Opk confusion

[fedupwithselfishness]

Hi I am trying to tracking my ovulation but am having problems with opks.
I have tested at the same times everyday since CD6 and all neg so far, (CD13 today) but this morning as I was desperate for the toilet and hadn't had my morning coffee I tested at 9am instead of 10am.
I put the test on the side and went for my coffee but forgot about the test.
when I went to brush my teeth at 9.20, I remembered the test and it is pos, (I think). should this be disregarded as the box says not to read results after 5 mins? sorry if tmi but the test strip (that u dip) is still wet, so... ? I don't have anymore tests so I can't do another one until 2pm (my next normal test time). I am charting my bbt as well and am experiencing a very slight dip in temp as well as ewcm, but no pain yet, which the normal indicator for me.
Also, I've checked the other tests (same brand) and all of them are still as faint as they were when I took them.
I've added a pic of the opk for ref
thanks

Hi OP. That test is negative because the test line needs to be as dark or darker than the control line. However,
If it's darker than normal it could be getting towards positive.

ok thank u @sirhubzAlot . I dont know why it has to be so confusing lol. This is my first cycle, actually tracking and testing everything properly but i really dont want to miss it as Dp is going away for 3 months on tuesday.

You don't have to stick to strict times of day to test. I would test once in the morning and once in the evening over days leading up to O. For 28 day cycle would start on CD 12 and keep going until you get a positive.

It's best to test morning and afternoon or you can miss it.

Oh right ok thank you. I read that the best time to test was between 10am and 8pm and to try to test at similar times.
