So I am doing the Answers Ovulation Test Kit and the instructions said that the kit would tell me my 2 most fertile days. I have been taking these tests every day for over a week now and so far every test but the first one said that I am fertile. Is this normal?

What cycle day are you on? How long are your cycles normally?
You should not be reading "fertile" for over a week. 1-2 days at max. The test line has to be darker than the control line.
An OPK can be deceiving, becuase you have to read the "darkness" of the line. Most women have a steady level of the LH hormone in their blood, so the tests pick that up.
When the line is DARK is supposed to be when your surge is coming.
The site below was very helpful to me when I was trying to decipher all of that stuff. There's even photos of various kits for references.
Good luck!
Yes you may always get a line but it will get very dark when the test is positive.
