Help! Line getting lighter on OPK not darker!!

[cure65roses]

I know, I have already posted this question but please can somebody tell me why my line is getting lighter the closer I get to O?  On Sat. I tested and there were two pretty dark lines, so I did a second test on the digital and it was negative.  But Sunday I didn't test and Monday, and Tuesday ea. day the line gets lighter and today is barely visible...  And my temp dropped today (CD 11) and i think i normally o around day 12 of my cycle...  Could it be that I ovulated Sunday?  That would be day 9 of my cycle.  Surely not!!  

I am sorry for posting this again but would appreciate any comments.  I'm new to OPK testing so I'm a little concerned about what's going on.  I really appreciate your patience and any comments.  Thanks

its confusing isnt it?  the lines have to be the same exact shade or darker than the control line or you didnt o.  i always tested at 10am and again at 4pm or you might miss your window.  you can have different shades througout your cycle starting darker then lighter then darker you know what i mean?  i bought the strips you dip in your pee because they were cheaper and i had a ton of them.   if you have the $$ the digital are non brainers it will tell you.  

i will give you an example of what i did (we are all so different though),.  i had a 32 day cycle.  so i was supposed to o on day 18.   i would start testing about day 14 and i was right on the money.  i didnt do as well with temps because i never seemed to remember to temp as soon as i woke up or i would take a drink of water just prior.

I'm new too. I purchased the one month supply and feel I'm wasting the test. The first response is just as confusing. The first week the test line was barely visible and with each day, it got darker. Something I found out is I had to test in the evening before I finally received a positive test and even then both lines were not the same shade but clearly dark, but not like the picture on the box, now the line is faint so I am assuming those two days both lines were dark, were my ovulation days.
