I am usually every month but had a CP so cycle was bit delayed this month so I guess all I can do is keep testing just a waiting game Hmmfingers crossed get my positive tomorrow or next day Smile

Yeah apps aren't reliable at all for predicting cycle lengths unless you have the perfect 28 day cycle or you've got a totally regular cycle and always ovulate on the same day. I ovulated on cd21 this month. Last month it was cd18, the month I conceived DS it was cd22 etc etc....! Just keep doing the tests and taking your temp! Good luck

I ov the day after I get ov cramps, my temp dips the day I ov and goes up the following day and stays up till AF arrives which shows for definite I ov.

That's not quite positive yet but might be tomorrow. My friend thought her fertile window was during a specific time in her cycle by calculating dates, then she started using opk's and realised she was missing ov completely as she was ov'ing during 'typical' times.

misstiggiwinkle · 21/08/2016 16:26

I got these positive opks yesterday and today so you can see how dark they get

Lizzi I'd say not positive yet! Some months I get a slow build like yours and other months I get faint-faint-faint-super positive-faint so it can be hard to judge. I have pcos though. You could be ovulating later than you thought this month. Keep testing until you get a can't mistake it positive and even then it can be up to 48 hrs before you actually ovulate.

Do u have other symptoms? Ewcm is the key one. You could also temp to see when u do ov. Might be useful for next month if you start recording now

MmmMalbec · 21/08/2016 16:22

No sorry, definitely not positive. How do you know it's your fertile window?

Interpreting OPKs can be quite fun Grin

This is my positive from this morning, the picture isn't the best because of poor focus but you can see the test line is darker than the control one.

It is quite dark, but if you compare it to the control line it's quite a bit off being as dark as that! Hopefully you'll get your positive in the next few days!

Really I thought was quite dark is in person and is darkest I've got so I'll keep at it :)

That's still quite a way off positive. Keep testing and DTDing!

lizzy7915 · 19/08/2016 17:33

This is the darkest one I've had since Monday night today is my highest fertile day so I'll just keep dtd but I am positive :)

Mine are like danigrace says. I've tried taking them every day from the end of AF to see if there is a pattern but there isn't it just goes extremely dark for about 48 hours then back to faint again. I think its highly unlikely you'd miss it completely if youre testing twice a day.

Do you have any EWCM as a secondary sign? Keep dtd anyway. Ovulation can very from cycle to cycle

I've colour pretty much since Monday night so hoping later today or tomorrow it'll be as dark

OP posts:
MmmMalbec · 18/08/2016 06:01

Mine is a gradual increase. This month I had one day where the line was like your last one, then the next day where it was pretty much the same as the control but not quite and then the next day I had my proper positive where the test like was darker than the control!

Good luck!

Although mine can slow build then disappear for 2 days then surge. Just keep testing and sexing!! Here's my positive from last week so you know what you're looking for x
