Patient's question:
I and my husband recently plan to have a baby. My friend said that the strongest positive on the ovulation test is the easiest time to get pregnant. But I started testing for ovulation twelve days after my period, and now it's been almost half a month, but the test strips always show weak positive. The red bars on the test strips have never been very red. Now I suspect the test strips are fake. What kind of help do I need: What does it mean when the ovulation test strip keeps showing weak positive?Doctor's answer:
First, it's important to understand that ovulation test strips come in different sensitivities. Some are highly sensitive, while others are less so. The poster happened to use David ovulation test strips, which are among the least sensitive ones available. A significant number of users with David strips cannot detect a strong positive result. They can only determine ovulation by observing subtle changes. I recommend the poster switch to a different brand of test strips and try the Youxi ovulation test strips or the Aole ovulation test strips.
