Help with reading ovulation test

Hi!

I'm just curious which OPK you would consider positive? I'm trying to gauge how many DPO I might be, and I know it will not be 100% accurate as I do not temp. Both pictures were taken at 5 minutes, however CD14 (top picture) gradually got darker until it became positive (I think it's as dark as the control?) where CD15 (bottom picture) was almost instantly positive. Would you consider CD14 to be my first positive test or use CD15 as the first positive?

Thanks for your help!

Thank you! I was hoping TTC the second time around would not be as stressful, but here I am 7 months in and staring WAY too much at ovulation tests. Ha!

If cd14 went positive, then that's ur first positive. 5 mins isn't enough time for the test to develop, u can still see dye sitting in the wick end. I give mine up to 15 mins to develop. I say cd14.
Good luck! =))

@ilovesunshine i am also ttc#2and just like you I thought it would be easier. Nope it s not. Yes get the digital opks. But I definitely would consider cd14 bc I used clearblue opk the pink one and my 1st solid smiley (btw the pink one only has empty circles or solid smiley not fashing , i like it better than the advanced one) was like your cd14 when i opened it to look at the lines. The 2nd smiley the 2nd day was like your cd15. Hope this helps fingercrossed.

@lalou3tt3 Thank you, that does help! I'll get the digital opks next time around to take the guesswork out of it. Best of luck with ttc #2 and all of the emotions that come along with it....I hope you get your soon!
