Ovulation?

I’m going the blind route this month, so not OPKing, haven’t checked on my apps to see AF due date or OV date. Not sure what day I am on either!

However I had some low down left cramping yesterday and wet CM, so think I OVd yesterday afternoon.

One thing I noticed yesterday was I had to pee loads, anyone else found this?

I have the exact same as you when it comes to the time of ovulation. Always a slight cramping in my lower left side and I've pee'd so much today!
I did an opk which can back negative but it wasn't fmu and I just had drunk a lot of Irn bru so not sure if it was accurate or not.

I'm getting blood work done in a weeks time to see if I actually have ovulated. I've had positive opks before but we are in the process of getting checks as it's been a long time ttc. Im always worried that I'm not actually ovulating or there is something wrong :(

I get really light periods that only last for about three days, four max. First/second day is the heaviest (but even still not that heavy) and the next couple days it's only when I wipe (sorry tmi). It's all very confusing.

@willithappen you’re not supposed to do OPKs with FMU. I always test between 6pm and 9pm (except this month of course!).

Was your OPK stark or did it have a line at all? I found my OPKs were stark almost a couple of days after a peak and tended to OV around 24 hours after the peak.

I’m abstaining from counting the days now, I just know I can test on the 21st as know this is a few days to a week after AF due. I won’t know if I’ve had a chemical again or seen a faint line and started AF by that point. X

Ah I could have sworn the instructions said fmu for testing! I did fmu last month and got positives the day I ovulated (hopefully ovulated, period 14 days after this day also)

I'll maybe try another one again tonight and see. My cycles have been between 27 and 28 days long. If I'm on a 27 day cycle then I think I should have ovulated today but tomorrow if 28 day.

Noticing the peeing a lot more thing since reading your post too!

Wishing you lots of luck! Hopefully you get your BFP soon. I think it's down to IVF route for us (didn't mention previously but my OH has low morphology results back from his testing - I just need to do my testing before they will do anything further about his results)
