Ovulation Corner

[EvelineUK]

Ask away, whether it's OPK's, LH, Temping (BBT), Surges, lines, DPO's, ask away, I have worked for the big boys of fertility and some of the smaller ones....

@Lf89
Your CP will monkey with things a little so you may get confusing results this month, if you don't get your peak by cd18 I would not test again till next month, there shouldn't be cross reaction with CB but more. Than 2 days of high is a sign the test is not workimg as expected..

@Katie1109
Cd6 is too early to ovulate, your app seems to call everything high, wait for the 'peak' reading, that is when you will have ovulated. Good Luck x

Hello sorry to jump in, but just saw this thread.

Do you think any of these look positive?

Thank you!

I've tested today and it's still a strong line but lighter than yesterday.

Looking for a bit of advice if anyone can help. I had my usual period last week and it ended on Tuesday after 6 days which is normal for me. I then started using my opk tests as I usually peak around day 10 but now today I’ve had what seems to be the start of my period again. Would this mean I won’t ovulate this month?

@evelineUK thank you, I got my peak today. Never been so happy to see a smiley face

@Waiting1987
17pm looks positive to me...

@sweetpea12
It's too soon to be AF again? Could it be an early MC? May be worth talking to your gp?

@Lf89 good to hear, good luck to you, have my fingers crossed. X

@EvelineUK thank you it’s too early to be AF again and the bleeding seems to mainly be there when just wiping (sorry tmi) but I’ve had it each day since. Will make an appointment with a GP as I had this problem while on the pill

Hi, just wondering if anyone can advise. I got my 1st flashing smiley face on the clearblue advanced digital opk this morning I then tested with a cheapie opk this evening and the line was a pretty strong colour as the control line. I've also noticed what looks like to me ewcm during today, does this mean I'm due to ovulate soon?

@he88
Looks good to me, try not to flip between opk's though, that can only lead to confusion...

Morning x

Just a quick question if anyone has any answers I would be eternally grateful x
I had quite a bit of EWCM yesterday, today I'm on CD 13 of 28/29 day cycle but my opks are still quite faint and have been since CD8. How long after ewcm ovulation occurs? I always thought it happens on the day of ovulation? No ewcm today, just watery/milky x

@EvelineUK thank you for the reply I got my static face the following morning.

Merry Christmas all, hope you all have a relaxing Chrismas, any further questions ask away as I have some time to answer now...

@EvelineUK to you too and thanks for all your insights!

Any insight as to when I ovulated this month? I seemed to have two LH surges before day 14 and before day 16. Ignore the high temps between AF and ovulation, I was unwell for a day or two!

TIA!

@Livingmagicallyagain
I assume the Yellow is the LH and red is temp? So it's a clear ovulation on CD15, unless I'm missing something?

Hi, thanks - the yellow line means nothing. Just something Ovia does to guess fertility. I’m wondering when I ovulated based on CM (EW until day 15 then school glue since) and temp, as the temp rise wasn’t as sharp as usual.

Would you still say 15? Thank you @EvelineUK

Ahh ok Gotcha, so LH not shown? I really can't say for definite based on the temps, but that does look like a post ovulation rise and would fit with your LH results, so I would say yes cd15, and you clearly DTD at the right time, especially for making a girl ;)

Fingers crossed.

Apologies for the delay replying, having email issues...

Hi @EvelineUK 🙂

I have a question to do with my clear blue digi ovulation kit.

I have had 5 days of flashing smiley faces (since Monday). My FLO app says I'm due to ovulate on Sunday which would be CD13.

Should it have shown a static yet or is it likely to show tomorrow or Sunday?

This is my third cycle trying, I'm 29 and have been taking folic acid and VitD for 3 months now so just wondered if I'm doing anything wrong?

Never mind 🙂 got my static this morning!

@HalfPenny28
Yay, sorry, not getting message notifications, hope your SMEP is on point and fingers crossed x

Hi @EvelineUK, I'm sorry for posting again but I think I have a better chart to show you this month. I really don't understand what's going on, because there doesn't seem to be any obvious rise in temp at all? Which makes me think maybe I'm not ovulating? But then, the "positive" OPK (which wasn't a true positive as wasn't darker than the test line, but was the darkest I had) was on CD23(!), 5 days later than predicted. And now AF is 3 days "late", which fits with a late ovulation. Can you make any sense of my bbt chart, and advise on whether you think I'm actually ovulating or not? Thanks in advance!

@AdalbertWaffling
Your BBT is a bit sketchy, not sure how you are measuring, but your technique may need to be looked at. That said if i'm reading right it looks a little like you 'ovulated' around that cd10/12 mark and the temp did rise around cd14 which correlates as well to that LH 'peak'. Did you manage the BD any time around CD12?
All of this is showing signs of ovulation, but if you are worried about whether your LH is peaking or not, maybe choose a slightly better LH test?

@EvelineUK thank you for your reply! I take my temperature as soon as I wake up in the morning, before getting out of bed. Sometimes I may lay dozing for a little while before taking it, but I didn't think that would make a difference? It's good to know you still think there's a chance I'm ovulating, that's reassuring! Although your dates are even later than what I thought was going on (they're dates at the bottom, not cd), so we BD for almost 2 1/2 weeks straight, ending on 11th, and then nothing for two days over 12th/13th 🤦🏼‍♀️ which is typical!
