Hi guys
Got a faint line on an OPT tonight - got all excited until I read that the line needs to be as strong as the control line for it to be a positive. Just wondering if anyone knows if there's any other reason I'd get a faint line? FYI I am up to day 21. my cycles have been about 44-56 days long, have decided I am going to do an OPT for the next 20 days so I don't miss the moment! (or to determine if ovulation is even happening!) |

sometimes it will fade in - ie it will get darker over a couple of days - then you may get a fade out
so this could mean you have already ovulated or you may be about to ovulate over the next couple of days i find when i get a faint line then i usually know to test 2 or 3 times during the day (normally 10am, 2pm and 5pm) so I don't miss my actual positive good luck!! |

I tried doing the ovulation tests for the first time in Jan and I had two fade in days where the line was pale but got darker each time then on the 3 day got a positive. I started BDing as soon as I got the first pale line and now have a wee bean to show for it.

Last month I got a faint line one day, a definite positive the following two days and then another really faint on the 4th day. I wonder if you always get a faint one though and it is just at O time when LH is at its strongest that is gets darker??? -------------
