That's a negative ovulation test, keep testing until you find a peak

@Charley when’s the best time to test?? X

Test in the early afternoon. it's positive when both lines are equally dark or the left line is darker than the right. On a 28 day cycle you are likely to ovulate on day 14-18 so I would start testing around day 10 of your cycle until you get to know your cycle

@Natalie my cycles are like 35 I suffer with PCOS xx

Depends on your luteal phase length, but you will ovulate about 10-14 days before your before period starts so work backwards. Maybe start testing about day 18? I used to have 32-35 day cycles and I ovulated around day 21-24

Early afternoon is best. I used to test mid morning and late evening, then when I got close to suspected ovulation added in a mid afternoon test too

I test 3 times a day, 8am, 2pm and 8pm, if that helps?

So if I get peak say 1 pm do I have to BD then? Or can I leave it till later ?? X

Peak test / positive test shows LH peak which means you will ovulate 12-36 hours later. So best to BD that day / next day 😀

Now! For the next 2-3 days

That's not a peak yet but when you do peak, BD that day and the next 2 days. I recommend downloading the premom app to scan your tests in it'll help you identify peak. It's also recommended to just BD every other day before peak in your cycle anyway, with a 35 day cycle I'd start doing that from about cd18 as well as testing. This is because sperm live like 5 days so then you can have some there waiting for when you ovulate.

@Tanya thank you ! I’m on day CD 7 at the monument so , my ovulation time starts 19-23 and I ovulate on the 24 it says xx
