Hello all,

Could I borrow some expert eyes? Charting OPKs for the first time this month (cycle 3 of TTC first child).

Usually I have a 28-day cycle. Day 12 today. Flo Ap predicts ovulation tomorrow, but Premom predicts Monday.

I'm charting my OPKs on the Premom app. Pic attached here - does this look as if it's rising as it should? I feel it's a bit pale still to ovulate tomorrow, so maybe the Monday prediction is more accurate.

Thanks in advance for any opinions!

This was my lead up, as you can see the positive is in the middle.

The one before the positive was the same day just a few hours earlier.

Does that help at all? I would honestly test twice a day from now on til you get your +. I think it's possible to miss it...

That's very helpful - thank you! I'm just about to test again.

Yes do- if I hadn't have tested after an evening out last Saturday (tested at 10pm) I would have missed my really positive stick!!

Sorry to piggy back on someone else’s thread but does anyone think this is positive. It was done at 10am today and another at 3pm looked exactly the same. DTD just incase Wink

Thank you all in advance for your help

@fluffybunny86 the test line is meant to be as dark or darker than the control line for it to be a positive

Try again today and see if it gets darker!!

flissity · 17/08/2019 07:53

@fluffybunny86 LH rises (in most cases) later on in the day. I got my positive at 10pm!

@Bezalelle yes so that’s why we have to do it constantly 😂 also my ovulation came are cd10 and my app predicted cd14..

I’m now 4dpo and feeling bloated and rank today, can’t seem to sleep! Hoping it’s a positive thing tho!! Xx

Bezalelle · 17/08/2019 23:11

Fingers crossed for your @Sunflower2019 !

I've tested with OPK four times today Blush and they're definitely getting darker.

@Bezalelle funny you say that, I done one tonight and it still seems quite dark, not positive but darker than last month at 4dpo! Xx

Sunflower2019 · 17/08/2019 23:26

I done it out of interest as can’t test for 5/6 days xx
