Hi, i have irregular cycles and from my last period it was 44 days,
Anyway I got my period on Tuesday the 4th feb and came off properly today.. Sunday 9th feb.
Friday I brought some clear blue opks to try pin point when I would be ovulating... Took one that night And as I suspected it was negative ( no smiley face ) so today as a laugh I took one this morning and to my surprise my parter started screaming that it was a flashing smiley ( highly fertile )
Now is this even possible to be fertile after my period ?
This happened to anyone else?

I bought some of these and used them after my last period. I got the flashing face from day 9. Seven days later it was still flashing and i ran out of tests so never actually saw a peak!

OPKs are useless to use when the menstrual cycle is irregular and are thus more prone to giving you false readings. Please do not waste your cash on such things.

If your cycle is normally around 44 days it is likely that you are not ovulating regularly. A "normal" cycle is a cycle length of between 21 and 35 days.

Conditions like PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) produce higher than normal levels of LH: it is likely that the kit you are using is just reading that excess level.

Yes! My grandad used to work away and was only back at end of the month - when my nan go her period!! She always swore that's when she got pregnant - 6 times. Plus, I have read that it's not common but entirely possible!

We'll thanks nich and for the past year I've been keeping track of my body and my cycles. Have a huge calendar full of symptoms and changes. I Spose everyone is different and won't ever know until a few days time. Hopefully I won't need to go trough all the Ivf trouble as I wouldn't want to do that. Just I Spose I need to keep my fingers crossed and see what the week holds

That's ok. I'm just thinking if I ovulate very early that's the reason I ain't conceived... My partner Dosent touch me until a good week after I've finished my period.

If you've been tracking everything for a year, OP, do you know how long your LP is?
It would be very odd to ovulate this early, if you do have long and irregular cycles as the LP shouldn't be any longer than 16 days I believe (but Pls double check that as I'm not 100% sure).
I know you've been to GP before, but maybe re-tests are needed?
Good luck.
