OPK test strips?

Question

Ok so I've been using Wondfo OPK test strips this cycle. So far all neg tests and I'm on CD 24 already. However, my cycles have been known to go well into 40 days before so I guess not all hope is lost on ovulating this month?
​So my main question is this... Does anyone know if the line on the test strip should get slightly darker in color the closer I get to my LH surge? Or is it simply if the surge is there the dark line is there, and if the surge is not there it's a faint line?

Answer

Thanks for the input! I think today answered my question for me. My line on my test strip got darker! Still not a positive but definitely darker than the days before it!

Answer

Here is what I found...

​Ovulation tests are not the same as pregnancy tests - especially when it comes to interpreting results. The results are only positive if the test line is equal to or darker than the control line. Do not try to second guess an ovulation test. While a faint test line may indicate that the lh surge has started, it may also simply be the result of naturally low levels of LH that may be in your system normally throughout your cycle.

Answer

I've heard that the line should be getting darker unless you have a naturally high LH level. My question is what time should I take these tests? I've heard between 10am and 4pm but I'd like to do them after work after 5pm...any help?
