Can someone tell me why the below is classed as low? I saw that line show up pretty much the same colours and thought oh I must be ovulating?
Am I wrong? Can someone please explain how to use these correctly

It’s just “low” because it’s not the same color yet! The number you see (0.76) is a ratio showing how dark your test line is compared to the control line. Your test will only be positive once you hit 1.0. “pretty much the same color” isn’t good enough :)

Use them twice a day, morning and evening, everyone's peak number is completely different, you may get wayyyy above 1 like 1.84 or you actually may not even reach 1, most people's peak is something above 0.8, it doesnt matter what, whether its 0.8 or 1.8 for you it just matters that you notice when it was and have sex then so you dont miss your fertile window. Tomorrow if for examply it says 1.2 in the morning and bavk down to only 0.98 by evening then that will have been your peak in the morning and then your egg is released roughly 24-36 hours after your peak. So keep testing to make sure you see your highest number. Good luck!!

My highest the last time I got pregnant was only 0.96 I think, it mightve actually been 0.86 it was definitely less than one. A few years ago when I got pregnant with my son it was actually a lot higher, it was about 1.8 then.

And sometimes it can lower a bit before hitting your peak, so when you think you've hit it, keep testing to make sure the numbers are actually coming back down. 👍👍

Ah! Just to be clear, your “peak” doesn’t actually matter (and only seems to have become a thing because of some test manufacturers and their apps)! Once you experience a surge, that’s it. You’ll ovulate within the next 48 hours. It doesn’t actually matter if your value the next time you test happens to be higher or when it drops. You can stop testing the moment you see a positive (or clear surge, e.g. once I hit 0.96 I didn’t bother testing again to try and actually hit 1.0). Save your tests and your money 😂
