Ovulation tests, am I doing it right?

[PPop]

As the title, faint one 29/10 so then progressed to this?

Okay my pictures haven't attached so that's awesome 😂 it now isn't loading them but I am allowing... haha!

Okay sorry got them!

Those are all negative. The test line (one furthest away from the blue LH but you hold) should be as dark as or darker than the control line. One all if those tests the line is lighter than the control line. The line isn’t faint though so keep going and I would try twice a day if you’re not sure around about when you ovulate yet or you could miss it.

Ah I can see now you have done them twice a day. The later PM one is definitely darker than the AM one so keep on resting as I think it’s going to be very soon

Testing not resting 😂

Thank you! It is darkening slowly, when is best to have sex on these? I admit to getting a bit excited last night when the line was darkening and got a bit frisky 😂 from what I've read there seems to be some who say every day some every two days... I have some pain in my right side today so I wondered if there was a link and that this was the beginning! I'm just starting to cycle again after being on desogestral.

Sperm can live up to 5 days once inside so the 3 days leading up to the positive test, the day of the positive test and the day after (likely to be ovulation).

Ovulation occurs 12-36 hours after the first positive Opk so likely the next day. After ovulation has happened there’s only 12-24 hours left for it to be possible to fertilise the egg so the best thing is to have sperm ready and waiting. Statistically the day before ovulation (day of the first positive opk) and the day of ovulation give the best chance.

We tend to go every other day from around day 8 until we get the positive and then do it that day and the following day (ovulation) and if the positive is at night or seems like it was overnight then we go the night after ovulation too as still within 24 hours after. This worked for us last cycle but unfortunately it ended in an early miscarriage but nothing to do with when we dtd.

Ovulation pain can happen before, during or after ovulation but usually before (from what I’ve read online). The cycles that I get ovulation pain it’s the day I get my positive opk so the day before ovulation

I'm really sorry to read about your miscarriage, I do fear that and you have my deepest sympathy.

Thank you for all your advice I will test in the morning as it does feel incoming right now! Bet DH will be thrilled at the thought of it tonight again...
