First month Ttc, been on microgynon 30 for 13 years.
No idea what is 'normal' for my cycle, stopped taking the pill the last week in May, started to do opk's to try and see when I could be ovulating. So far I've had just the one line, just done one this afternoon and can see a very faint red line! Also did a clear blue one and no smiley face but the test stick has a solid blue line and a faint blue line.
Does anyone think these may mean I might ovulate soon?

These are negative. The test line must be as dark or darker than the control line to indicate that ovulation may happen shortly.

For opks you need the second line to be as dark or darker than the control line, so you're not near ovulation yet. When you get a positive you'll usually ovulate between 12-36 hours later. Good luck

Yeah I knew for it to be positive that the lines had to be really dark, just wasn't sure if the faint lines may mean something but guess not! Thanks anyway.
It's too easy to become obsessed isn't it lol. I have friends who have been ttc for years after coming off the pill, but also helpful friends who take great delight in telling us all how they got pregnant the first time they dtd after stopping the pill, and even more conceive by 'accident'
