First Time OPKer here! Help!

[Disney1818]

Okay, so today is cd 13. I've taken OPKs everyday since cd 9. They started off completely negative (obviously) and then yesterday on cd 12 it had a faint line, today the line was a little darker. I know it's not "positive" until the test line is darker than the control line but do the faint lines mean ovulation is coming in the next few days? Or do the faint lines mean nothing?

On the picture, read the tests bottom to top!
Bottom is cd 9 and top is cd 13!


Thanks!!

It doesn't mean a few days. It just means it's building

As above ^^^

OPK's measure LH, and we always have it flowing inside of us, so whenever you get a faint line it is just detecting the LH alread in your system. When it surges and brings on ovulation, you'll get your positive
