i'm new to OPKs having previously just relied on guesswork - this worked for DD and also my last pregnancy which ended in a mc in feb.
We've now been ttc for a couple of months with no success post mc so I thought i'd try OPKs to check that I am ovulating when I think I am.... my cycles have been 24/25 days for the last 3 months, and based on ewcm and feeling horny I think I ovulate around CD or 12 (this also roughly ties in with dates from previous two pregnancies).

Soooo, started testing on CD6 as recommended by the packet for my cycle length. Got low fertility until CD10 when I got high fertility as expected (2 days before ovulation). This seemed to tie in with ewcm.
BUT nothing has changed since and for 4 days now I'm still only getting high fertility. I really did expect to get peak a couple of days ago. ewcm has gone now.
Anyone else experience something like this?
Think it could have missed my peak?
Or that I'm not ovulating?? (body still screwy from mc??)
Is it possible to get increasing oestrogen but no LH surge, or do the two go hand-in-hand?
Am I being stupid to panic?? i've only got 2 sticks left now

Oh day four of flashing smiley :( really thought today was going to be fixed??! Today is day app on phone says I 'ovulate' but maybe that's a good thing as not been using opks so far and maybe that's why we've not been catching as I ovulate late??!! We shall have to see!!! Shock
