Default OPK Forelife

I went off the pill about 6 weeks ago and we are ttc. I had my last period on 29th July and therefore i am day 13. I brought a forelife opk yesterday but i am confused of the results. Yesterday it showed the Test line as a distinct line which was darker with a bit of a shadow of a band (which was lighter) than the control line but the control line was more of a band than a line all being the same colour. I did it again today and the same thing has happened.

How do I interpret this, if the test line a a dark line but lighter band? I hope this makes sense?

I'm not 100% sure what you mean but the band shadow maybe just runoff. focus on the actual lines. If the control line is the same colour or lighter than the test line then you should be ovulating in the next 24 to 36 hrs but if the control line is darker you're not. I found that some brands dont work as well as others. I tried ovuplan in the end and they work a treat, pick things up much better oh and try not to drink much 2 hrs before you test and wait til after lunch so the LH is most strong in your body. I hope this helps.

Cheers,

Leanne
