I have been using the ovulation strips for a while.

Can someone please help it's my first time
Using them. Have I missed my ovulation this month.

I have been taking the strips since 11th March.
An I'm now on cycle day 19 and it says low and is 0.1 whereas yesterday it was 0.17.

I thought I would be ovulating today. I hope I haven't missed it.

Can someone please have a look?

Maybe you are going to ovulate late and within the next few days? I was starting to get nervous when my strips were still totally white the day before the calendar said ovulation, but the next day I got a really clear second line and ended up one day behind the predicted date.

It looks like you haven't ovulated yet so I would keep testing. Is this your first month using OPKs? If not, what day do you usually ovulate? May be worth using BBT as well next cycle as that will confirm even if you happen to miss your surge with the OPKs.

You're testing too early in the day. For OPKs you shouldn't use first morning urine. Test between 10 am and 10pm.

This is my first time using these strips I have never used anything before this to track ovulation.

Also sorry what is BBT not sure ??

Thank you @bitheby I wasn't aware that u should test during the day not early morning. So will start doin that from today hopefully I haven't missed ovulation

@LovesLags123450

I have always had trouble getting a high off opk.
Mine only spikes for a short period, so unless I am testing every few hours I have missed it.

Just make sure no matter what the OPK shows you are DTD every other day.

Your temperature will show ovulation after it has occured.
EWCM is also a great sign of impending ovulation. If you get that, DTD.

It's unlikely that you've ovulated as all of the tests you've taken are negative. The line has to be the same darkness or darker. Either that or you've missed the surge (the month I fell pregnant with my dd I had a one hour surge!).

BBT is basal body temperature. It means taking your temperature at the same time each morning before you move and get out of bed. An ovulation stick tells you that you are likely to ovulate if positive, and taking your temperature is the only way to confirm it as temperature rises after ovulation and falls only when af is due to arrive. It stays elevated if you are pregnant. I'll attach a picture of my chart my bfp month so you can see.
