Amazon ovulation strips driving me mad. Is this a positive?

[Momma22]

What do you reckon ladies?

Also if anyone has used the same brand and has pics of what a positive looks like I'd love to see so I can compare, I've no idea what I'm looking for here? Think I need some new glasses 🙈

Looks positive to me xx

I’d say that was positive. I thought the test line had to be darker than the control line to show a +ve for ovulation and that looks darker to me?

Yes I'd say that's a positive

I have these strips, they drive me mad too !

Thanks ladies, it's just so odd for me to be getting a positive opk so early? I'm only cycle day 10 I used CB opks a couple months back and I didn't get a smiley til day 19? Plus my cycles are around 33 days usually, and I was under the impression that long cycles meant later ovulation? But for some weird reason my last cycle was only 28 days, which is so not the norm for me. My body's been doing some crazy things lately. So confusing! Lol

Have you done a pregnancy test
I've read that sometimes they can be positive when pregnant? Could explain why you're getting such a strong line so early? Xx

@louiise98 they're so confusing aren't they?! Gonna go back to CB opks if I'm not pregnant this cycle, not sure if I should trust the cheapies.

@Wobble85 I've had my period and I really don't think there's anyway it could have been IB. The first day of my period was quite light so I thought hmmm maybe this is IB, took a test the next morning. BFN! Wish you were right, but I doubt it 😕

Looks positive or nearly positive to me. Get busy tonight and for the next couple of days!

I use cb in the morning and then the amazon cheapies in the afternoon. I do have quite irregular cycles so sometimes end up doing 20 days+ of clearblue, which is blooming expensive!

That's a good idea @seven201 might buy a cb opk next month and the amazon ones and do it that way. Even still the clearblue are just so expensive!

Really confusing ! My lines have been really faint but I feel like they should be darker, deffo going back to cb once these are all gone x

@Momma22

I agree with the other poster recommending you take a pg test. If it was bleeding because of implantation taking a test the next day probably would have been too soon. It is possible to have a bleed like a period and still be pregnant. As it's so early for ov it might be worth it.
Good luck 🙂

Do you really think so? @BoBo90 I had the first day of my period was very light, the second day fairly heavy, and the following 2 days were light (only needed a panty liner sorry if TMI) I was under the impression that IB was 1, 2 days max of very light, pink or brown bleeding? In a way I hope I'm not, because I polished off a bottle of Pinot Grigio on Friday night 🙈 And I've just wasted a good chunk of money on preseed and opks

@momma22 I sometimes ovulate quite early - ovulated on day 9 this month then other days have ranged between 11-14! I panicked at first but I think it just depends what is normal for you and your cycle

I definitely think it's worth ruling out. Do you have any pg tests? If not I'd assume it's ov for now and keep testing with the cheap opks, dtd and then pick up a pg test as soon as you can.
Also don't worry about the Pinot as it wouldn't have affected any potential baby this early 😊

I'd say yes OP. I use the same and I know it's a bit weird but after a month of confusion on month 2 I took pics of mine so I could be sure the line was getting darker. I looked for darker rather than as dark as the test strip because I didn't want to miss it due to testing once a day.

I would definitely still suggest doing a test
just to rule it out? I'm not sure it'd pick up a positive the day after possible implantation bleeding? Though our bodies are always different

@BoBo90 I don't have any pregnancy tests lying around, I'll have to pick some up soon just to rule it out. I really don't think I could be pregnant though, because I have zero symptoms (in my previous pregnancies, my boobs were so sore, and now, nothing?) and I'm convinced I had a period and not IB?

Right so just because I'm slightly addicted to peeing on sticks, I took another one 🙈 To any normal person this pic probably looks exactly the same as the last one I posted, lol, but I'm not normal and to me that test line is just ever so slightly darker, I'm sure it's a positive now. What's going on with my body? Cycle day 10? so weird wasn't expecting this for another week. I reckon these cheap tests are dodgy

@Momma22 - definitely positive, although likely, it doesn't necessarily mean you will ovulate, it just means your body is gearing up to ovulate. Do you temp? As that will tell you if you do end up ovulating with a temperature rise. I have had positive opks early before on longer cycles and not gone on to ovulate until later.

I don't temp @FlapJackered if I'm not pregnant this cycle, I might give it a try next cycle

Done a pregnancy test just to see, BFN like I thought. Took another ovulation test this morning and that was also negative? Not sure what thinks means, did I ovulate last night? Or was it because I took the opk with first morning urine? I don't know, gonna do another in a couple of hours and we shall see

Sorry it was a bfn @Momma22 at least that's been ruled out now.
So if the opk is now faint that would suggest you will ovulate today or tomorrow! Have you had any other signs like ewcm?

That's okay @BoBo90 I was fully expecting a BFN, so it's no biggie :)

and ive no signs im about to ovulate other than the fact that last night my cervix was high soft and open, but I read somewhere that CP isn't the most reliable indictator of fertility so .. felt slight pulling sensation in the left side of my abdomen at about 7pm last night but I reckon that was just my imagination, lol, we DTD last night so hopefully if that was ovulation I'm covered! I work shifts and won't be home from work until 11:30pm tonight so OH will be tucked up in bed asleep by then so not sure if I'll be able to get another one in tonight, lol, hopefully I've done enough. Fingers crossed 🤞

And I never have egg white cm, we're using preseed this cycle for that very reason
