I would be watching more for ewcm. How long is your cycle?

Usually pos opts last 24 hours. So make sure you test the sametime each day. Some are shorter some are longer everyone is different. I do know some brands don't give a true positive. I used to save my sticks and mark the cd on them and compare month to month. One brand I'm not sure which one, never gave me a true pos. I just started bding when I noticed the color darkening. I knew the good day had to be soon. Good luck. I hope this helps.

there was no line yesterday and a faint one today, could that mean it's coming? perhaps iam drinking too much fluids, or something, and it could be a positive? maybe i'll try again later. thanks girls. my cycle varies from 28-31 days for some time now. sherry

ps, i never get much CM, unfortunately. i do check my cervix now and again, but i don't know if i can read it correctly all of the time, enough to replace the test

Well I had some darker lines a few days ago...never got a positive....each day they are getting lighter? Does that mean I missed it? I usually Ovulate on day 17 or 18, luteal phase defect...this month I'm only on day 16 and last night's was almost nothing? What is your opinion?

When i get a +opk it never gets gradually lighter or darker its there one day and gone the next.Take a look at peeonastick.com it has lots of answers to your questions.And yes you could be missing your surge especially if you test only once a day .

even i had this confusion regarding the darkness of lines. but after using them for a couple of months, i figured that the line doesnt need to be of the same colour for all brands. answer needs the colours to match, whereas the ones i got from babycreations.com neednt be of the same colour. so i use them, and when i see a medium colour appearing, i test with answer, and i get a positive on it.
