Dang things. I guess the first month using them is kinda trial and error. Soooo yesterday the line was as dark as the control line after the read time which on my first response ones was 5 min. I marked it as positive. Everytime I think it's positive the next day makes me ? it. Cuz now today the test line was dark before the control line even started! So today I KNOW it's positive. Was yesterday's still positive and todays is too? Should I just mark both as positive? Or just today? Oy...the confusion. Are the smiley face digi ones better???

You can have 2 positives in a row, some people even get them for more than 2 days. Since they detect O 12-48 hours in advance, that's a 2 day span, and you can also catch your surge on the way down. If you have pics to post we'll all look at them and help you out too  Either way, get to BD'ing girl!!!!

Thanks! I know today's is positive. It's twice as dark as the control line. Next month I will post pics of the ones I'm not sure of.

A lot of people get 2 positives in a row. In fact I'd say more people get 2 positives than just 1 positive. You can get 3 positives in a row. I use the digis myself and I like them a lot. They take out the confusion. I'd mark both as positive on your chart if it were me.

I've had two positives in a row before. Those things drive me crazy though. I would like to use the digis but they are so expensive.

We totally are! Guess that makes us cycle buddies, lol!
I'm thinking about picking up one pack of digis to use when I'm not sure on the others. I think I'm going to order some of the really cheap ones online.

Confirming what the others have said, two + in a row is normal. Be happy - it gives you even more advanced notice to get down to business
I would call them both + in FF if you're pretty sure it's the same colour.
I don't know how useful pics are now since mine tend to fade after a few hours, but what the heck, throw 'em up if you like so we can all stare at them until we don't know what colour anything is anymore

So here's a pic...it's not very good cuz I can't get the dang camera to work. The top one is today and even in the blur, I think you can see it's way +. The second one was yesterday and those lines match pretty much although they both seem more faded after all this time.

The second one is for sure a positive! I'm guessing the first one is too but it is hard to tell.

The top one is def + and the 2nd one probably did fade a bit so I'd say both +'s  See, you totally know what you're doing!!!
