Hi. New to OPKs here too! This week I started testing from Sunday- I got a low, flashing, flashing, static on wednesday. So is Wednesday my ovulation day or the days after? Thanks to anyone who can help x

@user1464795209 yes this is a great too someone else gave me. Once I got the flashing on I tested in the afternoon too so as not to miss the LH surge. All this bloody science😂

user1464795209 · 26/05/2020 23:16

I had 6 flashing smileys and got a static on the afternoon of the 6th day! No idea what made me test with afternoon urine not fmu but I hear afternoon picks up better so many be worth a shot ?

@hiddenfigure I literally just asked the same thing on another thread! They said assume the day after your first peak but who knows. I think of you temp you have a better ideas.

@imhereforthecake 10DPO is early so fingers crossed.

hiddenfigure · 26/05/2020 09:41

How do you know what DPO you are? I used the CB ovulation sticks but can’t work it out haha!

I got my static smiley on 11th May... does that mean ovulation for me was 13th or 14th most likely?

10dpo. Negative test today. But I’m hoping it’s a little too early?

Hi @hiddenfigure

Now on the dreaded 2 week wait!

@hiddenfigure I'll try a few more days see what happens. Have you had any luck with the clue blue?

@jazzibelle I was testing once a day until I got my flashing, then testing twice, morning and before bed. I used my last test this morning - waiting for my delivery of more today.

@imhereforthecake I had 6 days of flashing too - got a static on the 7th. Stick with it!

jazzibelle · 12/05/2020 16:57

@imhereforthecake don't give up hope.

I tend to get circle for 1-3 days, then 6-9 days of flashing, then a static. Usually, I'll test once a day with FMU until I get flashing, then I test FMU, SMU, mid-afternoon and evening (depending on how late I stay up, I might squeeze another in before bed). Usually, for me, the static shows in the late-afternoon early evening.

How many times a day are you testing?

sani83 · 12/05/2020 12:13

Just had another peak OPK since 4th May all I get is either high or peak OPK no ovulation, one day light bleeding two days heavy bleeding

Twiggywinkle13 · 12/05/2020 11:37

I don’t know if this is just me but I’ve only ever got a static smiley when I test in the evening? Maybe worth a try for you too x

I'm on day 6 of flashing smileys.
I feel like giving up this month!

@AnxiousAnnie86 I haven't ovulated yet. My cycles have been messy/irregular for the last year. I am measuring my temperature every morning low temperature however still heavily bleeding. The OPK test came back as Peak yesterday that's confusing. If it wasn't for that I would have said my period arrived early. Booked appointment to see a doctor tomorrow. Hopefully nothing serious

AnxiousAnnie86 · 12/05/2020 08:38

@sani83 how long are your cycles? I normally get positive ovulation when period is due, could it ot come early, x

AnxiousAnnie86 · 12/05/2020 08:36

@sani83 I don't know about the bleeding I'm afraid. Have you already ovulated this cycle? I had ten days of flashing "high fertility" along with ten days of ewcm, now I am onto day four of positive opks! X

sani83 · 11/05/2020 20:38

I am on the 21 day of my cycle, keep getting peak and high LH test results, my body is trying to ovulate but hasn't happened yet. Yesterday I had light bleeding, today full on heavy bleeding. Today I tested twice says peak. I've never had this before. Has someone experienced something similar? Any advice?

serialplanner · 11/05/2020 20:34

@Slippingcareer thank you for replying. I stumped. I tested everyday with FMU. I didn't notice pains this month but if I do will try your method. But also I think I'll go got the 4 day one instead of 2 days.

The only plus is I haven't obsessed about DPO because I don't know when it happened😂

serialplanner · 11/05/2020 20:31

@hiddenfigure hopefully you don't need them next month🥰

Slippingcareer · 11/05/2020 19:31

@serialplanner I test in the morning with FMU as per the instructions. Normally I test once per day unless I feel ovulation pain. The 2 times I felt ovulation pain, I tested in the evening and immediately got a static smiley.
