Darkest opk I've ever had 10dpo?

Hi ladies. So on the 7th and 8th I had these opks pictured they're positive right? Anyway so I assumed I ovulated on the 9th or 10th and last night I had one opk left and thought what the hell.... And it was ridiculously dark. Darkest opk I've ever seen. It was late and I didn't have my phone and fell asleep super quick so no picture 🙁 but I have no hpts. Should I buy one? How can I have positive opks then a super dark one this long after?

Yeah I think it was mostly down to timing! I hope so too, I'm already a bit anxious about the cramping I'm having but trying to stay positive and realistic at the same time!

FlapJackered · 24/11/2018 22:55

@Triskaidekaphilia sounds like you hit the nail on the head with timing and it all did the trick! I am going to give exercise a go in Jan if this one is another bfn. Good luck with your pregnancy hun. Hope it all runs smoothly. X

I don't know why it says 'last' after running, I was obviously going to say something about last month but said it lower down instead Grin

Triskaidekaphilia · 23/11/2018 22:46

Well I used the clearblue dual hormone ov tests for the second month running, last and we DTD the day before peak (didn't know it was the day before, just got lucky), on peak and the day after, so 2 days before ovulation and ov day itself. DH started going to the gym from previously being quite sedentary- I hear this can increase sperm count! I was eating quite a lot of protein and working out 3x a week. My cycles had been alternating between 28 day and longer ones recently which I heard can mean one ovary is 'lazy', and this was a 28 day one with ovulation on day 14 so I would've ovulated from my good one. I went to 4 social occasions involving alcohol which is usually how many I have in a year Blush but maybe that relaxed me? There are loads of factors overall that have changed over the 18 months including weight loss and having a supposedly long expired implant removed but I think that's everything from this cycle specifically :)

@Triskaidekaphilia you must be over the moon!
Thanks, no joy but hopefully soon! Was there anything you did differently this cycle? I think I am going to take a break from it all over Christmas though 🍸 🎄 🥧

This is a lucky thread! Congratulations 🎉

Triskaidekaphilia · 23/11/2018 10:06

Thank you both so much Smile I remember you too @FlapJackered, I've not really been on the boards this month as I got myself too worked up last month, so I don't know how you are getting on, but fx for you too xx

FlapJackered · 23/11/2018 06:45

@Triskaidekaphilia CONGRATULATIONS!! I remember you from another thread and so happy you finally got your bfp! Good luck hun and will keep my fingers crossed for a sticky bean for you!

MakeAWhish · 23/11/2018 01:11

@Triskaidekaphilia AMAZING news!!! So many congratulations to you!!!

Triskaidekaphilia · 22/11/2018 22:44

18 MONTHS AND I'VE FINALLY GOT MY BFP!
The second line started coming up after a minute and I started shaking! Shock Wanted to tell DH in a special way but I literally walked in in shock and told him! I'm getting some clearblue tests tomorrow to make sure. It still hasn't really sunk in yet!

Triskaidekaphilia · 22/11/2018 22:04

Yeah someone told me on my thread yesterday that it could just be surge before AF, so I'm not too sure. Mine were very dark although the control was very light (hadn't weed that long before/between them), think they were darker than the one I had at ovulation! My shopping delivery is coming in the next hour, then I'll test!

Oooooh do a test and let us know 🤗 that's what had me wondering. I had never seen an opk that dark in my life. And I've done alot of them lol hopefully not just a surge before your af turns up! Fingers crossed for you hugs

I started a thread about this yesterday as I didn't see this one- I had the same last night at 15dpo, two very strong positive opks, taking a preg test tonight! Had cramping for the past few days as well! Congrats to you and I'm although I'm trying not to read too much into it, I really hope I get the same result!

Yakadee · 22/11/2018 08:18

I had back ache and cramps for a few weeks at the start of both of my pregnancies and my son is 2.5yo and I'm currently 29 weeks. Congratulations xxx

Congrats! I had bad period-type pain at the start of my first pregnancy. Scared me so much but she's 2.5years old now so I guess it was all fine 😁

MakeAWhish · 21/11/2018 16:09

Yessss! Fab news.

Haha I'm sure he'll be happy with that! What's the verdict this morning?

Donnawoo09 · 20/11/2018 19:57

I got one, I'll do it in the morning. Not getting my hopes up though, if its negative then maybe I'm gonna ovulate 🤷‍♀️ and if I am then I better tell hubby to get ready for round two of baby making 😂 ah well, I don't think he'll mind 😁 x

MakeAWhish · 20/11/2018 19:40

God, how confusing for you! Definitely get a preg test in that case. Fingers crossed, let us know! X

Oh and that was Cd28, my last period was the 8th of October and nothing since. But I can go months in between periods anyway so I can ovulate at any time. Which by the tests I'm assuming was the 9th or 10th.

I made a thread on the 12th about the positive opks. Before that I had done pregnancy tests which were obviously Evap lines because I wasnt pregnant. But with having pcos I really have no way of knowing what's going on with my body after the Evap lines I started doing opks and got the positives on the 7th and 8th of this month. Sorry to confuse you, but my body confuses me on a daily basis ☹️ maybe just constant hopeful thinking x

MakeAWhish · 20/11/2018 18:28

Hi @Donnawoo09 I'm confused.... I was on a thread you started 2 weeks ago where you were taking pregnancy tests and you were on cd28? If that's the case I assume that you would naturally be ovulating now??

Donnawoo09 · 20/11/2018 14:09

Thanks, I know I shouldn't get my hopes up. It could be anything. Maybe the other tests might not have been positive and this is my actual positive and maybe I'm going to ovulate 🤷‍♀️ but I'll test anyway and we shall see
