Bloody OPKs — please help :(

[2020fingerscrossed]

This is as dark as my OPKs get. Is there something wrong with me?? I know I have endo but I’ve done OPKs in the past when ttc and always ovulated just fine, but recently they’re just this at the most?? So frustrated I just want some hope

What about trying the Clearblue? The ones that check for estrogen and LH. At least that way there's no puzzling at lines and it's very clear.

Are you breastfeeding or anything that might stop ovulation?

When are you testing? Sometimes you can peak really quickly and miss the surge (within hours). You should really test twice a day, especially in the afternoon. I've found some months mine don't get as dark as the control line and some months they are a lot darker. Some months you may not ovulate at all, that is quite common and a lot of women get it but doesn't mean you aren't ovulating every month. You may want to try temping as well to see if you have a temp spike to confirm ovulation along with the OPKs.

They only ever got about that dark for me and here I am with 6mo DD, so something must have been happening!

So I’m testing twice a day. Usually early afternoon then evening or morning and night depending on my shifts. No hormonal changes, nothing new. I just feel really gutted every time I do it.

@ThePurpleMoose that’s reassuring to hear! My cousin had the same but I’m guessing those aren’t common occurrences
