH in urine, so it may just be showing your normal LH level. When I took them last month, I have a few with no lines, then a few that were light, and finally I switched to digital to keep myself from overanalyzing every line. They are more expensive, but worth the yes or no answer. Good Luck!

I know it varies by woman. Mine get darker and darker untill positive. Other women sometimes get negative, negative, then BAM positive.

Gotcha! Well, I dug yesterday's out of the trash can and put it next to tonight's. I'd like to see the progression as the days go by.

How often should I do a test? Once a day? Twice a day? What's the best time?
