Positive OPK??

This was my first cycle using OPKs so can one of you experts tell me if this is a positive OPK test? The reference line is on the right, test line on the left.

I think it's positive but isn't the test line supposed to be darker than the reference?

It's not technically positive but I count opks like that positive because I often don't get a positive one otherwise (I only test once a day; no, I'm not going to do this at work), and sure enough OPK readings like this will lead to a temp rise for me the next day or so. 

Regardless, I think if you get a reading like this you are fertile so have at it! But keeping taking the opks until they become less positive (or you see your temp rise if you are temping).

It is almost there but not quite, IMO. I would Hio just in case. You should hopefully get a positive soon!

I would call that a "close enough" and expect to get a positive very soon.  Definitely HIO.

It's technically negative - can you test in a couple of hours? I bet it will be positive then. Although, I know that's not always the case.

I'd still have sex, even if you don't get a true positive today.

For myself, I would count that as a positive because I never get that dark of a line. I would still DTD, because if that's not considered a true postive then I am sure you will get one tomorrow.

Yup, I brought the box with me to work, I'll POAS in a few hours and see what it does then.

 I guess when in doubt, HIO!

Just lurking but, what does "HIO" stand for? Sex right?

Not yet.  Close, though.  I would keep testing and start HingIO.

Technically, it's close but not quite positive. Some brands, though, may never get a thick line. Have a look at FAQ#13 here: http://www.peeonastick.com/opkfaq.html.
