OPK peak??

257 replies

Bouncytree · 20/10/2020 12:20

I can’t tell if I have peaked and missed it, or if I am yet to peak.

I was at 40% high one evening...but then back to low levels and fluctuating slightly since then. Back to 0% now. See picture

Could I have peaked overnight and missed it? Is that even possible? Are my LH levels just fluctuating as they go down? if I’m now at 0% does that mean The peak has passed?

Last few cycles testing I got very clear peaks 100-200%. So I am very confused by all this! We have been DTD every two days in case 😅😅😅

Can anyone shed on light on what might be happening? So confused 🤪

OPK peak??

@Rachel93x hope you doing ok. Did AF - arrive?

@Char899 AT due on today! Still not arrived, no cramps today. Though I do feel a bit ‘off’

I’m going to get a more sensitive test I think. Bad idea to test this eve? I’m wondering whether to wait for FMU

@Bouncytree grab a frer and hold your wee for a few hours!

Char899 · 04/11/2020 16:36

Advice please ladies! I’m 4dpo today.. warning tmi... just sat down to go to the loo and had a massive amount of ewcm! Any ideas what’s going on?did I maybe not ovulate and my body is gearing up to try again? It wasn’t clear it was like a whiteish colour but very stretchy just like ewcm?

Rachel93x · 04/11/2020 17:18

@Bouncytree oh I hadn't realised AF was due for you today, hopefully she stays away and if you get a more sensitive test, try it tomorrow morning 🙊

AF for me isn't due until Monday, but I always get spotting a couple of days before so I'll probably know come the weekend if out or not! Only weird thing for me is the dreams I've been having, but I am so tired so maybe it's that!

@Char899 hm, I think I've read that you get it a couple of days after ovulation as well? I don't really get a lot of it so I'm not much help 😭

Bouncytree · 04/11/2020 18:49

@Char899 hmm I’m not sure mine doesn’t tend to come back, but I have heard some others resporting a lot of CM after ovulation, thinking it was a poss PH sign. But if it’s very egg whitey maybe an OPK just to be sure? It did look like you peaked already but you know know.

@Rachel93x fingers crossed it stays away 🤞

Yes AF should have shown today and still no sign or cramps. Got an early test, but always drink tons of water in the evening and was really thirsty, so think it would be a waste tonight. Damn it! I will do it in the morning.

Had a bit of a hot flush in the chemist 😅. Boobs are achy and have Wierd tummy.

Still hanging on in there! It’s agony!!

@Bouncytree @Rachel93x it’s so odd isn’t it? These are my opks post ovulation (if I did ovulate) had a couple of random higher ones today then just now was very low again. I’m just so confused this cycle it seems very messy. I also still have low temps which doesn’t tie in with having ovulated... so frustrating!

OPK peak??
Rachel93x · 04/11/2020 21:47

@Char899 I often go up and down with my sticks but I never get such a peak as I do the week I ovulate 🤔 body are so bloody weird!

@Bouncytree Yes, I can drink 4L a day out of boredom and it's such a night mare for when I decide to test! I have fingers crossed for you..it certainly sounds promising!! 🤞🏻🙊

I've felt VERY sick this evening, but not sure if it was hunger as I had an early lunch we went out this evening for our last bit of freedom! But I just don't feel different, it's just very weird for me not to have cramps this close to AF due!

jessi60 · 04/11/2020 22:07

Sorry haven’t had chance to reply had a nice 7am-9pm shift at work so just got home😂 nothing new to report here.

Fingers crossed for you both @Rachel93x & @Bouncytree ✨✨Xx

Rachel93x · 05/11/2020 09:41

How did you get ob@Bouncytree 🙊🤞🏻

Bouncytree · 05/11/2020 13:55

@Rachel93x BFN this morning in early response test. I think I may have miscounted my dates and today should be AF. But hadn’t showed up yet. I have had mad cramps all day, feel nauseous and nothing! Can’t figure out if this is a really bad AF like I’ve never had before or if I am pregs abs it not showing up. Either way I feel horrific! Struggling to work here

OP posts:
Rachel93x · 05/11/2020 13:58

@Bouncytree I'm sorry to hear you're having a rough time! Fingers crossed you go onto have a BFP!

I've either worked out my dates wrong or AF is making an early show 😫 spotting a started! Onto the next month I go! 🤷🏼‍♀️

jessi60 · 05/11/2020 14:28

Think I’ll be onto this next month with just ovulation testing. Still no period and no positives on any tests 🤷🏻‍♀️ Never mindddd x

Char899 · 05/11/2020 14:47

@Bouncytree sorry to hear that. Fx still crossed for you it’s not over yet!

@Rachel93x what dpo are you? Could it be implantation bleeding?

I’m having a weird one too. I thought I was 5dpo after my peak on cd 14. My temp never spiked so I carried on testing just because I had a niggly feeling that something weird was going on.. especially given I still have ewcm! Sure enough I’ve just got this absolute blinder! I don’t understand! It’s cd20 and I only have a 28-30 day cycle. If I ov tomorrow that’s cd 21 which would mean I’d have a really short literal phase. Proper stressing now but will def bd tonight just incase

OPK peak??
Char899 · 05/11/2020 14:55

*luteal

We havnt bd since cd 15 either because we thought it was over and dh has been working long hours. So we have missed out on the last few days 😡

Rachel93x · 05/11/2020 14:55

@Char899 oh wow, that is a blinder!!! I have 28-35 day cycle day can ovulate day 21 too, which is the day I ovulated this month! May just be having a slightly longer than normal cycle?🤷🏼‍♀️ it's good that you've had such a peak!!

I'm 11 DPO so think it's likely to be to la the for that! It's bizarre as normally have really bad cramps from ovulation to AF but this month I think I've had two days with cramps and haven't got anything now! It's brown spotting atm (sorry for over sharing ahhaha) so expecting it to be AF!

Bouncytree · 05/11/2020 15:10

@Char899 yep that’s an ovulation peak...better get in the baby dance again! Jez you’ve had a rollercoaster. Better keep testing too...just in case. Lucky you kept an eye on it.

But don’t worry!! Today and tomorrow are the best days for BD if that’s your peak.You will be fine. But very sick of DTD 🤣

You may just be a late ovulator. Not everyone ovulates mid cycle and it can vary month to month. Confusing I know!

@Rachel93x is that what AF looks like normally?

@jessi60 when is AF due?

Feeling a little less tough now, Thank god, but still yuk. This cannot be due to my period can it? Anyway no sign of AF Yet. Not sure if I should fork out for another FRER tomorrow. Seems pointless

OP posts:
jessi60 · 05/11/2020 15:26

@Bouncytree I haven’t had one since my implant was out so not a clue 😟 x

Rachel93x · 05/11/2020 15:39

@Bouncytree I'd probably say it's a bit more and earlier than normal but know for sure I'm out 🙈

I'd try it again in a couple of days! I was looking online earlier at latest BFP days (can you tell ive had a boring work day 😂) and some are 16DPO and 4 days late etc! So you're not out until AF shows!

Char899 · 05/11/2020 16:24

@Rachel93x ah that’s so annoying! Damn af! Fx for next month. Are you going to look into temping? It’s really easy and that’s how I knew I didn’t ovulate when my opk made out I would

@Bouncytree yep! such a rollercoaster! so glad I carried on testing. I’ve already warned dh I’ll be pouncing when he gets home! My only worry is if I now have a 7-9 day luteal phase there’s no way I’ll get pg. hopefully a longer cycle! Never had this with ds, it’s so stressful!
Knowing me I’d go and get another frer but I’m an addict and simply can’t help myself 😂 hint hint (do it)

Rachel93x · 05/11/2020 16:36

@Char899 I think I might! I read it's gotta be done first first first thing in the morning, around the same time! Is there a particular thermometer I need?🙈

Char899 · 05/11/2020 17:22

@Rachel93x yeah just look on Amazon for a basal body thermometer. (BBT) It’s more accurate as is to 2 decimal points whereas a normal one is 1 decimal point. I set an alarm for 6, stick it in my mouth and go back to sleep. If ds lets me.. haha

Bouncytree · 06/11/2020 08:04

@jessi60 ah yes I see. That’s always so tough, you just don’t know where you are. Very confusing.

Sorry to hear AF showing her face @Rachel93x! Any month another shot. Get a good rest in now before the sexathon! It’s always nice to stop being obsessed for a few days...but then the ovulation obsession starts!

@Char899 ovulation varies from month to month, so this may not be your regular pattern.lets wait and see the pattern next month. Fingers crossed it evens out a bit.

Still no AF today, BFN with FMU. In my head I’m flipping widely thinking I must be PG to don’t be silly...but then what’s the explanation. 🤷‍♀️ And then what’s causing the awful cramps and nausea. This is a strange month!

OP posts:
Char899 · 06/11/2020 12:37

@Bouncytree did you use a frer? How late are you now? Any other symptoms? Sounds like we are all having an odd month this month! Fx for everyone that we get our bfps soon x

Rachel93x · 06/11/2020 12:49

Odd month alright, this spotting is doing my head in 🙃😂 it's like, SO faint and only when I wipe (again, sorry for over sharing haha) I'd rather just get this period over and done with so we can start on those famous OPK's again!

Char899 · 06/11/2020 12:57

@Rachel93x have you taken another test just to be sure?
