I hate these things! I can't tell if this is positive or not. My CM is not how it was last month when I O'd but that doesn't mean anything!
I don't have that many sticks left - do I test again tonight or wait until tomorrow? I thought I didn't O until Thursday but who friggin knows!

almost there...maybe test again later tonight...
ETA; just checked on my other screen and the test line does look just as dark as the control line, i would still test again tonight, but either way i am pretty sure you have started your LH surge.

Which one is the control line? I would say the right line is darker.
Honestly I hated those damn things and switched to the smiley face ones. They are expensive but it removed all the guess work!!

I'd say its just about positive, but I'd test again tomorrow it see if its fully there, or if its negative (meaning you O'd in the meantime).

left is my line, right is the line to compare to. @mamamoose I had them and for 2 months in a row they were defective and I called to get my money back! 
I think I have another 4 sticks so maybe I'll use one tonight. I left it to sit for a bit and here is another photo. Looking at it now it looks like it's not quite there, I was going to wait until tomorrow to BD...now I don't know what to do

I would say almost there also. Test again in 10 hours/tomorrow and BD just to be safe.

Almost!
They are hard to tell. Worth spending the money on the digital to get that smiley face!

It looks so close. This is why I also used the digital. When it looked close on the cheapie, I would confirm with the digital test. Loved seeing that smiley face.
test again this evening and BD anyways. Good luck!

Thanks ladies! DH has been a little bit anti-BD the past few days so I'm going to pull the "I have a headache and need some relief" line

@babycanuck: I had one like this yesterday afternoon and thought it was for sure a positive. I used a smiley to confirm and it was negative (from the same cup of pee). I tested again this morning and it was darker than the control line and the smiley was positive too. I'd say have sex tonight and test again in the morning. You have better odds if you have sex before O (even by a day or two) than on the day of O, so get busy!
ETA a picture for reference and because I'm just so darn proud of my smiley, haha. (excuse the dog hair!)

I had a result like that the day before my unmistakable positive on a dollar store OPK. The next day the two lines were clearly even, and then 6 hours after that the test line was significantly darker than the control.
I posted the progression (minus the super dark one) in this thread:

Yeah this afternoon I'm not feeling so hot which is what happened last month around O time. No cramping yet but I imagine it'll follow tomorrow. I'm not going home on Wednesday so I'm hoping BD today and tomorrow will do the trick. fx fx fx!

Ok ladies - Update: BD yesterday (YAY!), my test today was wayyyyy lighter than yesterday's, so BD again tonight anyway. I'm on CD15 and last month I got an OPK + on CD17. I won't be home tonight so force BD on the DH on Thursday for safe measures and keep testing lol

I think it needs to be just as dark as the control line. So, you are close!!!
