OPK confusion (with pics)

Can somebody with knowledge on OPKs please give me advice?

This is my first month using them.

I'm confused about whether it is better to DTD when it got really high (CD 13) or the day after, which my app says is ovulation day (CD14).

I thought you was supposed to DTD the day AFTER the peak as you ovulate after the peak.. so we DTD on CD 14 .... but now I'm wondering if that would have been too late? Do you think we missed the boat?

I got EWCM on CD 13.

So bloomin confusing! I just want to know if I have a shot this month and also to know better for next month.

Once you get a peak reading it means your likely to ovulate around 12-48 hours later. It's best to have soerm up there ready and waiting do really you should be dtd as soon as you suspect your park is coming then defo the day if your peak and then the day after just to be sure 😁 x

You need to be dtd prior to getting your oeak/high, that way, sperm. Is there waiting for the egg to be released. I'm a big fan of SMEP, which is every other day until a positive test, and then 3 days on the bounce. Ewcm is helpful to sperm because it helps it move. Good luck.

I would have DTD on cd13 but if you DTD on cd14, you're still fine and have a high chance of pregnancy

Thanks for the replies all!
I guess we will have to DTD more in the lead up for next months cycle

Nice to know I'm not out this month though by DTD on CD14 😄
