Hi everyone I ovulated on 31st of august and was due my period today I've had on and off cramps the last few days but not my usual brown staining I usually get before af I've been quite dry apart from some creamy cm
Today I done an ovualtion test and it was positive so I done a hpt and its negetive
So confused never had a positive ovualtion test this late and not been pregnant
I didn't use fmu for hpt but should it not be showing positive by now if I was

All advice be great tia

All you can do is wait I’m afraid. I think the advice is to leave two days between testing. I hope you get the answer that you want.

Wait a few days and test again.

When you say ovulation occurred on 31st, did you get a opk peak on 29/30th?

I got my positive ovualtion test on the 31st august sorry I'm not too sure how all these tests work I thought when you got a positive on them it ment that your ovulating

How did you confirm your ovulation on the 31st OP?

If it’s the lh peak then usually ovulation can occur 12-36hrs later, although sources vary on that time frame. I usually find it happens the day after my peak test (about 24hrs). So you could have ovulated on 1st or 2nd.

The other thing I do is measure my bbt (temperature) each morning. This confirms ovulation occurred if the temp increases and stays high for three consecutive days.

Ovulation test strips

It could be hyperovulation? Where both ovaries release an egg. Or I've also read it can be common to have 2 LH surges in a month.

I'd keep doing the deed if you're TTC and keep testing every few days over the next 2-3 weeks!

For some reason lots of people don't know this but LH also peaks just before your period. So the two options are 1) ovulating late or 2) period about to arrive. This is why LH tests are not a good idea to use to detect pregnancy
