Need help reading OPK *pic*

[Mommy_Moose]

I posted this in the TTC section but thought I may get more responses putting it here as well.

I've NEVER gotten a big, thick dark test line like I see in the picture galleries. (I've been using these 3 months now)

Can it be positive and only part of the line is dark? Or would a partially dark test line mean O is approaching? Looking at my CM I feel like it is approaching soon.

I've attached a pic of my tests thus far this cycle with times and days noted. Last cycle I O'ed on CD12 and before that CD13. I cropped them but did no touch ups.

Input appreciated.

Also, my cycles are 26-27 days long and I was on my period from CD1-6 with spotting on 7.

can you get different test??? Since these are confusing?

Next cycle I'm going to go the digital route.

Try the digi route. I have always had not so strong lines (rubbish lines infact!!) on those IC OPK tests but using the same wee (in a different cup) I get a big smiley face on the digi's and blood tests to prove I did O'! :/ Good luck xxx

Top one looks very close to positive, I used those same tests the month I conceived my DS and my "positive" was only partial, so barely 1/2 the line was actually darker than the control, it was confusing and I didn't think I o'd at all until 10 days later when I got a BFP...I'm definitely going digital for TTC#2 I posted my pics below from the month I got my BFP with DS, they look MUCH darker in the pic because it was days after they dried, so they were much lighter when I read them in the suggested time frame...hope that helps!

GL hun!

lol that's funny yours get more faint, mine always look darker, idk why that is, but it's like a day later they're closer to positive...OPK's are so confusing sometimes!! I definitely will use the cheapies when we TTC #2 and also use the CB digital, so I guess I'll test with the digital in the morning and then the cheapie in the evening just to make sure I don't miss my surge

GL!!
