OPKs - how long to wait for result?

Hello when you do onestep OPKs (the cheap ones from amazon), do you look at the result after 10 mins or 30 mins? It says on the back “positive results may be found within 1 minute but to confirm a negative result, the full reaction time of 10 mins is required. Results obtained after 30 mins may be considered invalid”. I just did a test and after 10 mins the second line was quite light but checking again just before 30 mins the second line is nearly as dark as the control line so these are very different results! Which reading should I consider valid?!

10 minutes. If it's positive it will be appear very quickly within a couple of minutes x

My OPKs (personally) take a good 10-15 mins to get dark. If it says results after 30 may be invalid then I would say anything up to 30 you can trust. Sounds like it’ll be positive soon so keep testing and BD Grin x
