Light Reference Line?

[Sweet_Pea]

Hi ladies,

Just taken a clear blue OPK and I think it's a negative, however the reference line hasn't come out as dark as I was expecting from the pictures on the box. Is that normal or does it mean I did something wrong (tried for the first time yesterday and nothing at all appeared!) Don't want to record it as a negative if it's a dud.

Thanks... x

If there's no control line at all its a dud...how faint was it?

Thanks for replying.

There was a clear line there but not as dark as it looked on the picture in the box... a lighter blue

I took another test this morning and collected my sample and dipped the stick (thought it might be easier lol) and I timed it on my phone so I know I did it all right, but the line came up the same as yesterday so I'm guessing that's what it normally looks like...

It's all a bit of a science!! ☺

It was my first of day as it suggested that on the box and thought it would be the easiest time in terms of not going for 4 hours...!
