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??

I haven't taken any 🙈 but I'm pretty sure last month when I had a chemical, I was spotting 3 days before AF arrived! Maybe if it's not full swing come Tuesday (AF is due Monday) I'll maybe do a test to be certain! It's just really weird that I don't have any cramping, which I normally get really bad during this part of my cycle 🤷🏼‍♀️

Have your OPK's gone back down now?xx

Char899 · 06/11/2020 13:23

@Rachel93x You haven't taken a test? Oh my god the willpower! Take one take one!

Yeah they will still high this morning (so that’s promising) and are starting to come down now!

OPK peak??
Rachel93x · 06/11/2020 13:34

@Char899 That's exactly how mine was this cycle!! So hope you've had the chance to DTD 🙈😂

I know, I've done the whole POAS from 5DPO, then had positives 9DPO-11DPO and ended in an early miscarriage/chemical pregnancy so had I not tested so early, I'd of been none the wiser & not got so stressed! Although, I knew as soon as I mentioned it being so light and faint on here, it would become heavier..low and behold, it has 😂

jessi60 · 06/11/2020 14:09

Well Af has started today. 27 days exactly since my withdrawal bleed after the implant. Was actually very pleased as I now know I’ve had a period! Wahoo! X

jessi60 · 06/11/2020 14:10

@Char899 I know a few people who’s ovulation tests have been really positive and it turns out their pregnant! Exciting !! Xx

Char899 · 06/11/2020 14:26

@Rachel93x ahh damn af! On to the next cycle! 🤞🏼🤞🏼 Did you order a thermometer in the end?

@jessi60 yay! I was the same when I got my period after I came off the pill I was so excited! Haha! Oh I wish but sadly Im pretty sure I’m just having an off month and ovulating late!

Rachel93x · 06/11/2020 14:34

@Char899 no, but you've just reminded me too!! Im going to after work 🙌🏼

@jessi60 oh yay, that's super promising that your cycle has returned back normal!!xx

Char899 · 06/11/2020 14:35

Arghh I have really achy ovaries. Feel like utter rubbish this afternoon. Hope ds stays asleep for a little longer think I need a cuppa and some chocolate before I have to find the energy to DTD later 😂

jessi60 · 06/11/2020 14:38

@Rachel93x @Char899 I know haha would of rather been pregnant though but never mind it’s a start!

When’s best to start ovulation tests again? Once af stops? See I was doing them daily up to now with not knowing what is going on but take it I don’t have to whilst this is ongoing x

Char899 · 06/11/2020 14:39

@Rachel93x yeah if you get one ASAP you can use it for this cycle because your supposed to start right at the beginning!

Char899 · 06/11/2020 14:40

@jessi60 I had no idea when I ovulate (still don’t) so I started on cd5 once af had buggered off!

Rachel93x · 06/11/2020 14:40

@Char899 oh I'll do next day delivery on Amazon! I finish at 3 as well so I'll catch delivery for tomorrow 🙊

@jessi60 do one a day after the end of your period, until day 12 maybe start doing 2 as likely to ovulate about day 14 if you have 28 day cycles xx

jessi60 · 06/11/2020 14:42

No problem. Thanks a lot girls xx

Char899 · 06/11/2020 15:16

Do any of you ladies get ovulation pain? I’ve never had it before but this afternoon I’m bent over! I hope that’s not a bad sign x

Rachel93x · 06/11/2020 16:12

@Char899 I'm pretty sure I had a pain in my right side this month! I do also get awful trapped wind 🤫

Nhs say this 'Ovulation pain is often normal and just another side effect linked with periods' so nothing to worry about x

Char899 · 06/11/2020 16:15

@Rachel93x thank you, seems to be wearing off now. Sure I’ve never had that before. I’m wondering now if maybe I didn’t ovulate the last two cycles since coming off the pill, I feel different this month for some reason!

Rachel93x · 06/11/2020 16:32

@Char899 it may be! My cycle was a bit off when I first came off, I wasn't TTC but I remember panicking it was 10 days late 😂

Bouncytree · 07/11/2020 11:14

I’ve missed so much! Sorry had a hectic couple of days.

@Rachel93x are you still spotting? I get trapped wind too 🤣 💨

@jessi60 it’s such a relief to get your cycle back isn’t it. Just to know your dates gives you some kind of certainty.

@Char899 I often wondered about ovulation pain because I never had. Interesting you had it this month. And will be useful if it carries on for a bit because you will know when it’s happening.Yes I imagine your cycle is settling after Coming off. Great you are getting to know your signs.

Still no period and bfn here. 🤷‍♀️ I thought I could see the faintest of faint lines this morning. But don’t think it shows up on photo? My husband could see it but only when I pointed it out so many I’m just driving myself crazy. 😜

It’s not even in desperation to be pregnant at this point, just to know what’s going on!

@Bouncytree oh how annoying for you! Sometimes you’d just rather af showed so you could stop driving yourself crazy don’t you! How many days late are you now?

Bouncytree · 07/11/2020 23:15

Thanks @Char899 How are you doing?

AF should have been here Thursday, so 3rd day late today. Feeling nauseous again tonight, and had a faint metallic taste in my mouth which is stronger tonight...it’s all starting to get a bit suspicious 🤔.

My period is never late. But Afraid to hope!

jessi60 · 07/11/2020 23:35

@Bouncytree yeah it’s a relief just hoping it doesn’t go on too long and I stay on a 28 day cycle 🤞🏼 Think I’ve took it for granted not having periods. Literally have barely had them for 10 years and I’m suffering with back pain. Literally laid here with a hot water bottle 😂 works killing me and I’m back tomorrow morning and then into four night shifts🥺

Ahh exciting that your late though. Keep us updated!! Xx

Rachel93x · 08/11/2020 01:07

AF is in fullll swing now, which is good to know my cycle has returned back to normal after last month!

@Bouncytree omg that's certainly a good sign about the metallic taste, hoping you go onto having a BFP and the dreadful AF doesn't show her ugly face! I've read recently people not getting positives till like a week late!? Everything crossed that's the case for you also!

@jessi60 oh no, period pains are the worst! I normally realllllyyyy suffer with them to the point they can make me sick, but this month I haven't had any pains which is kind of really nice! Hopefully it's just this month after 10 years of not having regular! Hope it becomes easier for you! Xx

How are you feeling @Char899? Are you officially in the two week wait?🙊

Char899 · 08/11/2020 08:48

@Bouncytree that does definitely sound promising! Certainly got some symptoms there! Keep us updated on your next test! Could you have ovulated a little later perhaps and it’s just not strong enough to show yet? I’m guessing not as you were using opks but you never know!

@jessi60 I was the same aswell, suddenly suffering with period pains I’ve nit had in years. Hopefully it’s just your body getting back into the swing of things and hopefully they’ll start to calm down! Chocolate tea and hot water bottles for you! Definitely don’t envy you on the night shifts :(

@Rachel93x good news about af getting you back on track! yes I’m in the tww for real this time! (Confirmed by a temp rise - finally) 2dpo today. It’s going to be a long wait given I thought I’d started it a week ago!! 😂🤦🏼‍♀️

Positivevibesttc · 08/11/2020 11:08

This is exactly what happens to me, especially this month. I have a mini peak cd 9 then it goes away and shoots up day 14/15 :) best of luck i know its a frustrating waiting game!

jessi60 · 08/11/2020 18:28

Thanks girls!
Well my bleeding has now vanished after 3 days. Strange! Xx
