I'm just being nosey 🤷 If you have photos of your OPKs from negative to positive share away! I find it super fascinating that some have a really clear progression and some are stark negative all the way until blazing positive. I'm definitely one of those who always have a pretty clear line and then all of a sudden it's positive.

@ThelastRolo20 Rising! And have stayed the same since around 1pm yesturday. My plan was to do one around mid day today but we’re away out and I forgot to take one …. Shall do another once I get home. How are you doing? X

ThelastRolo20 · 12/08/2023 10:52

@Ecj92 how are the tests looking? Any peak yet? X

Ecj92 · 11/08/2023 10:11

@HopefullMumto4 Oh really ok, I thought it would at least start showing some signs of going up. I guess it’s just learning how my tests go for me. How are you feeling?

@Ecj92 don't worry, cd 13 is still super early for ovulation. With an average of 29 -31 day cycles and 10/11 day luteal phase that's still not an ovulation day until cd 18-20!

Mine went from what yours looked to blazing positive in about 18 hours.

@ThelastRolo20 They are between 29 and 31 days x

@HopefullMumto4 who doesn't want a stick dipped in urine as a birthday present haha! Make sure to let us know the outcome!
@Ecj92 don't worry, mine were a lot fainter than yours until a rapid peak day 14/15 - it's still within normal range for a cycle. How long are your cycles normally? X

@SnookyPook @ThelastRolo20 Hi! Some help please lovely’s! Surely these should be changing? I am so lost x

@HopefullMumto4 I think I'm only 3DPO so not yet but I think from Monday it'll be tempting! I'm not hopeful though due to the complete lack of EWCM and only having sex once around ovulation! Will try and hold out as close as possible to AF due date.

What about you? Are you eager to test as soon as??

I also have a complete lack of it! But i rarely do.

It's my husbands birthday at 8dpo so I'll probably cave then 🤣 even though I know it will be negative I still want to attempt to give him a stick dipped in urine for his birthday.

@ThelastRolo20 I'm still waiting for fertility friend to confirm ovulation but I'm considering myself 2dpo today 😬😬

Are you getting the itch to test yet? 🤣

@HopefullMumto4 that's a strong peak! Do you think you're in TWW now? @Ecj92 that's a steady climb :) hopefully won't be long now!

Hi lovely’s!

After taking out the “peak” test as I really think it was due to bright lighting, tonight’s one seems to be climbing again more steadily. How is everyone getting on?

Eek, ooh getting stronger there!

I am 95% sure I ovulated today as my cramps were awful this afternoon / evening, so looking forward to tomorrows test to see if it's negative

My gosh. I really thought yesterday was my peak... apparently not. Watching these lines is so cool. I don't remember being as interested in them as much last time I TTC

@Ecj92 haha that's definitely one way to do it :) good luck with the OPKs! Keep us updated x

haha hopefully! I will and good luck to you too! Keep me updated!

@Ecj92 we have a 19 month old daughter already but now thinking about baby 2. My cycles are slightly different now though so it feels new! We've had a couple of months of half trying but my cycle hasn't been 100% consistent (one went from my normal 29 days to 21 which threw me!). So thought I'd try OPKs :)

We've only managed sex twice though, once 4 days pre ov and once on day of so not entirely convinced this will be our month but officially entering the dreaded TWW!

Aww lovely you have a wee girl! Well I’m sending you lots of baby dust, and you have done it around your ovulation so fingers crossed!
the sex part for us with actively ttc has been fine…. every day so far, so if I miss ovulation hopefully that will help haha!!

@Ecj92 this has been my month. Looks like I have a very rapid peak and decline! Didn't get other ovulation symptoms though so not entirely holding my breath haha

Jeez that was a quick peak and decline again wasn't it 🤣 lucky you tested midday!

That looks like how I was expecting mine to go! Is this your first cycle ttc? Im
just so confused with it all, after going with it will happen when it happens to tracking ovulation Iv really got my heart set this month. I’m on CD10 and I feel crazy already.

@Ecj92 hmm tricky to say - with the naked eye they don't look that different to me? What are they like in person? Occasionally I've had readings on the app that don't completely sit comfortably with what I'm seeing (possibly lighting etc). I did have a peak cycle day 11 after my MMC which was early for me and it was a shorter than usual cycle (my luteal phase is 14 days so 25 day cycle that month instead of 28). Once you know your own cycle a bit more it will also be easier to make judgement calls where needed! Personally I would keep going with the testing and see how things look in a few days. Feel free to report back!

Sorry to hear about your mmc @SnookyPook

In person they don’t look that much different to me, all have two lines, one fainter than the other. From what I’m reading / seeing I’m guessing I’ll keep testing until the test line goes as dark or darker than the control line 😂to know when / if I’m ovulating.

Ecj92 · 07/08/2023 18:45

@ThelastRolo20 Nice to not be on my own! How are yours going?
good luck!

ThelastRolo20 · 07/08/2023 15:56

@Ecj92 it's my first month too and what I'm learning is that everyone's is so different! I doubt that's your peak, just keep testing :)
