Ovulation

[Daniellemumtologan]

I'm on day 14 on my cycle and today my ovulation test is negative but yesterday it was positive a strong positive!!
So we got down to it on day 13 (yesterday) as it was a strong positive but today as it's negative today does this mean It wouldn't still ovulate if I got caught on day 13??

I think once you ovulate, it shows as negative as the surge is over. I'm new to trying to conceive though so I may be wrong. So fingers crossed you did!

Ohh thanks you, I think I must of ovulated early like day 12/13 then I was under the impression that you didn’t ovulate till day 15 as that is what my app says. Maybe I need to take a ovulation test a few months earlier I’d this hasn’t worked for us this time.
I had a early misscarriage in August last year and this is the first time we have actively tried since. I feel like it’s all I think about I really need to relax about it all.
I’m taking my folic acid and vitamins I’ve quit smoking and I’m trying to eat more healthier.

But then I get anxious about the fact I’m trying to conceive whilst we are in an epidemic😟then I feel quirty! It’s jist so emotional all of this.

The LH surge comes 24-36 hours before you ovulate. So if you got a surge yesterday you’ll ovulate today or possibly tomorrow. You want to be having sex in the days running up to ovulation so the sperm is there waiting, you’re not aiming to DTD on the actual ovulation day necessarily (but doesn’t hurt to do so)

Women are all different and will ovulate on different days. 14-15 are average so that’s what an app will suggest if it has no other data. I have a very regular cycle of 28 days, but after 2 years tracking I can see I’ve ovulated as early as CD12 and as late as CD18, though it’s usually day 14. Other women are much less regular. This is why you want to start doing OPKs from about day 8 of your cycle, unless your cycle is very short.

It can take a few months of tracking to see what your personal patterns are.

Plus your surge can be for literally a couple of hours so can be positive one day and negative the next. Test 2-3 times over the afternoon and evening if you can

Hope you don't mind me jumping on! I had a period on 3rd April, missed my pills on 16th and 17th (mini pill) and my ovulation test was almost blank yesterday. Today it's darker although I know it's not a positive yet. Is this a sign I'm ovulating or should I have already ovulated?? Does anyone know if my pill will have made me ovulate late?
