Ovulation test confusion

[ThreeAfter30]

Hi peeps just wondering if any of you lovely ladies can give a bit of insight..
This is our first month actively ttc, and my first month using ovulation tests.
I had a cp last month, usually have a 25-27 day cycle.
Im on cd13 today, ive been using ov tests since cd7, testing twice a day and from days 9-11 the tests got steadily darker but never as dark as control line.yesterday and today ive tested and its stark white.
Have i missed the surge? I usually test at about 8 or 9am and then again about 5/6pm.
We dtd cd6, 8&11. Ive prob missed it havent i?
Clueless i am! Lol

Oh it's hard to say either actually seeing them. If they weren't as dark as or darker than the test line then I'd say they were negative. I've never seen a test strip that is just white though, it always has two lines of varying colours. Is it worth doing another one in case that one was dodgy or invalid?

Earlier this month mine got fainter and fainter and then the next day it got dark all of a sudden and then later in the day it matched the control line. Some ladies say they never get a strong positive but still go on to get pregnant that cycle.

Oh and also have a look at whether your CM is fertile.

Ive just fished this mornings out of the bin and theres a second line though fainter than the others have been.
Ive had a small amount of ewcm the past few days and had a creamy tinged blob of ewcm this morning after bm (tmi sorry lol)
Thanks @dowhatyouwish, i'll just keep testing twice a day and see how i get on.
