How close do you think I am to ovulating?

[Algor1thm]

All FMU, CD8, 9, 10 and 11 from top to bottom. I'm not predicted to ovulate until CD16/17 and my partner is away from tonight for 3 days, which I didn't think would be a problem, but now I'm thinking I might ovulate while he's away 😔 What do you reckon?

Yep I'd say you are about to/have already started.
Did you dtd yesterday?

@Hungrycaterpillarsmummy do you reckon? Yes we did yesterday morning thankfully. Just the once this cycle though 😬

I think that's ok!
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you :)

It will depend how quick your surge is really. Some go up slowly over days whereas some go from this to peak on same day so it’s hard to say. Is this the first cycle you’ve used opk?

@allgoodthings84 I think I took the odd test back when I conceived my first but I can't really remember. I've never taken them daily before I don't think. I didn't realise different people were different with their surge speed though.

@Algor1thm yep every woman is different. Best thing is daily until near the surge then twice a day to make sure the peak isn’t missed. When mine look like this I get a peak the next day but others have it like this for awhile. Best thing is to keep testing until you get a peak then a few days after to make sure it goes lighter again

@allgoodthings84 thanks so much really helpful

But either way you should be having sex every second day around the time these strips get strong.

@Hungrycaterpillarsmummy as I said in the post, my partner is away for 3 nights, so I can't 🤷🏼‍♀️ I didn't think it would be a problem as he'd be home 3 days before my predicted ovulation

Yes I know I just meant for next cycle if you can but I agree I think you have had a good chance this month!

@Hungrycaterpillarsmummy thanks, I hope so! Test this morning was still strong so idk what that means really 🙈
