In all the years of TTC i have never used OPK's and this month I am along with temping, and checking cm. I don't know how to read them. I'm on CD, I have used one yesterday and today both had lines but faint. I'm I correct in assuming that those are negative.

Yes, the line needs to be just as dark or darker than the control line!

Every brand is different...some have to be completely as dark as the control...some only have to have half of it as dark as the control...thats why I used the digis when I used them...no issue with an open circle or a smiley face...

if you have any questions, call the company that made the OPKs...they can answer most questions you have...

Good luck!

They're internet cheapies so I don't know how they really work.

I do know that Femara has made me a basket case, I've been crying almost all morning over stupid things.

DITO to everyone else it has to be darker or the same color for it to be positive. I use IC OPK's and they worked pretty good
