OPKs - am I being too impatient?

[Hufflypuf]

Hi

I'm trying to understand if there is a problem with me, with the OPKs I am using, or if my experience is totally normal!

Bit of background info - I'm on cycle 3 of TTC. Came off the pill start of July, had a 33 day cycle, a 40 day cycle and now I'm on day 17 of my current cycle. This is the first month I'm tracking using OPKs.

My flo app tells me I'm due to ovulate in 2 days but I haven't had the progression on my OPKs I would expect. If anything, my LH level seems to have gone down since I started testing on CD10. Is this normal or should I expect a steady rise until ovulation day?

I'm using the cheapest OPKs I could find (Wilko own brand) so I wondered if maybe they're not working properly rather than it being a problem with me?

Picture attached. I'd appreciate any advice

Oh that looks good and your temp has spiked as well which is a good sign!

I am on CD16 and usually ovulate on CD20, I haven't had my peak yet x

@Hufflypuf there's nothing usual about any of my cycles, glad I actually started doing these. 🤞we get those BFPs this time, although a tiny part of me was looking forward to a Xmas I could drink at x

@Kiki275 Wahooo I got my peak this morning - thought it was never coming!!!

@Hufflypuf crikey, what CD does that make you?x

Well I had 4 days of spotting before AF, so if I count that as the start of my cycle then CD 23. If I go from the 1st day of full flow then CD 19

@Hufflypuf bodies are just weird. I think they do it to deliberately keep us in a constant state of worry 🙄. Fingers crossed it goes smoothly from here and you get THE BEST Xmas news x
