Help with OPK's

[chasingtherainbow1]

So I'm new to opk testing following a mc. Wanted to see if I was ovulating again. I had a cycle of 32 days last month which is longer than usual. So I deceived to start doing opk's this month on cd15.

These are the 4 tests I've got so far. They seem to have got lighter after the first one so I though I might have ovulated before I started testing, but now it seems to be darker again today? I thought I would have already ovulated by now but these have confused me. Does it look like I'm leading up to ovulation?

Thanks

Oops pic didn't attach first time

Yea I would say you haven't ovulated yet so keep testing. Are you testing the same time each day/multiple times a day? I found sometimes I had one that would be lighter than before but it was cause I would be testing at a different time or my urine was more diluted

Yeah I've been testing first thing in a morning. I don't have any more left now and I can't get to the shops until Sunday which is annoying. Maybe I can get some delivered so that I can continue.

I am CD18 today though, does that seem late to ovulate?

No I ovulated CD24 this month cause I think the covid jab has delayed it this cycle. Opks was an eye opener for me cause I always ovulated later than I thought

Ok thanks for your help! I'll persevere with the tests then. Managed to get hold of some from the supermarket but they're a different brand so will see how it goes over he next few days

I fell pregnant with my daughter on cd20 ovulation. Perfectly fine.

I'm on cd17 with no sign of any ovulation, having had the jab last month 🤦‍♀️.

@chasingtherainbow1
They say not to use the opks in the morning better times is meant to be between 2 and 8 for a better reading slot of people would test 2 then again at 8 maybe try l8r in the day.

@chasingtherainbow1

Thanks for the advise guys! It's reassuring to hear that ovulation can happen a lot later than what is classed as normal.

@Babyghirl I didn't realise that it would be better to test later! I'll definitely try that from now on ☺️

Just done a Tesco one. Would you say this is positive?

If not it's got to be close hasn't it? I'm just so released that my body is getting back to normal!

Relieved *

I don't think it's positive yet as it's not as dark as the control line. Test again this evening

So this is today's test. Thanks for the help guys. One last question, does this mean I'm not ovulating now but will in the next 24-48 hours?

Now I'm just worried that my late ovulation might be causing my miscarriages. Might speak to the gp about it

Today's test

Within 48 hours. Sometimes I'd ovulate the day I got positive too.
