Just wanted to share this with everyone as I have seen a few people around on various different boards and other forums about how they don't count an opk until the test line is definitely darker than the control line. I just wanted to share my experience of how difficult it can be to catch that point.
This are my opks for this month.
Yesterday on CD 16 I did my opk at around 8pm when I got home from work and it was not too far off of positive, for me I know that when I get a test that looks like this I will get a positive the next day. Luckily I had today off work so was able to test throughout the day. At 11am I had a strong positive with the test line clearly stronger than the control. Two hours later my next test was back down to only just counting as positive and I dare say by 8pm when I would normally test when I get home from work the test probably won't quite be positive and if I hadn't had tested during the day I would have missed the surge altogether.
I suppose what I am trying to say is don't get too hung up on the line having to be darker. You can miss it so easily!
