Is this a positive OPK? **Updated with Two New Pics**

Help! I'm TTC and we're long distance from each other. We were going to meet in the morning. Is this a positive? This was taken at 5 minutes. Second is at 15 minutes.

Seeing the test line is lighter than the control line, it's negative. In order for the OPK to be positive, the test line has to be the same or darker than the control line. So keep testing.

No it's not positive.
The test line needs to be as dark or preferably darker than control line.
But that's not to say your not fertile now, the best time to dtd is 2 days before ovulation so the sperm can travel up the fallopian tubes and be waiting for egg to release, rather than the day of ovulation which is less effective

Okay, what about now? lol

I THINK these are FINALLY my positive OPKs. Are they? Please?

The top was taken at 10:00pm Oct. 26. The bottom at 6:25am on Oct. 27. It's 6:30am Oct. 27 and I'm leaving in two hours to go meet with M and enter the TWW The picture was taken at the 3 minute mark for the bottom one. The second picture was taken at the 10 minute mark.

It looks very close but unfortunately you shouldn't do opks in the morning as it throws false positives... We always have alot of LH in the AM as it builds up in our body overnight, opks should be done between 10am and 8pm. Ideally around 2pm is the best time.

This was SMU. I tend to be an early riser because of my job and have a day off today, so I normally test right after work, usually around 2pm. I'll try again later

In that case if it wasn't fmu it looks great!
Good luck
