Hello
I've never posted on any thread or forum before as I've tried not to overthink things! However, I'm losing my mind a little, haha. Me & my (female) partner have been TTC since August. The first resulted in a chemical pregnancy & nothing so far.
This month however (not really pictured) I've had a few 'almost' ovulations but nothing confirmed, always slightly too light & flashing clearblue ovulation test, never peak.
7 days ago (CD37) I was due on my period however got results of the first OPKs pictured in the first grid - this was confirmed by CM, Cervix position/Open OS & peak clearblue ovulation test. We did the insemination that day.
Since then I've continued to test (awaiting AF) & have gotten slightly dark OPKs. I've attached the other two pictures for reference in previous months to see my 'average' negative.
I also have had heartburn (unusual for me), SLIGHTLY sore boobs, headaches, quite prominent stomach cramps/twinges, lower back ache & I can't keep my eyes open! In my CP I had insemination bleeding 10DPO & by this time I had bleeding gums, had smell sensitivity & started to pee more, non of which I have yet.
It's really difficult not to symptom spot & we're holding off testing until Sunday (11 DPO) because we don't want to be disappointed. Or so I say 😅 again, I've never posted & deliberately avoided reading into things. Because my ovulation has been all over the place (seemed to keep trying) I'm wondering if my body is just regulating again. Also, I have PCOS but my cycle has been 32 - 39 days for the last six months.
I'm wondering if anybody has any advice or knows anything about the correlation between consistently 'medium dark' OPKs & pregnancy? & obviously I have no idea when AF is now due be because my cycle is out of whack.
Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you
