Hi OP, I have had ovulation tests go dark a few days before my period too, not too sure why it happens though.

I have also heard though that ovulation tests can pick up early pregnancy as the hormone is similar... have you tried using an early pregnancy test just to check? x

I can see lines there, 7dpp is very early so wait a few days and test again?

I’ve had the same twice before. Once it turned out I was pregnant and the other time I couldn’t find any reason for it!

so strange! i’ve done one this morning and it’s negative from what i can see, only tested because of my lh strips staying so dark!
