Is this OPK positive? (PIP)

FutureMrsPrestwood · July 2012

This is my first time ever using OPK's, so I'm still learning the ropes with these things (thanks to you ladies!) I've been testing once a day for the past 4 days since this is only my second month of charting/temping and third off BC and I'm not sure what my cycles & O "typically" look like. I had planned to start testing twice a day starting today (CD 13). I just tested about a half hour ago with SMU and got this (see picture below). Is this considered a positive even though its really only as dark as the control line on that one side? Will it fill out eventually as part of a fade in (meaning I should just keep testing until I get a completely filled in line to consider it a positive)? I plan to test again this afternoon, and will test until my temps confirm O or no O as well. If nothing else, can I assume this means my body is at least gearing up to O and I'm close? Thanks!

The test line is definitely as dark as the contol on the left side in person. It doesn't seem to have translated as well in the photo.

Also: You ladies who take pics of your Wondfos have TALENT. It took a million shots before I got one in focus. Who knew Pee Stick Photography was so hard!?

I'd say almost but not quite. But it could be the pic itself. I'd say bang it out just in case! You never wanna miss a fertile day! Good luck!

I asked about this last month and most people said if half the line is as dark, they counted it positive. Imhave a hard time telling for sure (I only got one positive last month testing 3x a day), so this month I bought a box of digitalis to confirm if I think the wondfo is positive. Good luck!

From the pic it looks very, very close but not yet positive. I would definitely have sex just in case!

All of this.

Peeonastick.com has some pointers about half-dark lines...though I can't remember off the top of my head what it says...

ETA fixed spelling of website.

Thanks everyone! You are confirming what I was thinking. I'll keep testing and HIO and if this month isn't my month, I'll look into digis for next month! Looks like my weekend just got a little more interesting. Hope DH is up for it.

I think it's close enough not to matter and I would consider it my sign to start having sex, at least, every other day. Have fun and good luck!

Mine was like that this morning. I decided to put it into FF as a positive with a note added about how it was so close I couldn't really tell. I plan to bang it out in case like pp said

This. I've gotten very similar OPKs and consider them positive enough to HIO.

Mine looked like that yesterday morning and by yesterday afternoon the line was darker than the control line. I would say its on the verge of a positive but maybe test again in a few hours?

It looks pretty close to me. I did OPK for the first month of my first pregnancy and I started testing 2x per day from CD 14-17. On CD 15 it was darker than CD 14 but not "positive" according to the box. On CD 16, it was darker than CD 15 in the am and pm but not "positive". On CD 17-CD 20 it was negative. I had symptoms shortly after that and was pregnant.

I would say that if you see the color change significantly it would be an ideal fertile window on that day (and of course the 3-5 days leading up to it would have been a good time for ttc too).

Just hump it out.

When I get that close I pee on a digi smiley face test.

That's a for sure positive or negative

curlylocks3 · July 2012

To me it looks almost, but not quite positive. Normally when I get a test like that if I test again in 3-4 hours I get an obvious positive. Either way, I'd say its time to have sex. Good luck!
