OPK Question

in Trying to Get Pregnant

OK, I know there has been lots of convos about OPKs and I'm sure this question is more than dumb, but please help me out Embarrassed

So I've started with OPKs for the first time this month. Based on my cycle lengths etc last Friday was the best day to start testing. Now of course I know that that doesn't mean anything and I may have to keep testing for another week or however long until I O.

But, and here is my dumb question: Shouldn't there be at least a faint result line? On one or two occasions the result line didn't show up at all???

I'm using the Clearblue OPK.

TIA and please don't laugh at me Embarrassed

    I have had tests with absolutely no test line ... but you should always have a control line. GL!

    This was my first month testing as well, i thought the same thing.  I went from having nothing one night, to the next morning having a very distinct line.  Make sure you test twice per day.  Usually early afternoon and later in the evening.  I testing at 2pm and 8pm but that was me.  I would recommend to contine testing and just be patient. GL

    Are you using the CBE digital one? That's the one that I used and when I popped the test out there was always a result line. There should be a result line, gotta have something to compare the test line too. If there haven't been result lines, I would say they are defective tests.

    It's not a digital one... And I may be saying it wrong.. but the one line you compare your result to does show up, what doesn't is the actual result of my urine test. But I guess that can happen.

    Do you test twice a day as well? Per my OPK I can test only once a day and just pick the same time of the day, so that's what I've been doing...

    Thanks for the tip!! :)

    The digital ones and the analog (?) ones are NOT the same - the analog ones do not always have a result line - they are only defective if there's no control line.

     Don't ever try to manually read a pee-stick for the CBEFM - they aren't meant to be read visually - there's some mysterious magical computer thing that the machine does, but the sticks will always have two lines - you just can't "read" them with your eyes the way you could with the regular kind.
