It's positive but not peak. Keep testing once or twice a day. Once the test line is as dark, or darker than the control line, that's your peak and you are likely to ovulate in the next 12-24hrs

Thank you! I’m still testing why is sometimes the line darker than other times ( I’m testing twice a day ) @Hoplittlesbunnieshophophop

It’s not positive. The lines have to be as dark as each other or the test line darker than control for it to be positive.

You will always get a second line on these. It doesn’t work the same as pregnancy test where the second line is positive.

@pinksheetss thank you for confirming, took two tests today and they are lighter than yesterday? Should I just keep testing ?

If they are lighter it sounds like ovulation has happened and peak has been missed. What date in your cycle are you?

Your LH peak comes around 24-48 hours before ovulation. You can also use basal body temp to confirm ovulation (rises once ovulation is confirmed)

I used to use the Premom app and upload pictures of my tests into there which then helped me see which my peak test result was.

I’m on day 10 with a 28 day cycle @pinksheetss sometimes 30 day cycle!

ok good to know I haven’t heard of that before but will look into it.

it’s all very confusing!

If it’s a regular 28 day cycle you should potentially get a peak at around day 12/13/14. In this case I’d keep testing, download the premom app and I would upload photos into there so you can track the rise and when it’s a bit weaker.

If it’s a 30 day cycle it might come a bit later than day 14 but I would continue testing twice a day until you get that peak.

They also say second urine of the day is better for the test.

Premom also do a box of tests you can get that work out much cheaper that I usually use also to save some money!
