Did I miss the peak!

[captainnopatience]

Shamelessly posting here for traffic!

I'm in my cycle post miscarriage so had no idea when I may ovulate. I did a random OPK last weds and have done loads since. Would you say I just missed my peak from this photo?

Top was first OPK bottom is most recent.

We dtd last weds on the day of the strongest OPK so fingers crossed.

So weird this month I had very little EWCM and no ovulation pains so thought I had ovulated but it does look like my LH was high and is now falling so maybe I did!

Sorry I thought I hadnt* ovulated

Should say I'm now 3 weeks post miscarriage (from the start of the bleeding) so could make sense that it would have been about the right time for ovulation last week....

I'm sorry for your loss.

Have you had a negative pregnancy test yet?

Yes, fully negative and had a scan and all has completely gone.

Thanks @babyjellyfish

OPKs are now completely negative x

I would keep testing. I always found my cycle took a while to go back to normal after a miscarriage x

I'm not entirely convinced by the accuracy of these. While they are useful, putting too much faith in them might actually reduce opportunity.
Both my children were conceived at times that didn't work with the dates/ these tests. I must ovulate really late in my cycle. I could never get a a decent reading.
Every other day/ regularly is a good option. You've already been through a lot and this kind of pressure for the right moment is unlikely to help

Thanks @Calmdown14
I've conceived twice by having sex on peak OPK day and they definitely work for me. My DH works away so regular sex isn't possible he physically has to come home when it's time. So romantic

So sorry for your loss after 2 MCs I understand how you feel.

Ill be honest I was a POAS addict, I used 2 different types, the chepo ones pictured and I then used to back it up with temping and a clear blue smile face ones. Because I'd use the cheapo ones to gauge when I was due to ovulate then use the clear blue ones to accurately pin point it, I'd only ever use a couple of the more expensive clear blue. Do you temp too? If not I'reccomend it and get an app which tracks the temps To keep a record

This month you may have got it bang on but don't pin all your hopes on it, it will only add to the disappointment if you have not, although I know how hard that is, I didn't and would spend a fortune POAS waiting for AF.

I hope you are OK 💐

@Cloudyvintage thank you. yes this is exactly what I do with the OPKs. Sometimes I don't bother with the clear blue at all if I get a really strong peak on the cheapies.

I don't feel like it's happening this month so actually feel quite relaxed about it! Did you get your baby in the end? I hope so. I have a beautiful baby boy already who's 15m so he keeps me very busy. He was conceived in one lucky night so this feels very different this time around (also still breastfeeding to complicate things further!)

I have DD who is 7 and DS 14 months, which means I have been pregnant 4 times using the methods we did.

It sounds like you are doing all the right things. If you are BF your periods can be a bit hit and miss if you have any at all which you will know. I hope it works for you and don't worry it all works out in the end. Being pregnant second time around with an existing child is not a bundle of laughs so enjoy the time you have and use it to do things you won't be able or want to do afterwards. Morning sickness and tirdness is harder when its not your first, I didn't feel up for much plus my last pregnancy was complicated which meant I was not really allowed out 6 months onwards.

Good luck
