Ovulation tests

[Happy03]

Hi all,

So I came off my mini pill 9th November been doing ovulation tests now and again but at least 2 a week, which I know defeats the object but the end of November there was a visible but faintish positive line but nothing since? Does this mean I am at least ovulating?

Thank you

If you got a faint line, that means it's negative. The test line has to be the same colour/darker than the control line (depending what tests you use) We all have some LH present which is why a line will normally show up every time you test. During the run up to ovulation, the amount of LH will increase which is when you will likely get a darker line indicating a higher amount of LH. Hope that helps :)

Thank you very much for your advice it seems since the I've not even had a faint line and I've taken it badly :(

You should at least get a very faint line as the test will detect some level of LH. Could you maybe try another brand of OPK? I know that they can be frustrating for some women as they can just always seem to read negative and it puts them into a panic thinking they aren't ovulating but then they've changed test brand/type and that's worked. I'm sure you have nothing to worry about :)

You need to do them every day, it's easy to miss the hormones surge.

Thank you guys since that first one where I had a faint line I've seen nothing am I doing something wrong? Think I will try different brand? Unless I'm doing something wrong :s. What's the best Tim of day?
Dos and don'ts please?

Thanks
