Is it possible to have faint line showing on an ovulation test but to not ovulate at all that cycle?

Question

I'm on my first month off birth control and i am a little worried about not ovulating this months due to it being my first cycle off BC (i've heard stories about not ovuating for a few months due to being on the pill).

However, i have been using ovulation tests to try to detect ovulation. For the past 2 weeks i have had no line appear at all in the test areas, however when testing yesterday and today i have had faint lines appear... so surely this must mean i am about to ovulate soon? Or is it possible to have these faint lines appear even if i'm not going to ovulate?

I just thought that since lines are appearing (albeit faint ones) that there must be some amount of the hormone linked to ovulation building up in my body? So would that mean that i'm definitely going to ovulate? x

Answer 1

It's really hard to say. For some odd reason, I ALWAYS get a test line on ovulation tests. Mine get REALLY dark when I ovulate. I have been able to feel it a couple of times. I did notice last month, that my test line got progressively darker, as I got closer to ovulating. But, some women say they don't get a line that progressively gets darker. It is good that you're atleast getting a line though. I'm sure you know too, but make sure you're not testing w/ FMU and best times are between 12 and 8pm. I always got my positives around 5pm for some reason. It's possible you may have a surge in the morning (not due to ovulation) and also, it takes a few hours for LH to increase throughout the day, unlike hcg. Also, make sure it's been atleast 4 hours between testing! Glad you're doing OK. I haven't heard anything from you in a while! Best wishes ttc.

I never bother trying to decipher the lines anymore... it just gets too confusing! I stick to the Clearblue Digital ones - if it's detected the LH surge you get a smiley face - if not, then it's just a blank circle.



Anyway, in answer to your question, a faint line may appear if a little of the LH (luteneising hormone) is detected in your urine. However, you will find that if you do another test around the same time tomorrow, it may be darker. When the test line is as dark as the control line, then that is when it has detected the LH surge. A feint line is not a positive ovulation test.



Also, just because you get a +OPK doesn't mean you will definitely ovulate, but usually you do about 24-36 hours later.



It's best too to do the test, not with first morning urine, but rather between 11 am to 2 pm. This is because it takes a few hours for the LH to show up in your urine.

Answer 3

It's possible to receive faint lines on OPKs and not actually ovulate. It's even possible to get a positive OPK and not ovulate since OPKs only test for the LH surge. This happens before ovulation. Your body could produce the LH surge and not ever ovulate.



The only way to be sure that you ovulate is to have a doctor do an ultrasound. Charting your BBT can also help show whether or not you ovulate.



I wouldn't worry if you don't ovulate this cycle. I don't know when I started ovulating after going off birth control, but my cycles weren't regulated for about four months afterwards.

Congratulations! It sounds such as you have a toddler! I had a easy purple line next to a depressing purple line once I examined and that i'm 20 weeks alongside now. i did no longer use the 1st urine of the day, which potential the line wasn't as dark with the aid of fact early being pregnant HCG stages are low and prefer the 1st urine of the day to be detected top. even if you could desire to be late with the aid of fact of going off the pill yet with the aid of attempt, i think of you're pregnant yet take yet another attempt employing the 1st urine of the day to be particular. you do no longer would desire to attend days. with the aid of fact in case you're each week late, you're technically 5 weeks pregnant. So stable success

Once infertility has been diagnosed, there are a number of treatment options available depending on the root cause of the problem. Learn here https://tr.im/oBj6G



Infertility is a condition defined as not being able to become pregnant after at least one year of unprotected, regular, well-timed intercourse. Women who suffer from multiple miscarriages may also be diagnosed as infertile. Infertility may be classified into two groups, primary and secondary infertility.
