Faint control line on Ovulation test.

[Twoinapod]

As above really. I took an ovulation test today and the control line seems really faint. They’re usually quite dark. Does this mean it’s faulty? They’re only cheap ones from Poundland.

line usually means pg. buy another brand & retest

Have you got a picture?

A faint line on an ovulation tests means you're not ovulating yet. Are you due to ovulate soon?

@Zone2NorthLondon its an ovulation test not a pg test.

@JuniperandI i know the faint test line means not ovulating, but todays control line was really faint as well, the control line is supposed to be the dark one. I had mirena removed a few weeks ago, never had periods on it so no idea on cycle which is why I’m using OPK.

@allgoodthings84 today the control line was really faint as well as the test line and now I’m wondering if they’re just rubbish tests

Hmmm all of your control lines look a lot fainter than mine ever did. The only darker one is CD9s. Maybe it’s a dodgy batch without much dye in them.

@allgoodthings84 thats what I was thinking. These are two different packs so I think they’re just crap tests. I’ve ordered some easy@home ones to try instead. I’ve never used them before so didn’t know if it was normal but looking at other photos mine are definitely too light.

@Twoinapod I used easy@home ones and they were great.
