HI,

OPK test indicates LH surge in urine which is 24-36 hrs before ovulation.

The test line has to be as dark as/darker than control line-then it is +test.

Now, if your test line was not faint,but darker/as dark as control line,your OPK test was +ve & ovulation is expected in24-36 hrs!



Thanks.
