Show me your ovulation tests please

[My2boysaremyworld]

Hi all first month using ovulation tests. Had a miscarriage in April and worried I'm not getting ready to ovulate. Iv been testing since Tuesday and not got close to getting a positive in fact it's getting fainter. My app says I'm due to ovulate tomorrow but the tests say different

I didn't ovulate for three months after my mc - give it time xx

@Ally256 thank you. It's mad cuz they say your more fertile for the first 3 months after. Was hoping it was true for me but not looking like it 😩

Yeah certainly wasn't true for me. Sorry! I hope it happens for you soon.

I'd suggest to keep on testing. I ovulated a week or more later after my chemical.

So shall I keep testing until AF turns up or is that too late?

Either until AF shows up, or until you got a peak ;)

Thank you x

Also, my tests usually go from a reading of 0.24 on one day to a peak the next day. It could happen any time! Fingers crossed for you.

@Bundaberg84 thank you. Iv just downloaded the app Premom to upload my tests etc xx

I am using that as well, works really well.

@Bundaberg84 👍🏻

So these are my results from Tuesday afternoon onwards. Ignore the cycle days as only uploaded app last night so looks like it's all done today lol. So my highest peak so far was on cycle day 10. Does this mean I could of ovulated before I started testing?

CD 12 1.13 on Premom

1.38 sorry

🤦🏼‍♀️ 1.58 on Premom 🤣

@McConkeysPlate is that your peak? I'm getting nowhere near that

@My2boysaremyworld , that’s today. I have not really done them before. It said it’s high so should probably dtd?

@McConkeysPlate yes I would get on with the DTD tonight 😉

@My2boysaremyworld hard to say actually. Did you test multiple times a day when the tests went a bit darker?

Hi there, just wondering how you knew you had a chemical P ?
Thanks x

Whats Premom? is it free and what does it measure :)

Hey @Blueberryface - a chemical is basically a very early miscarriage. It is called Chemical Pregnancy because your body is producing the "chemicals" so to speak - hcg - but it will not develop properly. Many women will never know they had one if they are not testing early. It could just look like a (mostly heavier) late period. My chemical was, as far as I remember, around 15dpo. Tested positive at 11dpo.
Premom is an app where you can add the pictures of all your OPKs and it will rate them based on how dark the line is.

I know they're more expensive but the basic clearblue tests with the smiley face worked amazingly for me - I was doing IUI and got pregnant each of the 3 times I tried it using those tests - DTD the day after you first get the smiley face (my son was conceived 2 months after a chemical). But I would say I ovulated a good few days after any apps said I would so don't trust those.

@Bundaberg84 hi no have only tested twice a day and only once on the first day once the tests had arrived.

@Firecat84 thank you will see if I get a peak in the next few days
