Proov PDG test strips. Anyone else use these before?

Question

The instructions on the Proov tests said to start testing 3 days after the LH peak. It's 3DPO and 3 days after my LH peak so I took one and there is definitely still a faint line.

For anyone unfamiliar with these two lines is negative and only 1 line is positive. So this would be a negative PDG test.
For those of you who have used these before when you did you get a positive PDG test in terms of days past your LH peak/DPO. Should I retest tomorrow or give it a day or two?

Answer

So I'm posting a quick update for anyone still following this post or who searches it in the future.
6DPO now. I have been using these with FMU like the instructions say since 3DPO. The one didn't change at all from 3dpo to 4dpo then actually got a tiny bit darker from 4dpo to 5dpo. This morning at 6dpo the test is still negative but it is finally at least a little lighter.
Here are 3, 4 and 6DPO.

With flash:

I'm hoping tomorrow at 7DPO the test will be positive finally. If the test 7DPO isn't positive but is definitely lighter than 6DPO I'll test 8DPO. If the test is positive I'm done for this cycle. It technically says to confirm ovulation you need 3 days of positives but these things aren't cheap so one is good enough for me. If the test is negative but also not lighter than 6DPO I'm also done for the cycle. 
I'll try to post a final update in a day or two. I read through posts from the past couple of years trying to find information on these tests so who knows maybe someone will stumble across this in a search and find it useful.

Answer

Updating my comments to this thread! I now have had the exact same results for the past 4 days. So, 8, 9, 10, and 11 DPO all had the very very faint second line, as seen below in the pic. My BBT suggests that I did ovulate, and I got peaks on OPKs. Not sure what’s up with these tests but I don’t think I’ll be buying them again? I think I’m 11 DPO but had a negative pregnancy test this morning :/ I read someone else’s experience that even if it’s super faint, it may actually still be a positive. That woman shared her experience to say that she had tests that looked just like mine, but confirmed O through blood test .... so I’m still hopeful that my progesterone is actually still high and that AF isn’t on her way (I’d think by now I’d have a clear negative as the hormone drops significantly right before your period). Anyone have updates or experiences with these Proov tests????

Answer

I ordered these and they came in today. I am 8 DPO and below is my result. It looks like just one line which would indicate positive... I have to look reeeeeeeaaaallllllly hard to see a second line. I’m hoping this is considered positive. (Again for those of you unaware, this tests your level of progesterone which rises after ovulation. One line is positive, and any shade of a second line is negative). Thoughts on this one??

Answer

It’s my understand that you keep testing with those daily to make sure your progesterone levels are rising, and if they are, then the test should get increasingly more positive each day until the second line completely disappears. So, I would likely just use these everyday until the line disappears. I’ve never used them, so I’m not sure when you would get a positive. Hope this helps.

What do these tests test for?

Answer

I actually just ordered these and they come tomorrow. I’ll be 9 DPO so hopefully will get a clear cut result. Does even a very faint second line indicate negative?

Answer

Although now that I looked at it in a different light I can see a vvvvvvfl indicating that my progesterone is rising but not quite positive yet. I’m 8DPO so I should have a clear cut positive by now shouldn’t I? I also did not do a baseline and did not use first morning urine. Thoughts?

Answer

7DPO taken around 5 minutes so I'm sure this stupid line will darken....😩
