Advice on reading Ovulation Testing Strips

Hi Everyone!

I was hoping to get some thoughts/advice on using these ovulation testing strips. I’m not quite ready to start trying for a baby yet. I am hoping to start trying a little later in the spring/early this summer, but wanted to get a jump start on tracking my cycle and ovulation with the help of the strips and this app so I’m a pro by the time I’m ready.

I am wondering if any of my results attached here count as a true positive. I started testing on 4/2 on cycle day 11. 4/2-4/3 were definitely negative. 4/4 I did get a pretty decent control line in both at 7:15 AM and 11:15 PM, but never anything that was truly, fully as dark as or darker than the test line. Do you think I just missed the absolute perfect time to test? See attached photos for my progression from yesterday morning through his evening.

Any thoughts or experiences with this previously would be extremely helpful.

Thanks so much!
