OPK results- very strange, help I'm confused!

[Ella]

So I've been doing OPK's for the last week, nothing nothing nothing and then four days ago I got a super faint line, followed by a slightly darker one each day... I have also had tingly slighty crampy things happening over my left ovary site since 2 days ago.

I'm confused because as far as I had been told, they should turn positive when you are going to O, so why am I getting gradually darker ones when the hormone is only present a short time???

Any help would be great as I'm a bit confused...

TIA

I ususally have about 4 days of lines getting darker before I get my +opk and then again after they will get fainter for a couple of days

Ella, when are are you testing? And what brand are you using?
I used lullaby conceptions, tested at 5pm each afternoon. LC recommended testing after 10am, 2pm being ideal. Consistency is the key.
All the best

Didi,
I still long for the OV watch. Can't justify the cost if it.
You're one lucky chickie to have had one
