Positive Opk???

My app said that I was supposed to be ovulating yesterday. My only possible ovulation symptom could be spotting as I did have a small amount of blood around 2 hours after sex when I went to the loo!

These are the three opks I took over Saturday, Sunday and today. Does it look like I ovulated yesterday? I know that it says that the line is meant to be as dark or darker than the control line, but my opks last week were all steadily building up in colour and since yesterday they seem to be decreasing again?

This is my first cycle trying these so I don't know! Could it be that I just have lower Lh? These tests come with an app which reads them for you so I know for a fact that yesterdays is the highest one I've had.

The middle one is from Sunday!

Hi OP, opks can be so tricky. You can miss the LH surge of you are just testing once a day, especially if you are testing in the morning as the surge tends to be in the PM.
So you might have ovulated, but it's hard to tell - are you using bbt too? A sustained increase in bbt should confirm

Well, The one I took on Saturday I took in the morning but then I took the Sunday one at 5pm. Could it be that I had the surge Saturday evening so this is just indicating the leftovers? I mean, I'm in my fertile time anyway, and I did have a sharp pain on my left on Saturday evening? I really hope that this is it this month. I had a miscarriage at 7 weeks a few months ago and I desperately just want to be pregnant.

Thankyou for taking the time to reply!

I think that is likely. My understanding is that they are best to do in the early afternoon but then the clear blue ones say fmu so that advice obviously varies. The consensus on MN seems to be that the normal LH tests need taking several times a day around the peak in order to catch it.
Good luck with your journey, it is extra difficult after a loss xxx
