I will usually get one that makes me think huh, that's a bit dark and then that night of the day after it will be really dark, this usually lasts till the morning after but by the following nightie will have faded again (can you tell I us cheapies haha).

This is why I switched to the CBE Fertility Monitor and digitals, too much guessing and freaking out over whether it was positive or not.

They got gradually darker over the days and usually 2 days of clear positives when I looked back at them.

My RE told me to use the cheapies so you can actually see the lines instead of the digitals that sometimes show false positives or in my case errors when I was getting close to O. She also told me to test in the afternoon and hold my pee for about 2 hours prior. She said your body starts to produce the LH surge in the morning so the most accurate result would be in the afternoon around 3 or 4pm.

Both cycles that I used them, I got a clear positive almost immediately on days when I ovulated. Don't forget it isn't the color or thickness of the line - it is only the darkness you are looking for to compare to the control line.

I have gotten both "out of the blue" and the "fade in" type. Depends on the month and how sudden my LH sure is, I guess. I always test at about 5pm, for consistency. I use the Wondfo cheapies, and I like to see the line intensity!

I fade in the day before, get two days of positives, and then fade out. I usually O on the second day. I take at all different times...early (like 6am), 10am, or late afternoon (5pmish) and my results are always spot on. So the time of day doesn't matter for me, personally. I use Wondfo...haven't missed a surge yet..though I almost did this cycle, because I ovulated 4 days early! If I hadn't randomly taken a test I would have completely missed it!
