Need some opk advice... see pic!

[Sunflower2019]

Would of normally ovulated by now but had a dark opk on the 9th... but not positive and have since been testing and still all negative... starting to worry as I’ve either missed it or not ovulated? Last couple of days, I’ve been feeling wet down below, cramps and sore breasts, took an opk (my last one) last night and still a line but not dark enough for positive!

Now I’ve confused my cycle.... here is my opks from this month...

Currently on CD15 by my Premom app.. period due around 20th of the month! Xx

Id say your positive was cycle day 10. It can stay dark for a couple of days after or for some people right till your AF. Have you thought about getting the clear blue ones to work alongside these to confirm ovulation? I know there more expensive but so much easier.

@Nic555 thanks! Yes I have thought about it, I’m thinking for next cycle if this one hasn’t been successful, first month I’ve had trouble with these opks, normally get a blazing positive 😫 x

When I had the cheaper ones mine were never darker than cycle day 10 and confirmed with a clear blue as high fertility x

Looks like CD10 to me. Don't worry about it not being really high, it might just be the time of day that you tested.

I'm using Premom and caught my peak by fluke (not the time I usually test) but it dropped rapidly over the next 2 hours...

@30somethingandtired thank you! Prob missed my positive but I dtd 9,10,11,12 so 🤞 xx

Good luck @Sunflower2019

I’m having some cramps tonight sore boobs and clear cm... lots of it! Have run out of opks tho 🤦🏽‍♀️

any ideas?

@30somethingandtired @Nic555

Think I'm about the same DPO as you. I stopped OPKs after peak as it seemed a bit pointless 🤷‍♀️

I had mild cramps this morning, super tired this afternoon, bloated tonight. Clear CM for a couple of days.

I think for either of us it could potentially be implantation or just usual pre-menstrual. Don't know about you, but for me a busy week in work means exhaustion is also on the list of possible causes.

It's so hard not to symptom-spot. The waiting game is rubbish.

@30somethingandtired oh thank god you are feeling the same I’m feeling exhausted, admittedly busy week at work but my af wasn’t that long ago so can’t be that.. but cramps are that bad feels like af we will see xxx

@Sunflower2019 what DPO are you now? I'd say you've definitely ovulated already so potential implantation. I don't normally get any pains before AF. Sometimes get a bit of creamy CF which dries up a day before AF arrives. It's so hard not to symptom spot isn't it x

@Nic555 I have no clue as I didn’t have a high or peak opk it’s saying ovulation in one day 🤦🏽‍♀️ I’ve ordered a clue blue so I’ll see if that’s saying different when my amazon order comes x

@Sunflower2019 I don't use the app you have. So when I did my cheap OPK I'd just go off when it was darker than other days and always timed well with AF arrival. Honestly you'll love the clear blue ones. You can use your FMU so not holding it in and then u can chill for the rest of the day not trying to spot ovulation symptoms. It made me so much more chilled out. Plus with the new ones you can get four or more days notice so can really time BD properly. Worth the extra money x

So I tested yesterday and there wasn’t a smiley so thinking I must of ovulated earlier than my app expected xx

@Sunflower2019 I hope the TWW goes fast for you. Fingers crossed for your BFP x

@Nic555 how are you getting on? X

@30somethingandtired How are you getting on? X

Hi @Sunflower2019 I'm ok thanks, 9DPO now. I had a BFN yesterday but it was way too early really. Have avoided testing today, going to give it another day or two then try again. How are you feeling?

@30somethingandtired Hey, oh sorry to hear that! Same with me, bfn. I’m feeling fine, different to my last months, only sore boobs and some cramps but seem to have this regularly Anyway! I think our afs must be due similar times.. so a few days to go as yet.. anything could happen! X

@Sunflower2019 I'm feeling good thanks AF has left so feel more positive. I'm only cd5 ovulated day 21 last cycle so hopefully be in my fertile week soon. Just praying my cycle is shorter again this month. Don't want to ovulate late like cycle 2 which was day 32 and awful.

How are we all doing ladies?

I'm 11DPO now. AF due Monday or Tuesday. Been feeling nauseous and tired for the last few days but there's assorts of bugs going round work so could just be that.

I've done 3 tests so far. All looking negative, I think. I know I should just wait until AF due date but I'll probably test again tomorrow. POAS has become a bit addictive.

@30somethingandtired im 11dpo too due AF monday and im currently testing BFN. Have lots of symptoms AF is on her way feel bloated swollen tired headaches and sore boobs so i think im out for this month .... however its still early with my youngest son (age 10) i had BFN tests until AF was a week late!! So dont give up good luck !

I poas and this happened!!

@30somethingandtired omg!!!! Wow! You must be over the moon 💕 how many dpo are you? Same as me aren’t you? That’s amazing! Have you been trying for long?!!! Xxx

@Lizziejayne13 welcome! How are you today? I’m the same dpo as you both! I feel I’m out as didn’t get my true positive opk! :( been doing opks to try stop me from poas and all been negative so thinking af will arrive soon xx

@Nic555 how did your fertile week go? Xx
