Ovulation?

Hi girls, I’m new to this and have attached my OPK this morning. Is that a faint positive? What does it mean? I’ve been tracking my temperature too

Hello! This test is negative. You'll need to keep testing for the next few days.

@DogsAndGin with the ovulation tests it doesn’t matter if there’s two lines. Some people will always have two lines. I do. You need the test line to be equally as dark or darker than the control line for the test to be positive. If the test line is at all lighter than the control the test is negative.

I use a different type of ovulation test but I’ve attached my tests so you can see. CD13 are negative and CD14 positive because on CD13 the control line is darker (pink side) and on CD14 the test line is darker or equal (white side max).

On my chart you can see where I have that big dip on CD17 that’s the day I’ve ovulated and the big rise after on CD18 is 24 hours after ovulation. Its confirmed ovulation because my temps have stayed high since.

Hope this helps abit. Good luck!

@Newbiemg thank you so much, that is very helpful indeed! In that case, I didn’t get a positive last month either. But I did get a smiley face in Dec on cd14, which is reassuring. I think I might have ovulated super early this month, or maybe it’s yet to come

@DogsAndGin on your chart is that big dip today? What Cycle day are you CD13? That seems a normal time to ovulate. Perhaps you missed your peak. It can happen. Some people have very short peaks so it’s easy to miss them. If your temp rises tomorrow and stays up for atleast 3 days FF should confirm your ovulation. Keep taking your temps and the opks. I’m thinking based on your chart if that’s today then you may get a temp rise tomorrow meaning obv was today

Thank you @Newbiemg I’ve been doing tests every 12 hours, and haven’t seen any lines on the OPK. I’ll do another test tonight and DTD just in case
