Have I missed ovulation?

[TinkRose]

I use ovulation test strips - there’s only been one almost possible reading on CD 14 (10th Jan). I also had some (I believe EWCM) around this time. When I looked at my heart rate on fitbit, it was steadily rising until Thurs (CD19) and then has flattened out. I know BBT is the only way to be sure but I haven’t done it - what are the chances I’ve missed ovulation?

Hello! There’s a chance your surge could have been between 6:30pm on CD13 and 7pm on CD14! I’ve read somewhere late afternoon is most common time for a surge and also if you’ve been drinking a lot that day your result could possibly have been diluted slightly! I had similar this month my test only got to 0.83 on pre-moms app and usually it’s a lot higher but BBT confirmed I did ovulate! So might be worth purchasing a thermometer for next cycle if this month isn’t lucky! Wishing you lots of luck and baby dust ✨

I always surge between 11pm and 1am but it hangs around for 24 hours.
looks like you’ve possibly surged between testing on cd13-14 and just had a short surge which isn’t uncommon.

once you notice it rising it’s best to start testing twice a day if you don’t want to miss it

This is my gut instinct too! I’m a pain for only testing once a day but I get up so early for work and I’m just not a morning person so I always forget!

Just updating this to say that I’ve now got pink tinged CM - if I did ovulate when I think I did, I’d more than likely be due AF tomorrow. I never have any spotting beforehand, it’s usually okay straight into full flow. So naturally, I’m now wondering if I’m having a rather late implantation bleed!
