It sounds like either the OPK was a dud or it wasn't used properly. What did the instructions say? I'm not sure if

Well I am not sure what it means so I am going to be taking another one in an hour or so and see what happens. I think I might give them a call also.

Hi,
No reference line means the test is invalid (either broken, or used incorrectly). Do you have a dip kind or a mid stream? If it's dip kind make sure you hold it in the cup for 20secs, and if it's mid stream wait like 2 secs before putting the strip in the stream then hold it for like 5-7secs there. also make sure you hold it with the test portion downward and never tilt it the other way, that can mess it up too. If you're using a mid-stream type you can also dip it in a cup sample, I find it's less messy/easier that way.
