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??

Good luck 🤞 I hope you get some good news real soon.

I got another flashing smiley face on clearblue this morning cd12 🙈. I would love some good news before Christmas.

[quote Pollyell]**@bouncytree* thank you for asking. I got premom app as advised by @rachel93x* (thanks! I'm doing SMEP too btw). I plugged my tests in retrospectively and it thinks my peak was day 20. Which makes sense as I had a gripping tight pelvic pain yesterday evening. Think I'll still DTD a few times if DP isn't too exhausted!![/quote]
Your tests seem old and the color of the T/C lines changed totally. In this case, the app may read the tests wrongly and I'd recommend you take picture of the result during the reading time frame.

Pollyell · 22/11/2020 17:16

Thanks @alisont13, will do that next time. I only got premom app well into my cycle. Have had stark negatives last 4 days which I took to mean that was probably my peak. Will soon find out!

Bouncytree · 22/11/2020 23:03

Lol @Rachel93x you just could resist 🤣🤣🤣 I guess if your doing Every other day u don’t need to. But there is something satisfying about getting some kind of positive in a month I think.When are you due AF?

2po here are trying to symptom spot but there’s nothing going on. Does wind count? Lol I don’t think do and also tmi 🤣 lol we’ve gotta try and get our TTC kicks 😆

@Bouncytree I know, it's certainly nice to know everything is going in the right direction 😂

I'm going to say 2 weeks time going by the positive OPK I've just had?! I'll keep testing again this evening & then again tomorrow!

How are you getting on with the TWW?? Hope you're not stressing yourself out too much!!🙊

OPK peak??
Char899 · 25/11/2020 08:59

How are all you lovely ladies doing?
@Bouncytree how’s the tww? What dpo are you now? Any symptom spotting?
@Rachel93x are you in the tww now? I’m guessing so going by your opks!

Rachel93x · 25/11/2020 19:00

@Char899 I'm good, how are you doing? How are you feeling?🥰

I think I'm 1DPO, although still high readings so likely to be ovulating today at some point 🤷🏼‍♀️😂 who knows anymore! But DTD as much as possible!

Char899 · 25/11/2020 19:32

@Rachel93x ah let the tww begin! Fx for your Christmas bfp!! You feeling positive?
I’m all good thank you. Booked a private scan for 19th December so hopefully we can catch a glimpse of the little bean before Xmas! I’m feeling pretty anxious. I remember I was with ds too. You go from worrying about getting a bfp to then worrying about everything afterwards 🤦🏼‍♀️

Rachel93x · 25/11/2020 19:44

I'm not sure really, I've tried to keep busy and not really think about it 🤷🏼‍♀️ aww how exciting!! How many week will you be then? Yeah I can imagine!!

Char899 · 25/11/2020 21:33

@Rachel93x I’ll be 8ish weeks so fx I’ll be able to hear the heartbeat and get a little peak!

Rachel93x · 26/11/2020 11:39

@Char899

Eek fingers crossed! When we got pregnant last time, my friend is a private scanner and offered us one at 7 weeks as that's when there's normally a heartbeat, of course didn't work out but 8 weeks will be a lovely time and the best Christmas present for you all 🥰

How are you ladies doing @Bouncytree @Pollyell @jessi60 ?

Also need some advice...
So my dr just called and said I've been called for a colonoscopy after family history, I've been asking for one for the last 2 years since I turned 25 and have always been refused. So now that I've be called, I'm not sure if we hold off on the TTC so I can have that done - I know it's safe when pregnant but it's just more for myself feeling more positive about it being done with the results etc! Imagine being pregnant and getting bad news about the big C word 😬 undecided now!!

gln1989 · 02/12/2020 12:44

@bouncytree

I am currently 9dpo did the deed every other day during fertile window but day before and day of ovulation.

The wait is killing me so i took a test this morning but got a bfn so i am going to test again on Saturday which would be 12dpo but i am so nervous that i might just wait until af due on tuesday.

Will keep you updated. Good luck x

Char899 · 02/12/2020 19:00

@Bouncytree @Rachel93x how are you both?? Have either of you tested yet? You must be getting close to the end of the tww now?

Bouncytree · 03/12/2020 08:27

Hi everyone! Sorry I’ve had a work deadline and urs been mad so sorry for lack on contact.

@Char899 thanks for thinking of us 🥰 how are you feeling? It always feels a bit edgey till that scan and then hopefully you can relax.

Hmm @Rachel93x how are you doing? yes I see the dilemma. If it’s just precautionary And you don’t have another other symptoms maybe you don’t need to worry about bad news? But if you think it’s going to stress you out, by all means wait, you are young and have plenty of time. I suppose how long it will take to get referred might be a factor for you also.

@gln1989 sorry to hear about bfn and the stress of waiting. It is a killer isn’t it! Same thing every month, so hard to take your mind off it. Fingers crossed for you 🤞🤞🤞 really hope it’s your month

13 dpo here today. Have had cramps and one bout of nausea...but I had that last month so I think it might be AF on the way....at least I know I wasn’t crazy last month and imaging symptoms, it looks like this is how my PMS is after the MC. Though of course I am secretly hoping it is implantation cramping. I really wanted to test yesterday but couldn’t get my hands on an early test...also don’t want to kick in the guts BFN. AF tomorrow or Sat....here’s hoping!

Rachel93x · 03/12/2020 09:05

@Char899 I'm 8DPO & I have ZERO symptoms?! Like, not even my standard PMS sore boobs & cramps! So looks like I'll be out this month! How are you feeling?

@Bouncytree It's a hard one, because let's face it with covid going on it's likely to be a few months, maybe even 6 months before the referral! No symptoms, but 3 relatives under 50 have had it & passed away so it's just precaution. Maybe there's not harm in TTC until I get the appointment letter and if were are luckily enough to get a BFP then can decide about the appointment or delaying it!

I also normally get allll those symptoms before PMS too, only since TTC & even had them the month I got the BFP so definitely could be a positive, I have my fingers crossed for you! Also, well done for not testing yet and being 13DPO, that's pretty good going..I think I might cave this month and test at 10DPO!

Bouncytree · 03/12/2020 13:14

Oh @Rachel93x if I had a test yesterday I totally would have tested!! I’m very tempted 😬😬😬 Wondering if a no early response Would show up at 13 dpo 🤔🤣

OP posts:
Rachel93x · 03/12/2020 13:25

@Bouncytree I being 13 DPO and AF due really soon I think it would 🙊

Char899 · 03/12/2020 13:31

@Bouncytree I’m not going to encourage you but I did get a clear line on a 25miu ic at 13dpo...

I’m not saying you should test though...

WicketBasket · 03/12/2020 13:54

Hello everyone!

Wondering if I can join and ask a silly question about OPK’S.

I’ve just started with the easy@home tests, logging via the Premom app. Was CD10 yesterday after a long period and just started testing yesterday after AF finishing on Tuesday. My LH today is lower than it was yesterday? I thought it was supposed to increase? This has worried me!

Can anyone help? Sorry if I’m being silly but any advice would be appreciated xx

OPK peak??
Rachel93x · 03/12/2020 14:23

@WicketBasket Hello! It's certainly not a silly question, we've all been confused and frustrated by it as well!

Between now and your peak you'll have it go up and down, so it's perfectly normally and nothing to worry about 😀

Here's a photo of mine last month and it was very up and down, my peak wasn't until CD21 (although I thought CD15 was!) as I have 35 day cycles! Xx

OPK peak??
WicketBasket · 03/12/2020 14:39

Aww thanks @Rachel93x! I see what you mean, your chart is really helpful Smile You’ve got lovely strong lines on there too! I’m still getting my head around all of this so slightly panicked Grin when I saw things getting lighter not darker! Do you think it’s better to test twice a day, rather than once?

You’re like me, 35day cycles! Let’s see how we get on Flowers xx

Char899 · 03/12/2020 14:56

@Rachel93x who knows! If you normally have symptoms pre af and this time you have none maybe it’s a good sign! Fx 🤞🏼

Bouncytree · 03/12/2020 16:53

Welcome @WicketBasket! Your lines will get strong soon but it’s easy to panic they won’t When you first start testing.

Of course I tested! And BFN...I’m thinking it’s AF now

@Rachel93x I agree with @Char899 no AF symptoms....is potential good news 😆

OP posts:
WicketBasket · 03/12/2020 20:27

Thank you @Bouncytree! Nice to have some reassurance and know that I’m not just going mad Grin

sorry about your BFN but it isn’t over until AF shows up! Fingers crossed for you Flowers xxx

It is normal for LH to fluctuate. Please keep testing to look for your LH peak. Also, your easy@home tests should be uploaded to the easy@home tab, not the premom tab. The premom tab is only for the Premom quantitative tests.
