Opk reading?

I just use the dollar store cheapie opks, and I started testing on Monday.

I've had a positive reading every day since then, including today. Is this normal?

That doesn't sound right, are you sure they are positive? The second line has to match or be darker than the control line

There will always be a line - the test looks for HSG in your urine, which rises the closer you get to ovulation. That's why the lines get darker the closer you get to ovulation. You will be ovulating when the test line matches or is darker than the control lines.

I'd get the Clear Blue Easy OPK tests....the smiley is so easy to read to know when you are ovulating.

I used the cheapies and my line never got fully as dark as the control line but I did see a huge difference in the color so I knew it was ovulation.
