OPK peak??

257 replies

Bouncytree · 20/10/2020 12:20

I can’t tell if I have peaked and missed it, or if I am yet to peak.

I was at 40% high one evening...but then back to low levels and fluctuating slightly since then. Back to 0% now. See picture

Could I have peaked overnight and missed it? Is that even possible? Are my LH levels just fluctuating as they go down? if I’m now at 0% does that mean The peak has passed?

Last few cycles testing I got very clear peaks 100-200%. So I am very confused by all this! We have been DTD every two days in case 😅😅😅

Can anyone shed on light on what might be happening? So confused 🤪

@Char899 I often go up and down with my sticks but I never get such a peak as I do the week I ovulate 🤔 body are so bloody weird!

@Bouncytree Yes, I can drink 4L a day out of boredom and it's such a night mare for when I decide to test! I have fingers crossed for you..it certainly sounds promising!! 🤞🏻🙊

I've felt VERY sick this evening, but not sure if it was hunger as I had an early lunch we went out this evening for our last bit of freedom! But I just don't feel different, it's just very weird for me not to have cramps this close to AF due!

@Bouncytree @Rachel93x it’s so odd isn’t it? These are my opks post ovulation (if I did ovulate) had a couple of random higher ones today then just now was very low again. I’m just so confused this cycle it seems very messy. I also still have low temps which doesn’t tie in with having ovulated... so frustrating!

@Char899 hmm I’m not sure mine doesn’t tend to come back, but I have heard some others resporting a lot of CM after ovulation, thinking it was a poss PH sign. But if it’s very egg whitey maybe an OPK just to be sure? It did look like you peaked already but you know know.

@Rachel93x fingers crossed it stays away 🤞

Yes AF should have shown today and still no sign or cramps. Got an early test, but always drink tons of water in the evening and was really thirsty, so think it would be a waste tonight. Damn it! I will do it in the morning.

Had a bit of a hot flush in the chemist 😅. Boobs are achy and have Wierd tummy.

Still hanging on in there! It’s agony!!

@Bouncytree oh I hadn't realised AF was due for you today, hopefully she stays away and if you get a more sensitive test, try it tomorrow morning 🙊

AF for me isn't due until Monday, but I always get spotting a couple of days before so I'll probably know come the weekend if out or not! Only weird thing for me is the dreams I've been having, but I am so tired so maybe it's that!

@Char899 hm, I think I've read that you get it a couple of days after ovulation as well? I don't really get a lot of it so I'm not much help 😭

Char899 · 04/11/2020 16:36

Advice please ladies! I’m 4dpo today.. warning tmi... just sat down to go to the loo and had a massive amount of ewcm! Any ideas what’s going on?did I maybe not ovulate and my body is gearing up to try again? It wasn’t clear it was like a whiteish colour but very stretchy just like ewcm?

Char899 · 04/11/2020 16:25

@Bouncytree grab a frer and hold your wee for a few hours!

@Rachel93x hope you doing ok. Did AF - arrive?

@Char899 AT due on today! Still not arrived, no cramps today. Though I do feel a bit ‘off’

I’m going to get a more sensitive test I think. Bad idea to test this eve? I’m wondering whether to wait for FMU

@Bouncytree fx af stays away for you! When are you due on?

Rachel93x · 04/11/2020 07:39

@Bouncytree definitely not out until AF shows 🙌🏼 fingers crossed when you retest it's a BFP!

My sister was pregnant, it took her 4 weeks to show on a Test, can you imagine! I never realised until she told me recently, so she was 8 weeks by the time she found out!

I woke up in the night with the worst cramps so I know I'm out!

BFN this morning for me, Will see if AF arrives today. I’m Only 11 dpo As ovulated early, so possible too early but will know if AF comes.

@Char899 and @Rachel93x ah sweet if you to think of me. Yes! Test day tomorrow.

Don’t know what to think at this point. Cramps came back and felt just like AF and I thought I’m out, but then felt nauseous And now they are gone again. Also possible metallic taste.

Definitely not my normal pattern...I just get consistent cramps and AF a couple of hours later. So I’m in with a shot! But it could all just turn to dust in the morning.

Eeeep! Fingers crossed 🤞 I will be grabbing a test as soon as I wake up!!

@jessi60 sorry didn’t mean to be a downer on the Mat leave. You will just be so in love you won’t even care.

@Bouncytree now starting to think my 2 months full pay is in fact crap haha.

Yeah I think when I run out I’ll get them off Amazon 😂😂xx

@jessi60 lol that’s hilarious about buying the opks 🤣🤣🤣 I would be the same. You can buy a bumper pack of cheapies in amazon.

Yes early days @Char899....yes it’s just forever isn’t it! Yes been there with the frers too...you could use one every day till AF arrives.

@Rachel93x wow 9 months paid Mat leave is amazing. I get 6 months, that’s standard here in ireland. If your breastfeeding I think you need at least 8 months so 9 is great.

@Bouncytree oh wow, they really are totally different symptoms each time!! It's test day tomorrow for you isn't it?

@Rachel93x hard to tell...I always ‘feel Pregnant’...every month I’m TTC till AF arrives! 🤣 it really is so hard to tell. I’ve been PG 3 times now and each one completely different.

1st PG: pond water taste and sore boobs
2nd PG: pelvic pain
3rd PG: implantation camps and pelvic pain

So hard to tell! Still a mystery to me 🤷‍♀️

@Rachel93x yeah your right and people in a lot worse situations cope just fine Xx

Rachel93x · 03/11/2020 15:54

@jessi60 and does anybody ever have enough money for a baby anyway 🙊🤷🏼‍♀️ it's always manageable and when you want someone so bad, when it does happen we won't care about that!xx

jessi60 · 03/11/2020 15:50

Yeah I thought it was better than it is to be honest, would still have to work loads of extra shifts beforehand though to save money. But then i seen that loads of people don’t even get anything from their work. Xx @Rachel93x

Rachel93x · 03/11/2020 15:46

@jessi60 2 months? I thought working for the NHS you'd get more, but it's definitely better than some! I only work for a water company in their accounts teams, so when I read the contract I was shocked!xx

jessi60 · 03/11/2020 15:40

Yeah that’s good isn’t it, I’m a nurse, nhs. Think I get full pay for 2 months and then it drops down to half pay. It’s not the best I guess but a lot better than some! Xx @Rachel93x

Rachel93x · 03/11/2020 15:34

@jessi60 I get full pay for 9 months + 1 month holiday, so I count myself SO lucky!! My sisters got a 18 month old and she was living of maternity pay from the government!

jessi60 · 03/11/2020 12:09

Random question ... but do you girls all have good maternity packages with your jobs? I’m lucky enough that I will but I was shocked at how bad some jobs are for it and some you don’t even get anything 😧xx

Char899 · 03/11/2020 11:51

@Rachel93x I’m the same, it’s early days but definitely don’t feel like anything going on! I’m going to try and hold out until af is due this month too. I spent a fortune on frers last month and really stressed myself out so don’t want that again!

Rachel93x · 03/11/2020 09:21

@Char899 no, I'm going to wait until AF is due - like maybe a couple days after if it doesn't, although I just feel no different and likely to be out this month 🙈

How are you feeling?
