Ovulation Tests - can't tell my arse from my elbow

Hi all-

Had an early loss (6w) in November. We're so keen to conceive again I've started on the OPKs now my cycle seems to have sorted itself out. I'm lucky in my cycles are pretty regular, 28 days.

I was testing as per the instructions and it said obviously that a positive should be the same colour or darker than the test line. Whilst one of these lines (02.01) is very slightly darker than the rest of the other results, it still seems pretty borderline to me. I'm wondering what you guys think? Do you think that's a positive?

I would have been due to ovulate as per my app on 03.01 so wouldn't be too far off, but it's been a very stressful few weeks with a cancer diagnosis in the immediate family. I'm so worried I'm not ovulating with the worry- vicious cycle!

If you're on this board and and have read this I hope you get your BFP soon x

I'd have said 2nd Jan was positive which is in line with your expected ovulation on 3rd.

Yeah I'd go with the 2nd too. Sometimes you miss the peak of you only test once a day so that could have been levels rising or decreasing either side of the peak.
