Hi, my ovulation snuck up on me this month and I’m wondering how likely I am to get pregnant, my tests normally gradually get darker so I know when it’s coming so can time intercourse for the days leading up but my tests went from barely a line to very positive in a matter of 12 hours, I test every 12 hours and the test 24 hours before the positive was no line at all, the test 12 hours before there was a line coming and then it was blazing and very positive so we only had intercourse a few hours after the positive test and the next day but I’ve read it’s the intercourse before the positive that is more likely to get you pregnant than once you’ve got a positive test. Thank you for any advice or insight.

@Wouldloveanother how did this cycle go for you? My period came, I'm wondering if I even ovulated at all

@Wouldloveanother how you doing? I’m 6dpo today with light cramping near my left ovary so not sure if it’s period cramps or what, I hate the wait 😩

@Wouldloveanother sometimes it becomes too much doesn’t it, I wasn’t going to test anymore but decided to do one more and it’s a lot darker than the rest 🤦🏼‍♀️ Not quite positive but looks like it could get there, not a clue whats going on. Was you on any bc recently?

So annoying!
I haven’t tested today - I’m stopping now as it’s stressing me out. I’ve done the deed to cover 90% of fertile week so just got to hope that’s enough. And if not, I hope my opks return to normal next cycle - I guess my main worry is that my system is somehow a little messed up!

Georgia2609 · 26/06/2022 11:21

@Wouldloveanother at leat you’ve had ovulation pain for some kind of confirmation! It’s so typical isn’t it, I did a test today and it couldn’t be anymore negative

Well I did order my old tests and got this result today. I also had that distinctive ovulation pain a couple of hours ago so we dtd just to be on the safe side. It’s just very irritating as I put off ttc for a few months with perfect opks because of one reason or another, I start ttc and it all goes pear shaped! Hopefully you’ll get a clear strong surge!

@Wouldloveanother they’ve started getting slightly darker since the photo I showed you so not sure if I’ll get another surge yet because they’re definitely not at all positive but who knows. It’s so frustrating isn’t it, have you got any other batches of tests to try and see if they show any different?

how are the lines looking today Georgia?

same old for me; positive OPK at midway, now negative again. Beyond fed up!

Georgia2609 · 24/06/2022 17:15

@Wouldloveanother hmm maybe, I like sticking to what I know so I’d probably buy the same ones for the next cycle if this one doesn’t work but you’d think they should work really

Wouldloveanother · 24/06/2022 16:58

Im wondering if it’s a problem with the opks - I switched to a new brand, previously I was using the green ones which gave really consistent results (I also used them when I previously fell pregnant). Hmmmmm! We will find out in 2 weeks!

Georgia2609 · 24/06/2022 16:51

@Wouldloveanother that is so strange and confusing, if it had stayed positive longer then I’d have thought you last surge failed but it’s so odd that they are both so short! It’s just a waiting game now isn’t it

OP posts:
Wouldloveanother · 24/06/2022 16:23

Mine are back to negative again 🤯🤯🤯 what on Earth is happening? Right that’s it, one last bonk tonight then that’s my ttc effort done for the month - I think the stress is counterproductive now…

@Wouldloveanother I’d say that’s definitely a good idea, you’ll have don’t everything you can.

Let me know how it goes Georgia. Going to dtd tonight so we will have done it every day, or every other day, this cycle - so hopefully there will be some swimmers waiting whenever the egg decides to get a move on! It’s all we can do I suppose!

Georgia2609 · 24/06/2022 13:02

@Wouldloveanother wow that definitely looks like another positive! I haven’t tested yet today as I’m not home but I’m going to test when I get in about 2:30

OP posts:
Wouldloveanother · 24/06/2022 10:48

Ok just did another because I am now obsessed… it’s darker again and I would say, positive! So it looks like the second surge is happening

Wouldloveanother · 24/06/2022 10:10

Here’s today’s OPK anyway. Negative but quite a strong negative, usually my post surge tests are really faint.

Yes hopefully only a 10 day wait! 2 weeks feels so long. With my last pregnancy I got a strong positive at CD21, I probably could’ve taken the test a couple of days earlier and got a BFP. So thinking I’m an early ovulator.

Georgia2609 · 23/06/2022 23:57

@Wouldloveanother we’ll can do the dreaded 2 week wait together 😩😂 with my son I got a positive test at 10dpo and my miscarriage I got a positive test at 9dpo so might not have to wait a full two weeks 🤞🏻

OP posts:
Wouldloveanother · 23/06/2022 22:55

Same! We will have to compare outcomes - hoping our weird tests mean it’s a ‘lucky’ cycle rather than a dud, lol

Georgia2609 · 23/06/2022 22:50

@Wouldloveanother my positive test was yesterday so should be ovulating today so 2 weeks 😩 how about you?

OP posts:
Wouldloveanother · 23/06/2022 22:40

How long until test day Georgia?

Georgia2609 · 23/06/2022 21:37

@Wouldloveanother wouldn’t that be amazing! Not too long and we’ll all find out I’d love to know if you do ❤️ At 10am my tests were negative, 10:30pm it was very positive and 5am it was just about positive and 10am the next day very negative
