OPK peak??

[Bouncytree]

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 🤪

After all that...bloody AF has arrived! She has been Playing tricks on me. I ovulated late and maybe that just pushed AF forward. Few days. I really felt gross and what were those 6 days of cramps about 🤷‍♀️

Anyway mystery solved at least I suppose. Gutted when I went to test. But over it now. Back on the baby dance train 🚂🤣

@Char899 you are our hope for this month 🤞glad you are finally past ovulation and I to the TWW.

A@jessi60 my AF is only 3 days. I imagine though it might take a cycle or two to settle. As long as your ovulating you should be fine to get PG.

@Rachel93x are you back doing opks at this point?

@Bouncytree oh I'm sorry to hear AF has arrived, but positive thinking and onto the next cycle 🤩

I'll start once AF has gone away, probably by about Wednesday, although after the loss last month my period was very light and I feel like I'm being punished this month but I've it to be thankful I'm not getting the cramping!

@Bouncytree oh no!! I was convinced this was your month with af being late and all your symptoms! Fx for you and @Rachel93x for this cycle x

How are you lovely ladies doing?

@Rachel93x Hey I’m doing good thank you are you?
My period lasted 5 days in the end and finished yesterday, think I had 5 day periods pre hormonal contraception of what I can remember. So cycle day 6 today! Been kept busy with work. On a run of night shifts at the minute. Just wondering when to start ovulation testing. Hope your doing ok?

@Rachel93x all good thank you! 5dpo today, so far no symptoms other than being tired but I think I’ll put that down to ds! How are you? Af been and gone now? All ready for this cycle? Did you get a thermometer in the end?

@jessi60 I’d say start doing 1 a day now. How long are your cycles? If it’s 28 days I’d say start doing 2 a day from cd 10ish so you don’t miss anything :) I was doing 3 a day at one point lol

@Bouncytree how are you? Af still with you?

@jessi60 oh 5 days is good, mine are normally 5 days and if I count from when it was a proper period and not spotting, that's today but I think I will stop tomorrow! Now onto the OPK, is do from CD10 twice a day (always better in the afternoon) and when they begin to get darker I'd do 3 times a day until you reach your peak!xx

@Char899 AF should depart by tomorrow hopefully! I didn't, my partner said I get so stressed with OPK, why add something else into the mix so didn't order it (yet!) - So, I'm not even doing OPK's this month, I'm just going to make sure we DTD every other day and just try to relax about it until maybe end of January and I'll get thermometer from then and back to the OPK if my cycle isn't normal - I can tell when I ovulate based on the pain in my boobs so I'll know when it's happened & normally CD21 anyway! How are you finding the TWW? It's good you've got our son already so you know what to look out for etc, although I know each pregnancy can be different! FX you get your BFP 🤩

@Rachel93x I totally get that, it’s much better to try and be relaxed about it, no need to add more stress! I actually feel a little more relaxed this month for some reason, just taking the approach of what will be will be and concentrating on ds! Tww is dreadful as always though, but 6dpo tomorrow so getting there slowly lol

How’s everyone doing today? Any exciting updates from anyone?

@Rachel93x@Char899 yeah 28 days. I started yesterday and done one today but obviously negative. CD 8 today. Nothing new to report, plodding along. Hope yous are doing okay X

@Char899 AF had finally buggered off, so back to DTD 😂

How's things for you?

Oh I'm CD8 aswell @jessi60 - I'm trying to stay away this month and just going not stress myself out until after Xmas (I say this hahaha) xx

@Rachel93x how long are your cycles normally? I’m only doing them so I have an idea if I even ovulate as it was my first period since my implant so I’m more intrigued at the minute 😂 xx

@Rachel93x isn’t it funny how we end up like DTD is some kind of chore to tick off the list 😂
@jessi60 I was the same I had no clue when I ovulated and so glad I did the opks this month or I would have missed it after having 3 separate surges days apart!

I’m seriously symptom spotting today! Had the weirdest dream last night, had af type cramps this afternoon (a little lighter than normal ones) I’ve had a thumping headache this afternoon, I’m gassy and I’m constipated (sorry tmi) haha it’s so annoying because all those things can be linked to af too! 8dpo tomorrow and I have to stop myself somehow from testing early!

@Char899 With the three separate surges.. do you not know when you actually ovulated then? X

@jessi60 yes I’m temping so that confirmed ov for me :) that’s why I carried on doing the opks, my temp didn’t rise after the surges which I put down to my body trying to ovulate but not actually ovulating. Temp spiked after the last surge which was 6 days after the previous one!

Ahh okay. I could never do the temperatures with doing a mix of day and night shifts 🙃x

@Char899 I really feel like it is a chore 🤣 eeek, when do you plan on testing?

@Rachel93x I’m going to try and hold out until Monday, I’ll be 10 dpo! If af doesn’t come first that is!

Guys I think I just got my bfp!!!

@Char899 OH MY GOD I AM SOOOO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!! 🎉🎉🎉 a huge congratulations!!!!!

Ahh thank you @Rachel93x!! I am still in shock! So happy x

Hi everyone sorry I didn’t realise how much I needed a mental break from TTC.

@Char899 OMG!!!! That’s amazing 🎉🎉🎉 absolutely delighted for you! How are you feeling??

How ya everyone doing @Rachel93x and @jessi60?

CD 10 here and starting to think about DTD

@Bouncytree I’m CD 12 today. Still low on ovulation tests, haven’t done one today yet though. Dtd twice on Saturday, missed Sunday and then dtd last night. My app has said high fertility on them days even though my ovulation tests were low, I think it’s just there’s a chance the sperm can hang around abit until I ovulate🤣 Won’t be able to dtd today as I don’t get in from work until stupid o clock but will try on Wednesday 🤞🏼 X

@Char899 eeeeek congrats! That’s amazing 🥳🥰 Xx

@Bouncytree ah thank you ☺️ yeah feeling ok, little bit nauseous today and have been a little bit crampy on and off. I just wish I hadn’t tested so early because now I’ve gone from the worry of Am I pregnant to the worry of is it going to stick! Lol want to see the tests keep getting darker. I’ll do another later this afternoon after a 3-4 hour hold (if I can haha)
How are you feeling? Little break do you some good?
@jessi60 thank you ☺️
