Recording OPK results

I've been using OPK and know to leave it 5-10 minutes ;depending on what brand you use) but;

I notice that the line 'develops' after about an hour.

I use the Femometer app and my reading was only 42 after ten minutes, one hour later the same test it's 60 and much darker. I've no idea what to consider as the 'true' reading. What do you think?

Thank you, from Clueless 🤷‍♀️ 😂

You should only look at them after 10 mins anything after that is invalid. Xx

I look at mine after 20 mins each time. The ones I use are valid from 3-30mins. So far it’s correlated with temps! I don’t see the difference it makes as long as you’re consistent each time and the test isn’t dried out.

@MrsSokhi @CouscousEvaporator thank you both so much. I think it's fair to say I don't think I ever ovulate. I'm due to go to the doctors next week so fingers crossed. Thank you both again

Opk strips didn't work for me either and I ovulate don't loose hope xx

@MrsSokhi thank you. Can I ask, do you track ovulation and if you do how do you know you are ovulating each month? BBT?
