Ovulation strip help?!

Hi all I'm currently ttc and it's not happening so this month I've bought the ovulation strips to use.
According to my Flo app, I'm due to ovulate tomorrow however my tests don't seem to be getting any darker! Does this mean I'm not ovulating? ☹️

This just means that your app doesn't know your cycle....it's just based off algorithms. Ignore it.

Keep testing, great that yours doing it twice a day so as not to miss the LH surge!

What CD are you right now?

I'm currently on day 15 of my cycle. My cycle used to be 28 days like clockwork however I had a miscarriage in January and since then my cycles have ranged from 27-34 days 😞

My cycle is 28-29 days and I consistently ovulate on day 18 or 19. I’ve got pregnant twice so it’s not an issue, it’s just good to be aware of! It won’t be long, keep dtd so it’s there ready and waiting 😊

This month might just be a slightly longer cycle then... I'm sure that test line will darken up within the next couple of days! Also watch for other signs of ovulation.

Hello, please stop using these opk's asap and buy some easy@home ones. I was using these and they never once got any darker than how yours are now for 6 months. Left me crying to my GP, thinking I'm infertile, but it turns out batches of these tests are just shit.
Many people experienced the same thing according to the Amazon reviews

Thank you all so much- you've put my mind at ease. I'll just keep trying and if it doesn't work this time I will get the other brand mentioned for next month!

Here is an example of what {mention:nellie} said, I was using One Step and then I ordered Easy@Home. If I hadn’t, I would have missed my peak

I was going to say the exact same about those tests! Easy@home are way better and you can use the premom app to take pictures of them and look at the ratios! Also once you've got the better tests try not to worry if you don't have a positive and are supposed to ovulate soon, mine always peaks very suddenly!
