Well you haven't missed the window - you had sex from cd11 according to your chart, and ovulated Cd12 at the earliest, so it's fine.

Doesn't sound like you have pcos, or not severely anyway. I don't know much about opks unfortunately, as I don't find them useful, so I don't know about the one tube but I can't imagine how it would matter 🤔 Your ovaries still make the hormones even if one of them doesn't send the eggs in the right direction any more!

Yeah that's true, either way it's a waiting game now 🙏🏼 Thank you for your replies! And good luck if your TTC ✨

@PersephonesPantaloons Just saw your other part of the message... No PCOS that I am aware of... my cycles seem to go in a pattern of a 28 day cycle to the next being a 31 day cycle... then back again, like every other if that makes sense!

I am down a fallopian tube (right side) from a ruptured ectopic back in January 😔 Not sure if this would have an effect 🤷🏻‍♀️

Not familiar with that app. The light blue is temp? If you were experienced at BBT I'd say it was clear you ovulated on Cd12, but there are a lot of factors that can cause a random higher temp that you may not yet be aware of.
Is the orange opks? And your peak was cd13? From that ovulation appears to be CD14 possibly. So that does not correlate with bbt.

Possibilities:

your temps are wrong. Alcohol/poor sleep/wake times/using less effective places to measure temp eg wrist/illness. In this case I'd go with the date the opks indicate.
your opks are unreliable. Do you have pcos or anything else that could affect them?

Thank you for the reply 🙏🏼 Yes my temps the blue one and OPK is the orange.... I did have quite a dark OPK CD12 in the evening and had cramps all morning on CD13, so maybe I ovulated on CD13 quite early!?

These are the easy @ home LH strips and BBT thermometer 🌡️ Second cycle tracking BBT so was confusing... 🫤 I'll keep in mind what can effect the readings from what you've said, thank you ☺️

I was just stressing we had missed the window, as last month I didn't get a positive OPK till CD17 🤔 So this time it's super early! ✨
