What the hell is my body doing? How positive would people say this is? It's the darkest OPK I have ever had, in five cycles.

I general get ovulation pain, (thanks post laparoscopic adhesions, yay). Am due to ovulate on Wednesday 20th. I'm CD11 right now.

I know there aren't any definites in this game but any thoughts would be grateful received. I think I'm losing the plot.

Thank goodness for my wonderful DH, who made me laugh about it all and then suggested we dtd.....just in case 😂

That's a negative test but I hope you see stronger lines as you get closer to Wednesday. I used to do OPKs three times a day in the lead up to ovulation to make sure I didn't miss my positive result.

Thanks @Writerwannabe83, I hope so too. Although if this pain lasts until Wednesday I'll be in danger of punching someone. Hmm
I did opk's religiously and regularly the month before last, didn't get anything nearly this dark. Definitely ovulated though as I had a chemical that cycle. I find all this guessing until after the fact so bloody frustrating. I think I miss timing things last month because I went by the pain instead of other methods.

Know how you feel , my opk are like that too.. So frustrating.

Glad it's not just me @Hulaballoo. Is driving me mad. I'll keep you updated on what I get the next few days.

I would have got a positive about 2 days after a line like that. Good luck!

Picture attached shows yesterday opk at the top and today's at the bottom. Do you guys think I ovulated yesterday.

I found it really hard to ever get a dark line on those tests. it's easy to miss your peak time if you're not testing religiously same time each day. I only got a line as dark as that myself and that was the month I fell pregnant so I obviously must have ovulated some time around that time.

Not necessarily. In my experience, LH levels tend to fluctuate throughout the month. I don't seem to get a gradual build up to ov day followed by a gradual decline, so it's hard to pin point where you are before getting a definite positive. See what happens in the next few days. If it's any consolation I'm currently on CD23 and still waiting for a positive (I normally on between days 16 and 19!). Good luck.

Thanks guys. That's heartening to hear @demirose87. FX this is my month!
