So I had been using wilko own brand ovulation tests. Did one this morning got 0.31 low. I ordered some of the easy at home ones when someone pointed out my strips were abit blurry looking, they’ve just came so I’ve done one and this is the result 🧐 x

@jessi60 YASSSSS 🥳🥳 have you put it in the easy at home tab too? That looks like it's almost as dark?? Xx

@DrS44 Yeah it’s in the right section. I’ve tried loads of different photos and scanned them in cause I thought it would be higher but was still only getting 0.64😂 x

@jessi60 when did you wee last and had you anything else to drink? That's till high - it might peak in the morning if you've not missed it! Get into that bedroom 💃🏼😅 xxx

It’s maybe a touch lighter than the control but 0.64 is the highest am getting🤣

@DrS44 Well my first wee or the day was only like 11am cause I was holding it in until my clear blue came. And then this was my second wee or the day😂 but the wee was still quite dark. We dtd last night. Will try today but think my partner is ready to keel over 🤣🤣 x

@DrS44 nope didn't feel anything really until further along. My only symptom was feeling sick when I drunk from about 6DPO

@jessi60 tell him he can have next weekend 🤣 the numbers really don't matter much. I got something similar and then next morning it was high.. when you peak ovulation happens 12-36 hours after so it's a pretty small window! Good that you've done it already but worth again today and tomorrow, ideally Saturday too 🤣🤣 xxx

@AMS19 hmmm it's stopped again now... strange... my nipples are still tender so many it's just ovulation calming down 🤷🏼‍♀️ who knows! I'll be having a drink this weekend for sure 🥳🥂

@DrS44 Haha last night I said this is not going to be forever you know every single day 😂 this was because I was going off my fertile week in the app so started on Saturday haha, but been doing it every other day.
Think it’s just hard when you work long hours and are up early and some nights you do just want to relax and chill out but needs must 🤣 I said to him if this approach doesn’t work in the next couple of months then we will just relax it and just dtd when it happens naturally and what will be will be. Xx

Just went to open my back door and this was just lying on the door mat. It’s freaked me right out. It’s a stork with a baby 😂

@jessi60 ahhhh look at that! That looks like an excellent line! Premom will only give you a peak when the percentage starts getting lower again so if you got 0.5 tomorrow let's say, premom will tell you that this OPK was your peak. It might go up a bit more though why don't you try again in a few hours? (You might not want to literally piss away your money of course but as a POAS addict I would def be testing again in a few hours 😂)

@jessi60 omg!! How strange! Defo a sign to dtd if you ask me haha

Ah okay, actually laughing here. Turns out it was a free gift with that clear blue test😂😂😂 must of fell out when I was putting the rubbish in the bin. Eeeee Christ 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

@jessi60 my tests went from 0.2 on Tuesday to 0.8 (peak) yesterday and then to 0.4 I think today so the peak is such a small window! Deffo get in the bedroom!! 💃🏼 ✨ 👶

@jessi60 that cracked me up! It went from a sign from God to a free gift from being a POAS very quickly

@AMS19 eee I know, that’s how much I’m loosing the plot. I was stood staring at it for ages like how weird that I’ve just found this. It must be a sign 😂😂

Then I thought hang on..... did a quick google and other people got them as a freebie. Apparently a good luck charm. Could only happen to me 🤣

@jessi60 that cracked me up about the stork!! I would've been majorly freaked out 🤣

How weird that the E@H tests show up higher- glad I bought those now.

@Bells20 when you said premom finds your peak later on when it goes back lower again... how you see/tell that? I'm wondering whether that will happen to me since my 0.71 was classed as 'low' by it, but @jessi60 has high for a 0.6 something as it's an E@H test. God it's so confusing!

@Emmgrem maybe it’s because all my ones before were low? So it’s automatically put it as a high reading? I think the line is quite dark on mine to just be 0.64 🤷🏻‍♀️ X

@Emmgrem I’ve just looked. Your CD 6 was dead dark wasn’t it! X

@jessi60 that really made me laugh. If that little stork turns out to be lucky for you I might have Toni vest in some CB's myself!

@Emmgrem sorry I'm going mad I haven't made sense all day 😂😂 I've just put my last months OPKs as an example so the 1.23 rating was only classed as peak after it dropped back down afterwards, otherwise i think it's set automatically to anything over 0.8 as high. So I think what I meant was if it's rating your OPKs as high, one of them could be your peak. So you'll know if you get a high, but you won't see it as 'peak' until it drops down again.

Wow I'm really showing my true colours here.. 5 opk's in one day. I don't know whether to feel embarrassed or impressed with myself!

@jessi60 yeah I'm still confused why it put this as low tbh, comparing with everyone else's 🤔🤷🏻‍♀️ maybe it will update if I keep testing more!!

@Bells20 ahh that makes sense thank you! I just need some to turn high now then 😂

@Bells20 wow your peak was super dark, darker than the control line! That's the model for all of us on how it's done 😂😂💪

5 in a day makes me feel better now, might go and do another one!

We're trying to sell our house at the moment and on viewing number 20 and still no offers! So what with that, covid postponing everything and waiting for OPKs to turn positive I just feel like I'm super impatient right now 😂😂

So.... a weird question here. After we DTD I always have to pee. Always been told to pee after having sex in case I get cystitis. Do you all think this affects anything?
@jessi60 that stork story is so funny! 😂

@Emmgrem oh I feel you I don't think I'd have much patience for that either!

It's funny though isn't it because if I hadn't tested 5 times I might never have seen that super dark line 😂

@PowerOfFlowers I've heard that too about cystitis, not sure if it's true but I've always made sure to pee after dtd because of it!! I've deliberately been avoiding going for a wee after, I read somewhere to lay on your back for half an hour after 😂 would love to know what other people are doing too
