Wondering if some of you lovely ladies can help if you can!
so I’ve been testing with ovulation strip tests since my period ended (cycle day 9 I started) and I’m now on cycle day 15. Cycle day 9 was light line then day 10 was slightly darker. Cycle day 11 afternoon was a lot darker and almost positive then cycle day 12 back to negative day and night . Day 13 the line was so faint I could barely see it and that was with first morning urine . Second morning urine it was a lot darker and almost positive again. Then that night it was negative . Same as day 14, pretty much positive afternoon then night was negative . Today I tested with second morning urine and it’s a lot more positive . I have sore (ish) boobs today if I poke them only. I have baby danced cycle day 9,10,11,12 and 14 , is it worth baby dancing again today I’m unsure if I’ve already ovulated or not . I’m getting pain in my right side but last time I felt ovulation pain it was my left side so I’m not sure if it’s even ovulation pain. I don’t temp and find it confusing , I wish it was simple !😭🤣

I never got on with urine OPK's, despite blood tests showing I do ovulate. I used a reusable, saliva OPK for years. Its like a tiny microscope and I found it much easier to read than the urine ones- and much cheaper overall! Very few people in the UK seem to have heard of them though.

Hi Op! Do you have a picture of your chart at all ? Do you log them into premum ? Looks like you could have peaked on day 12

Are you using an app to track? I used Premom and it’s the only way I could properly see my ovulation day, and accurately work out the days to DTD around it!

No , I used to but it was inaccurate for me because my cycles are irregular!
I’m pretty sure I ovulated cycle day 13/14 last month because I came bang on time , where as sometimes I ovulate as late as cycle day 19/20 so it’s really hard to know !
