OPK Question- Did I mis-read a test?

Hello everyone-
So, this is my first real cycle TTC and my DR recommended I use OPK to better understand by body and cycle. Last month my cycle was 36 days, but usually when I am not on BCP it is 28-30 days. I know that I am in that getting regulated phase.
I started OPK at the end of June just to be on the safe side. Up until June 30 I only saw the control line (ordered OPK off early-pregnancytests.com). On 7/1 I had a faint test line, 7/2 had a test line that was not as dark as the control line, but just as thick, 7/3-4 faint test line. I assumed that I would O some time this week, but now I only see the control line again. I am utterly confused.
My tests say you are about to O when the test line is equal to or darker than the control line- that has not happened at all. But, now when I test all I see is the control line. Did I miss my O last week or do you think it will come later this week?
When you all test do you find that your positive O lines match what they are supposed to look like in the instruction papers? Any guidance would be appreciated. Thank you!

In the past when I used an opk I had this happen to me alot.

What cycle days were you using the opk?
Thanks for the post. I started doing the OPK on CD11 and have been doing them ever since. Today is CD21 for me. I am going to keep on testing, and hope that I get a dark, dark test line soon.
I have not done the temp. thing yet- I think that may make my husband feel like I am putting more pressure on us to have this happen ASAP. I was hoping the OPKs would work, but if they don't I will likely go the BBT route.
Thanks again for your note.
