Okay, sorry for yet another OPK question...

Both my lines on my OPK tests have been really pale. I don't drink that much water during the day (like I should), so I don't think that's it. It's really hard to tell if the lines are the same or different when they're pale. Should I soak the end for longer than the instructed 10 seconds?

What brand do you use? 

I use Wondfos. Both of the lines are supposed to be dark for it to be a positive, you're only supposed to soak it for 3 sec., and i use morning urine. I don't know if this helps, but i'm not sure if it's different for other opk's.

If the control line is pale then you likely have a test or batch of tests that just have less dye in them.  If the control line is dark and the test line pale, then you're not ovulating, but if the control line is pale then you judge the test line against that level and if it's as dark as or darker than the control line it should be considered positive.

So you have a picture of one?

The brand is Answer. A friend gave me a kit she didn't end up needing. The directions said to dip it for 10 seconds. I will try to figure out how to upload a picture. I know how to read them, but they have been just so pale.
