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 🤪

@Bouncytree I want to get another bd in today but dh isn’t having any of it! Lol but we did yesterday so hopefully I’m covered! Looks like you have some symptoms there! Eeek fx 🤞🏼🤞🏼

@Rachel93x I tested again yesterday and it was much lower then again today it was so so faint it came up as 0! I’ll do another shortly and then carry on testing once a day after I think! I’m really hoping to see a temp spike tomorrow, if I don’t see one I’ll be convinced I didn’t ovulate! I only came off the pill in August and really hoping it not having any side effects! I didn’t with ds but you never know what can change in a couple of years!

@Char899 he he it’s part of the fun! 🤣 yes it’s reassuring to know others have similar. You’ve put in a good innings this month anyway 💃🤣

@Rachel93x had some cramps yesterday and a pinchy feeling in the left for 30 sec. was 6 days dpo. Still lightly crampy today. Trying not to read too much into it! 😬 but I am also reading too much into it! 🤣
I’ve had constant indigestion since about 1 day dpo which is odd. But surely that’s too early. Still some boob ache going on too. I’m a bit wary I may have some residual hormones after MC, that happened Me before and I felt mega pregnant but wasn’t.

How are you getting on ?

Rachel93x · 31/10/2020 15:22

How are you both getting on? Any symptoms for you @Bouncytree? & have you done any more tests @Char899 🙌🏼

Char899 · 31/10/2020 00:18

@Bouncytree he wasn’t complaining 😂 I think he’s starting to get used to it now 😂
I feel better now I know your peak was short too, I was just doing some research and apparently perfectly normal so I feel better now. Looks like tomorrow might be the day so I’ll get another bd in then too 🙈

@Char899 lol your DH Didn’t know what hit him 😅😂. my peak only last 3 hours.

@Rachel93x, lol yes it’s all fine till you know you can test! We have good intentions 😆. We know it’s the best thing to do, but it’s too tempting!! We can try

I’m 6dpo. Had some cramping today and a little pinching, which is a little odd for me...but afraid to hope too much. Not a good idea to convince myself i actually am PG. 4 more days to test day!

OP posts:
Char899 · 30/10/2020 20:41

@Rachel93x last month I started testing at 7dpo 🤦🏼‍♀️ What are we like! Why do we do it to ourselves? 😂 fx for you 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Rachel93x · 30/10/2020 19:56

Eeeek how exciting!!! Such a relief isn't it when you see the lines both at the same time straight away and see it getting darker! It will just really depend on how much you've drank etc which is why it may have gone down, or you may just have a short phase but I think you're likely to have peaks again tomorrow morning 🙌🏼

I'm 5DPO, I've not had any symptoms or changes today other than the creamy discharge! I REALLY done want to test unless (if I'm lucky enough) it AF doesn't arrive, but I know it will get to 10DPO & I won't be able to help myself 😭

Char899 · 30/10/2020 18:15

@Bouncytree I did get excited. DH came home shortly after so I pounced!

Only thing is it seems to have done what it did last time and it’s dipped down again only a couple of hours later.. what on earth is my body doing 😡

@Char899 that looks like a peak 🥳 It’s always a bit exciting. BD time! 💃

Keep testing for a few days just to get your pattern and see it go back to 0. It’s more info you and the app.

Ohhhhhh!

OPK peak??
Char899 · 30/10/2020 13:57

@Rachel93x top one was a couple of hours ago, it’s just going up and down. I’m just panicking a little that maybe I’m not actually going to ovulate this month.. I feel like the peak before was my body trying to ovulate and failing.

Anyway. How are you both? What dpo are you now? Any more symptoms?

Rachel93x · 30/10/2020 13:30

Oh my gosh, is the top one today? That's certainly getting darker!! I think maybe you'll ovulate later this month, maybe tomorrow or Sunday? 🤔 but I'd be happy if it was me back in this situation seeing it's darker today!

Char899 · 30/10/2020 13:03

Hey guys, so confused! Cd 14 today, still havnt had another peak! Last one was cd 11! Femometer now saying I’m 2dpo but I still have ewcm and my temp hasn’t changed.. do you think my body failed to ovulate? 🤔

OPK peak??
Rachel93x · 29/10/2020 20:12

This wholeeee thing is just mentally stressful 😭 fingers crossed we all get there & soon have a BFP!

I've had killer boobs, wont lie 😂 but I know I always get this, I mean without going too much into it I do have lotion like discharge which is what I had last month only when I got a positive so not sure if it's just a coincidence or what 🤦🏼‍♀️

Char899 · 29/10/2020 20:06

@Bouncytree I totally get that. Just try and keep yourself busy and distract yourself as much as possible. Easier said than done obviously.

Well I still have no clue where I am lol my app still says 1dpo I’ve done 2 more opks which were both “high” 40% and then 33% so my body’s off doing its own thing! I’m just praying that it’s not that I’m failing to ovulate because that would just be beyond s**t! Lol

@Char899 Me? Never! Lol I’m jumping on any bit of a sign. But I’m trying to take it all very lightly and just have fun with it. I’ve convinced myself before and then the bfn is a real blow.

OP posts:
Char899 · 29/10/2020 17:25

Your right I just need to keep testing and what will be will be! Thank you for your help!

@Bouncytree ooohhh symptom spotting by any chance? 🙈 fingers firmly crossed that the sore boobs are onto something!

Hi @Char899 I think until your lh levels Flatline for a few days you can’t be sure (unless u know your previous pattern). So don’t stress about when it is/was for this month...just keep testing, you won’t have a clear picture till the end. My LG goes down to 0 a number of times before the proper peak.

My CM goes bone dry after the peak for a few days and then goes back to normal

OP posts:
Char899 · 29/10/2020 10:26

@Rachel93x no I have femometer and flo. I’m temping but it’s hard because I get woken up by ds so I’m not able to take it at the exact same time in the morning! Your temp should peak after ovulation and mine hasn’t and I’ve had negative opks this morning. I wonder if my temp will peak tomorrow morning. If opks predict ovulation in the next 12-36 hours maybe I ovulated day 12 (yesterday) I just don’t know 🙄 yeah ewcm is supposed to dry up once you’ve ovulated! This is my 4th day with it now but theres definitely much less of it.... 🤷🏼‍♀️

Rachel93x · 29/10/2020 09:36

Yeah I've used it as an excuse to my partner..his mouth just dropped like what 😂

Have you tried the Premom app? It shows the chart like the photo below! How up and down mine was! Maybe day 11 was your ovulation day? I don't BBT as it confuses me but that's the only true way to confirmation ovulation which makes me wonder if day 11 was the day 🤔 I get the EWCM about 3-4 days before ovulation! Does it stop after ovulation? All I know is once I've ovulated my boobs KILL 🥺

OPK peak??
Char899 · 29/10/2020 08:34

Ohhh I havnt seen that! But to be honest I don’t think I’ll want to dtd during the 2ww so I can now use that as an excuse 😂

So even though I still have ewcm and my temp did not rise this morning (it actually dropped) AND I still have not had another positive opk, femometer is still adamant I am now 1dpo... 🙄

@@Char899@ Glad your feeling better. Yes it can all be a bit of a mine field at times, but you will find your groove. I think once you know your pattern you can relax a little. Lol your off the hook then 😉

Rachel93x yes I was posting on it and reading. It’s crazy isn’t it! I hadn’t heard of that before. It wouldn’t stop you getting pregnant every time but decreases your chances. Ha ha luckily I am just done by the time I’ve reached ovulation too 😅😅😅. Imagine DTD every 2 -3 days till you get pregnant...is defo give up! 😆

6 days till I can test...counting down the days!

OP posts:
Rachel93x · 28/10/2020 22:28

Have you both read the thread on here about DTD during the 2 week wait?! 😬

I luckily have had enough of that come ovulation, but read it can cause issues with implantation (I just then think about people who just fall pregnant on the pill etc)... this TTC is stressful to say the least 🤷🏼‍♀️ I was none the wiser!

Char899 · 28/10/2020 22:10

Ah thank you both for your advice, I feel better already! It’s amazing how stressful and all consuming this ttc business is!
We’ve dtd tonight just incase and I’ll test again in the morning! I don’t think we will want to go anywhere near each other for a while after this 😂😃
