Why does my ovulation strip have a faint second line? I have a very dark control line however there is also a faint second line. What does this mean?

You're not ovulating yet. You have to keep taking them until they are the same color/shade.

8dpo was very very faded....most of the time I get a faint line at 11dpo(I have had 2 healthy kids and three angel babies:(,,, ). BUT it does depend on your LP which varies from woman to woman my LP is usually 13dpo. I have noticed a LOT of fades with these dip strips but they are better then the blue dye tests(they are really bad). Good luck and sticky baby dust!

According to the instructions a negative (not pregnant) response is one line in the control window. A positive (pregnant) response is two lines - one in each window.

It depends on your cycle. My directions told me that i needed to start testing at cycle day 10 which was 5 days after my period ended and i have a 30 day cycle. I didn't get a positive until cycle day 22 though because i ovulated late. If you know approximately when you ovulate, i would start testing 5 days before and as the line gets darker, start testing 2x a day.

The fertility indicator lights will illuminate immediately after you have taken your temperature. You can also see them if you look at past days. You will not see the lights if you are just looking at the time on the display.

There should be 2 lines indicating pregnancy. The "c" or control line is there to show you've put enough urine on the test for it to function. The "t" or test line indicates pregnancy. If its only showing a "t" line then the test is defective. If you see both a t and c line then it's positive.

no, never. and I've taken literally about 40 of these over the past year.. all clearly negative. and I have my period now so clearly, lol knock on wood, I've never been pregnant. if you are referring to the line that sometimes appears all the way at the end towards the max line, at the end of the absorption strip, that is not the positive line. That is just how it's made and that happens sometimes if I dip it too long. A positive line would be closer, much closer, to the control line. hope this helps:) if you are unsure, just take another

The mistake is assuming a smiley face means you definitely ovulated. It's possible for your body to gear up to ovulate but it doesn't actually happen. Ovulation tests only predict that you *should* ovulate shortly after getting a positive result. You can't know if you actually did ovulate unless you chart your basal body temperature and saw a sustained rise in your temperature, by having your doctor run a 21 day progesterone test, or having an ultrasound.

I am not sure what the statistics are but I would say they are very sensitive. I was only 2.5 weeks along when I tested and got a positive line before I missed my period (2-3 days before if I remember correct).

Dear SJT48:Thank you for your inquiry. If you wanted to check your LH levels, it is recommended to wait at least 2-4 hours between to collect a sample. This can reduce a chance of testing a diluted sample. This is important to find a peak LH level, which the test line should be just as dark or darker than the control line. Please keep in mind to track your period cycles in order to find the best times of the month to test and physical symptoms such as Basal body temperature or increased bodily fluids. We hope this helps.Best Regards,Easy@Home Customer Service855.822.6999 M-F 9am-5pm CST Dear SJT48:Thank you for your inquiry.

If there is color to the line- I'd imagine it's positive. The line that showed up (within 5 min for me) had no color. It sort of looked like a shadow of a line.

If yoou are pregnant yes you should get 2 lines, the Control line should ALWAYS show up and the Test line will come up if you are pregnant. It sounds like maybe an invalid test which I didn't get any. I'd try again with a second test. If your period is 5 days late, using a test during the day instead of first morning urine should be fine just don't drink a lot right before you take it or your urine may become to diluted for it to pick up.

On the back of the package it shows you, line the strip up with the picture. The line closest to where you hold it is the control, the line closest to where you pee is the test. The control line has always shown up for me, the test line on the LH kit will vary in color, when it matches the control it is positive.

I believe mine had the same window. If I remember correctly I had a control line that was horizontal and the instructions said a '+' symbol was the indicator for pregnancy.

This test showed positive at 9 dpo. I was temping so I was able to confirm exactly when I O'd, and I saw a temp spike at 4 dpo so I was pretty sure I was pregnant by the time I used this test. It was a faint positive at 9 dpo and continued to get darker each day. By 12 dpo the test line was darker than the control line.

The test line HAS to be as dark or darker than the control line. You will always have two lines, but the test line is what you need to be dark or darker than the other.

No matter how faint or dark the line is, it is considered below the positive threshold. Any sight of pink is a negative result.
