First time using opks

[D3bbie]

TLDR: are the photos a positive opk?

I started using opks last saturday and the test line was non existent. Then on Tues and Thurs I had really faint lines and on Friday I *think* it's positive. Am I right? I've attached a photo. The left image is from 5:30pm and the one on the right was about 10pm as I couldn't resist.

Annoyingly on Saturday we were out from 9am to midnight. I did a test at 8am which was faint. I don't know if it counts as fmu as I got up at 5am for a wee. I also tested at midnight which was similarly faint (but not as faint as tues/thurs). I haven't tested yet today as I woke up late and hubby keeps making me cups of tea and I read you aren't supposed to drink for a couple of hours.

Hi, yeah I'd say they were positive. It's if the test line is as dark as or darker than the control line and then you would ov approx 12-36 hours later. When using opk they recommend you don't use your fmu as LH hasn't had chance to build up in your system yet. Good luck x

A positive opk is when the test line is as dark as or darker than the control.

I think yours are positive.

You shouldn't use fmu for opks. I hold for 2.5 - 3 hours when I do mine and it's always worked just fine.

Good luck

Thank you both. I really hope it was a positive on Friday as its showing no test line today - back to 5pm testing. My temp hasn't spiked though. x
