That's not quite positive yet but might be tomorrow. My friend thought her fertile window was during a specific time in her cycle by calculating dates, then she started using opk's and realised she was missing ov completely as she was ov'ing during 'typical' times.

I've got really bad cramps today and a really sore back I am Just going by on ovulation app when I finished my period when my fertile days would be I finished period on 9th so maybe am just ovulating a bit later I'll just keep testing I've been taking my bbt it's been roughly the same the last few days....

I ov the day after I get ov cramps, my temp dips the day I ov and goes up the following day and stays up till AF arrives which shows for definite I ov.

lizzy7915 · 21/08/2016 17:00

Today's the worst I've felt cramp wise etc my bbt has been up and down the last few days but nothing major maybe I just had the wrong dates

Yeah apps aren't reliable at all for predicting cycle lengths unless you have the perfect 28 day cycle or you've got a totally regular cycle and always ovulate on the same day. I ovulated on cd21 this month. Last month it was cd18, the month I conceived DS it was cd22 etc etc....! Just keep doing the tests and taking your temp! Good luck

lizzy7915 · 21/08/2016 18:24

I am usually every month but had a CP so cycle was bit delayed this month so I guess all I can do is keep testing just a waiting game Hmmfingers crossed get my positive tomorrow or next day Smile

You normally ovulate 12-36 hours after your positive opk but sperm can survive inside you for a couple days leading up to fertile time so sometimes doing it the day before is enough to get your BFP but best keeping at it until ovulation has passed just to give yourself the best possible chance

lizzy7915 · 26/08/2016 12:56

I've baby danced for the last few days and good few days leading up to ovulation hoping this is my month Grin

I never had an opk quite as dark as the control, and yet I have conceived four times, three of which I was using opks. I think if you monitor your other fertile signs and your cycle, and you do two tests a day in the fertile window, you will learn how dark they are likely to go for you. Or you could go digital and avoid the guesswork.

lizzy7915 · 26/08/2016 13:54

My cycles etc as usually regular so I tested when I normally do but my period was last this cycle so I've ovulated later in month :) I just use the Internet ones as I test all the time and would go bankrupt using digital X
