Sorry if this is a silly question but . . .
I never used OPKs before, this being my first go at it. I started last Friday. whether I am neurotic or what, I test 2x a day (FMU and later afternoon/early evening). Last night and both today i had a VERY VERY faint test line.
Are OPKs (the line ones, not digital) sensitive like a HPT?
I ask b/c when I was PG with DS, all the line (non-digital) HPTs were VERY faint, even the leftover test I took (for sh*ts & giggles) when I was 7 mos PG.
I just want to know if it's me or not. I've calculated my last 3 AFs in 3-4 different websites/apps and they all say my most fertile days would be today thru Tuesday.
TIA

A positive OPK is very different from a positive HPT. OPK's are not positive unless the test line is as dark or darker than the control line. Moat people will have some sort of line on an OPK no matter what point in their cycle it is. But is has to be as dark or darker than the control line for it to be positive.

ITA. With an OPK its only positive if the line is equal or darker than the control. Throughout my cycle I always have some sort of faint line on my OPK but its not until CD10-15 that I get a darker line.

Its possible. Just keep testing. This is your first month using it so its really hard to say when you will O. Ive been using them for a while and Ive O as early as CD8 to as late as CD17 so its def. possible its just hasnt happened for you yet. GL

I don't get a postive until CD 19-20. I have always had long cycles. So keep testing!
