lines?

[Zara]

Hey everyone


I've taken a few OPK's, but I have PCOS so when i ovulate is very unpredictable, and OPK's aren't cheap!

I've read a few times on here that if the second line comes up but isn't as dark it's negative but means ovulation is coming? but i've also heard that it's just a negative full stop?

Confused?! :/

any help would be appreciated?!

thankyou

Your body always has the luteal hormone... So that's why the line is there. You get a surge of the hormone just before ovulation which causes the line to go much darker... Hope this helps?! X

ah i see! thankyou!

yes that is much help thankyou. So when there is a faint line it just means it's a negative and that i've either missed ovulation or it hasn't come yet? doesn't necessarily mean i'm about to ovulate?

Exactly! If you test every day you should see the surge x

I only started opk-ing last month but I saw an increase in the line darkness each day for about 3 days and then a huge difference so for me I found it quite easy to see the surge. I have read a few posts here from ladies that don't seem to get such an obvious surge though.

I got 60 opk's online for £11 incl p&p, don't know if that helps you? x

It happens both ways for me. Some months I see a gradual increase and others I will have a faint line and then my positive the next day. I don't tend to get lines at other times in my cycle apart from leading up to ov and just after x

Dammit Janet, where did you get them from? :O that's a very good price for so many! With me having irregular periods and all that, i'd need to take a test everyday!

Go Zara, I found generally speaking my lines got gradually darker towards OV then one day would just be appear much darker than control line = definite positive. After OV the lines would tend to fade again. But I wouldn't say a faint line means it's on its way so to speak because I used to get faint lines from CD6/7 onwards but would OV until cd19/20 so means nothing until it's equal or darker to control line .. Good luck to you both xx
