No dark line on ovulation tests?

Question

I have used ovulation test (the type you dip into urine) on two separate months and have never got a dark line. I have had feint lines, but never a dark line. I follow all the instructions.

I have regular periods so must be ovulating.

This month I only used them on the days I due to ovulate by the calendar, but the last month I did it every day.

Any ideas?

I'm testing at about 2pm every day.

I hadn't heard about testing more than every 24 hours before, so that's helpful, thanks.

I assume I am ovulating as I have regular periods... I thought if you have a anovulatory cycle you don't get regular/normal periods

Answer 1

youre either testing on wrong days or useing wrong test not sure. Get alot of tests and test every day after your period rite after and see what happends!!!!

Answer 2

When do you check? Once a day? Morning or night? This is very important. The same happened to me until I was told to check every 12 hours starting about cycle day 10. And I found it. It only showed a surge for less then 6 hr. But we got pregnant the very next month after I "discovered" my pattern.

Answer 3

You might not be ovulating.

You're supposed to get a line thats as dark as or darker than the control line, or atleast thats what my dip tests said. I got a dark line two months in a row... but now that iam a nursing mom I only got a very faint line on my usual ovulation time.

Ask a doctor.
