OPK newbie help!

Hi all,

So I happened to see some Wilko opks today and thought I would give one a go. My cycles vary from 29 to 33 days, averaging 31 and according to my apps I should ovulate tomorrow (cd 17) However, I've had ewcm starting on day 8 (cloudy) which became clear on Monday (cd 15) and yesterday had nausea, pulling sensations in my pelvic area and slightly tender breasts.

I know the opk below is negative, but do you think it's likely because I've already ovulated rather than delayed ovulation given my cm? I do still have some white, stretchy cm.

We've been dtd every 2-3 days since my period stopped anyway so it's more curiosity.

Thanks for advice, I told myself I'd avoid opks!

The only way to know is more OPKs to see if they get darker or stay light. If they stay light then I would presume you did O early. I've never had EWCM that I recall, yet get surges on OPKs, so I don't really have that to go by and rely on the OPKs Smile

For me OPKs and looking at ewcm didn’t work so I gave up and dtd every other day in what I thought was my fertile week. Two months later I got my BFP.

From what you’ve said try doing an OPK last thing tonight or first thing in the morning or maybe you missed your surge but will still ovulate tomorrow.

I hope that helps a bit. Good luck Smile

Thanks ladies Smile
Ewcm seems to have gone now so who knows, think we will stick to the plan of every few days as hopefully that will cover us!
