Ask away, whether it's OPK's, LH, Temping (BBT), Surges, lines, DPO's, ask away, I have worked for the big boys of fertility and some of the smaller ones....

Hi @EvelineUK, I'm sorry for posting again but I think I have a better chart to show you this month. I really don't understand what's going on, because there doesn't seem to be any obvious rise in temp at all? Which makes me think maybe I'm not ovulating? But then, the "positive" OPK (which wasn't a true positive as wasn't darker than the test line, but was the darkest I had) was on CD23(!), 5 days later than predicted. And now AF is 3 days "late", which fits with a late ovulation. Can you make any sense of my bbt chart, and advise on whether you think I'm actually ovulating or not? Thanks in advance!

Hi @EvelineUK 🙂

I have a question to do with my clear blue digi ovulation kit.

I have had 5 days of flashing smiley faces (since Monday). My FLO app says I'm due to ovulate on Sunday which would be CD13.

Should it have shown a static yet or is it likely to show tomorrow or Sunday?

This is my third cycle trying, I'm 29 and have been taking folic acid and VitD for 3 months now so just wondered if I'm doing anything wrong?

Ahh ok Gotcha, so LH not shown? I really can't say for definite based on the temps, but that does look like a post ovulation rise and would fit with your LH results, so I would say yes cd15, and you clearly DTD at the right time, especially for making a girl ;)

Fingers crossed.

Apologies for the delay replying, having email issues...

Hi, thanks - the yellow line means nothing. Just something Ovia does to guess fertility. I’m wondering when I ovulated based on CM (EW until day 15 then school glue since) and temp, as the temp rise wasn’t as sharp as usual.

Would you still say 15? Thank you @EvelineUK

@Livingmagicallyagain
I assume the Yellow is the LH and red is temp? So it's a clear ovulation on CD15, unless I'm missing something?

@EvelineUK to you too and thanks for all your insights!

Any insight as to when I ovulated this month? I seemed to have two LH surges before day 14 and before day 16. Ignore the high temps between AF and ovulation, I was unwell for a day or two!

TIA!

@EvelineUK thank you for the reply I got my static face the following morning.

Katie1109 · 25/11/2019 10:30

Morning x

Just a quick question if anyone has any answers I would be eternally grateful x
I had quite a bit of EWCM yesterday, today I'm on CD 13 of 28/29 day cycle but my opks are still quite faint and have been since CD8. How long after ewcm ovulation occurs? I always thought it happens on the day of ovulation? No ewcm today, just watery/milky x

@he88
Looks good to me, try not to flip between opk's though, that can only lead to confusion...

Hi, just wondering if anyone can advise. I got my 1st flashing smiley face on the clearblue advanced digital opk this morning I then tested with a cheapie opk this evening and the line was a pretty strong colour as the control line. I've also noticed what looks like to me ewcm during today, does this mean I'm due to ovulate soon?

Sweetpea12 · 20/11/2019 12:20

@EvelineUK thank you it’s too early to be AF again and the bleeding seems to mainly be there when just wiping (sorry tmi) but I’ve had it each day since. Will make an appointment with a GP as I had this problem while on the pill

@sweetpea12
It's too soon to be AF again? Could it be an early MC? May be worth talking to your gp?

@evelineUK thank you, I got my peak today. Never been so happy to see a smiley face Grin

Sweetpea12 · 18/11/2019 14:45

Looking for a bit of advice if anyone can help. I had my usual period last week and it ended on Tuesday after 6 days which is normal for me. I then started using my opk tests as I usually peak around day 10 but now today I’ve had what seems to be the start of my period again. Would this mean I won’t ovulate this month?

Waiting1987 · 18/11/2019 13:55

I've tested today and it's still a strong line but lighter than yesterday.

Waiting1987 · 18/11/2019 13:53

Hello sorry to jump in, but just saw this thread.

Do you think any of these look positive?

Thank you!

@Katie1109
Cd6 is too early to ovulate, your app seems to call everything high, wait for the 'peak' reading, that is when you will have ovulated. Good Luck x

@Lf89
Your CP will monkey with things a little so you may get confusing results this month, if you don't get your peak by cd18 I would not test again till next month, there shouldn't be cross reaction with CB but more. Than 2 days of high is a sign the test is not workimg as expected..

Hello everyone x I was wondering if someone can help.

I have started using OPKs last cycle and input them into Femometer app. Last cycle I ovulated on CD 16 with peak result showing LH 176. My period was 2 days late and lasted about 36 hours, very light but a lot of cramping. Now I should be CD 6 but my LH result shows as High LH 16 - I had that kind of result last cycle on CD 12, so it seems way too early! Any thoughts? Photos from last cycle and today attached x
We are trying to conceive our first and it's now been 6 months since I came off the pill x had an early miscarriage in August at around 6 weeks sad

Only just found this but its amazing! So much useful information - thank you!

Slightly long one, I had a CP at 5+5, by the time I'd started bleeding the non sensitive tests were already showing as negative as my HCG was only 17.

I stopped bleeding after 5 days and started using clearblue OPK on day 8 (counting from say I started bleeding) and got a low, on day 9 I got a high. I'm now on my 7th day of high.

I started testing a bit early as I had no idea what my cycle would do this month. Last month I went straight from low on CD 16 to peak on CD 17 so I was surprised how early my high was this time.

I thought I had some EWCM on Friday, but now doubting myself as didn't get a peak. Also think I've got a little again today and I feel very nauseous today. Its driving me mad, I'm going to continue testing in case I now get a peak as it's about the time I did last month, but I have no idea if I just missed my peak last week.

Not really looking for an answer just wanted to vent my frustration.
