How many minutes do you wait before reading OPK result?

I am using the wondfo OPK sticks, it says to read the result after 5 minutes. With your OPK sticks do you read the result when the instructions suggest or leave a bit longer if you don't think the ovulation test is fully developed?

Thanks

My OPKs say to wait 30 minutes to confirm results.

Sorry meant to be 10 minutes! Invalid result after 30 minutes.

I'd follow the instructions that are on that specific test, any results read after that time are usually classed as invalid

So does that mean you can read anytime up to 30 minutes? The reason I ask is sometimes I am not sure if it's fully developed after 5 mins?

I found my positive ones started getting dark pretty much instantly, generally I kept myself busy for around 5 mins before checking (this was easy@home)

Mine say wait 5 mins, and do not read result after 10 mins.

ICs you can see a result within a minute usually. I've recently started using the Clear Blue wifi ones and the stick symbol starts flashing pretty quickly but then takes a good few minutes to get a result, I don't time it but probably about 5 mins.

Defo not meant to do this... but I Poas and to back and check it when I remember or when I don't have mini beasts climbing all over me! Sometimes 10mins, sometimes 2hrs! 🎉
