Hi all,

I’m trying to work out if I got a peak OPK today. Bit of back story, been off pill since April and no luck TTC so far. Using BBT I ovulated first few cycles and then don’t think I have since then based on my erratic temps and using cheap OPKs. This month I decided to take more control so am using the OvuSense core which has definitely made my temps cleared to read and more stable and have used the CB purple ovulation tests. My last 4 cycles have been long at 38 days and I’m only on CD16 today so wasnt expecting ovulation soon (if at all 😑 tbh). I did start using the CB end of last week though and much to my surprise got a smiley blinkey face yesterday (🎉🎉🎉🎉) and one again today. I also took cheap OPK yesterday afternoon which was negative and again this afternoon. The first one at 11am today looks like a high to me, although the app placed it at peak and then at high so I’m not sure 🤷🏼‍♀️. I did another test two hours later and just a faint line….I am not sure if i take this as a peak and start ramping up the baby making. We’re both knackered with work and BD’d last night but it was far from sexy and def more a case of doing it for baby making 😬. Feel like I’ll be breaking bad news to DH if I tell him we need to do it again tonight 😂

Anyway, any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks so much xx

Personally I'd take this as a peak but I guess it will be obvious with tomorrow's temp

Hi OP, save yourself the guessing - an app like Premom or Femometer allows you to upload the pic and it analyses it for you and tells you when it's peak!

@Juno231 thank you. I’ve never had such a strong line before and they do look like equal strengths so think I’ll take it as a peak and just see what happens with my temps over the next few days. Just broke the news to poor DH…never thought we’d get to a point where me telling him we’re having sex is ‘bad’ news 😂

@Danani - I have the Femometer app. When I put the result in it said peak and then high and then peak again (all from the same test) so I wasn’t sure which it was..I guess it must just be on the cusp!

@Champagnecharlie88 I found the apps a bit arbitrary anyway so it's good to apply your opinion to it/challenge its assessment!
