OPK virgin

This is my first time using OPKs.... so, sorry if this is dumb question.

All of the OPKs that I have done so far have been stark white on the test side, until today.  This afternoon when I tested there was a faint (and I do mean faint) line on the test side.  I don't think that OPKs are supposed to get "progressively darker" are they?  What are your experiences with these?  Should I "hold it" and test again later today and/or again sometime tomorrow morning?  I'm using the first response OPKs if that matters.

    Some people get this, some don't.

    I got a positive OPK last cycle but no buildup... it was faint one day and dark the next. Then the next day it was light again. Your LH surge is a quick spike - unlike, say, progesterone which swells slowly up and back down - but some people have a longer surge than others.

    GL!?

    I asked a similar question a few days ago.  I've used them for 2 months. Both months mine have gradually gotten darker and darker over a couple days, but I don't think it's uncommon to have it pure white, and then positive the next day.
