Opks

[Sazwest]

Hey guys when do You all do your opks is it morning then before bed.
My app says I ovulate on 4th so just took an opk the pic is below.
I've only got 1 left so will take that in the morning. Can you buy opks from the high street shops. I'm gonna order some off eBay now.
Can you girls please show me your positive opks so I know what I'm looking at lol xx

So my dinner time opk looked like my morning opk lol @BlueSpottyTiger xx

So I done an opk at 6.30pm it wasn't light and it wasn't dark was inbetween lol. So I wonder if I ovulated today like my app says I would. I can feel a bit of pain where my ovaries are on and off and only get that when I ovulate. How are you getting on today @BlueSpottyTiger xx

My opks are doing my head in!!! They seem to be getting lighter instead of darker!! I don't know if it's cos I'm drinking too much water and my pee is really diluted but I try not to drink after 3pm and still the faintest of faint lines!!!
I'm on cd14 so was expecting to ov some time soon though I have came off the pill only 2 months so maybe cycles not back to normal yet?
Though I have had an achey back this past few days and all day today my left side has been hurting on and off.
Plus tmi but I was trying to check my cervix earlier and I could barely reach it!!???

@Emma2803 mine have been darkish 1st thing on a morning and again at about 2pm but others in between that a lightish. My app says I ovulate today I just keep doing the opks im not sure if they ain't getting darker coz of how much I drink through the day. I've had pain on my right side where my ovarie is. The pic below is my opk from this morning x

@Emma2803 this was yesterday mornings opk xx

Hi @sazwest that is way darker than what mine are, my app is saying I should be ovulating in the next day or so too. So blooming annoying. I only ever test in the evening but thinking I might start testing at 2-3 pm too.
I got positive opks last month and they were obviously dark if you know what I mean, the Friday night and the sat morning ones. So guesses I ovulated on the Saturday but period arrived on Wed 22nd at about 4pm so really should be due to ovulate very soon!

Sorry saz I've been in work..and forgot to look om this thread.. cannot get used to the app.. i normally go on through the internet on my phone..anywho!

Do you have the classic egg white cm?
I have seen some people comment they never got a dark positive on a opk but have still had the temperature spike that comes with ovulation.. keep testing though you never know.

I'm so glad today is the day we stop dtd for the fertile window..fewwwwww! X

Yeh I had some egg white cm this morning then nothing until about 2pm ( after that I'm not sure coz I've been Decorating so it's literally a quick wee then back to it) I'm not sure if I'm not getting complete dark opks coz of how much I drink throughout the day @BlueSpottyTiger. The pain I have been getting where my ovaries would be though must mean something. I've still been dtd everyday ( dtd before he went to work this morning) and said to hubby I want it again tomorrow morning and Thursday morning just to make sure I deffo catch ovulation incase it's a day or so late for any reason if u get me xx

@BlueSpottyTiger just not sure if I class tomorrow as 1dpo what would u say? Both my apps say I ovulate today lol. Xx

I'm not sure, see apps usually just go with about cd14 being ovulation as thats average. But it depends if you have actually ovulated try do another as late into the evening.. i got the fainest of faints on cd13 morning and by nightime all of a sudden it was mega dark so you never know until you know lol.
What apps you using?? Xx

I'm using the flo app. It must be my cycle is not back to normal yet. Here is a pic of this month's opks. They are so so faint. Though I am also having a bit of ewcm just now too! Very confused! 🤔

Ovia and one called p.c I just typed it in App Store. Think I will take one about 11ish if I'm still awake haha. I deffo think I've ovulated today as the pains I have only had today no other day and this mornings opk was darkish (pic below) xx

Tomorrow I'm going to try and not drink as much either see what happens even tho I think ovulation has happened today ( but I could be wrong) I will post pics tomorrow @BlueSpottyTiger @Emma2803 and show you xx

Me too @sazwest
Hopefully that pain today was you ovulating!!
Last month I had a sore back from Monday and randomly tested for ovulation on Friday cos it was so achey. Though with my ds I just had achey back all day and sharp ov pain that evening.

My test I did this evening has literally gotten darker in the half hour I've been in the shower, definitely not positive but definitely darker!

I wouldn't reduce what you both drinking. Drinking plenty of water is essential for ovulation xx

@BlueSpottyTiger I'm off to sleep hunni. I will keep you posted tomorrow lol. How many dpo are u. Xx

So this is my morning one done at 7.40. Will take another about 2ish see what that says. I don't think I'm ovulating today but we will see when I do an opk. How are you @BlueSpottyTiger @Emma2803 xx

Morning ladies can I hijack a moment please?

I have just started using these tests and does a positive mean that you ARE ovulating, or that you are about to ovulate in the next so many hours or something?

I had a fairly strong line last night but not equal to or darker than the control. This morning it was equal to the control. DTD this morning. Will text again when I get home from work at 6:30-ish but can't do it this afternoon unfortunately.

*test! Not text

That's still quite a dark line saz and not too far off control line. Do you still have pain in your side?
I did one this morning too and it was actually darker than my 8pm one yesterday. I've taken a test with me to do at work!! Lol

Hey @BasinHaircut did you take a pic hunni: if both lines are the same darkness then ovulation happens I think within 12 hours (I might be wrong) but if you have dtd today I would say u are in with a very very good chance to fall pregnant 🙂🙂. Mine lines are almost the same but no quite there yet I ovulated either yesterday or today I'm not sure: but we are dtd everyday until at least the weekend xx

Yeh still have pain in my side xx

No saz I didn't take a pic, should have shouldn't I!

Will test again at home later and probably DTD again tonight. Good luck everyone!

I do least then u can see a difference take on later and post on this thread. Yeh I probably will be dtd later to makes sure. The things we have to do to get pregnant lol xx
