Is this an ovulation line?

Hey all, so I'm new to the conception thing! I literally stopped my pill 48 hours ago and decided to just take an ovulation test to see how it works and it looks like there's a line. Surely I can't already be starting ovulation just 2 days after stopping the pill? Not sure if any of you see what I'm seeing x

Hi! Welcome to the TTC madness!
For an ovulation test to be positive the test line needs to be as dark or darker than then control line. Unlike a pregnancy test where any line is a positive, this is because you always have a certain level of LH hormone in your body but it peaks before ovulation occurs.

This is my positive test from this morning if that helps!

If this is an ovulation test then it's negative. When your close to ovulation or your at your peak the line will be just as dark or even darker then the control line. Some woman start testing twice a day from day 10 of their cycle. So day 1 is the first day of your period. I hope it all.goes smoothly for you.

No, needs to be darker than the control line for ovulation.

They're not like pregnancy tests.

Thank you so much that makes a lot more sense ❤️ should I test in a few days or again tomorrow based on what the test looks like now?

You could do! I would maybe wait until your first period though as you’ve just come off the pill. That will give you more of an idea of your cycle x
