I'm Currently Feeling: | OPK's When u test with OPK's do u always get a faint line and then nearer the time to ovulation it gets stonger??
With mine i get no control line at all then a few days before ovulation it is light and it gets darker each day, then it goes back to no line at all.
just wondering if this was the same for everyone else. I use ebay cheapies. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I have just started using Clearblue digis. The test line when I got my smiley was the same darkness as the control line.
Good luck lovely xx |

| Hon, you should always get a control line (eg. the line that comes up straight away). If you don't, it means the test's defunct or you're not doing it properly.

I'm Currently Feeling: | As Trix said - there is always a control line but if you mean do you get a faint 2nd line before OV well then yes, that can come and go because we always have a bit of the LH hormone. But it does start faint then get darker gradually for some people or some ladies have no line then suddenly dark lines on the day/day before OV. |
