Is this ovulation? Ovulation strips

[Chipmunk09]

Hi everyone,

We’re currently ttc baby no. 2. Im trying out ovulation strips for the first time but don’t know much about it! I have PCOS and irregular cycles so thought it would be a good way of seeing when/if I’ve ovulated.

Does it look like I’ve ovulated on CD16 from this? We dtd everyday between CD13-18. But I feel like the T/C ratio is quite low for all my readings so I’m not sure…

It's hard to tell from that photo op but control line looks darker. Test line looks lighter. To me no it doesn't look like your ovulating yet

To have a positive ovulation test it should be as dark as or ideally darker than the control line, only you could see the test in person if you think it was as dark? But yes 0.54 is quite low to be ovulation, keep testing though as my friend has PCOS and she eventually ovulated on day 47 one cycle so don’t lose hope as easy as that is to say! Good luck x I’d recommend BBT moving forward if you aren’t having much luck with opks x

If pre Mom is saying high at 0.54 thats an error thats a low calculation

Thanks guys! I’ll definitely try BBT moving forward I think.

Also, I don’t think I tested enough throughout the day. I could’ve possibly missed the peak or as pp said I just might not have ovulated yet!

@Chipmunk09 test line should be darker than control line. Keep testing. I have pcos and ovulation fluctuates. I got pregnant in december ovulation was day 19. Last cycle was day 33 and this cycle was day 45 before I ovulated. Premom has become a little unreliable as of late. I've had days where I put in a low test and it was calculating it as 4.something super high and quite a few users had the same issue so sometimes you just need to rely on your own eyes

Apologies to jump in here! Has anyone had anything similar happen after a chemical pregnancy a month prior? My ovulation strips are all over the place. I’m unsure why they all look so similar but different on random days. It’s clear it’s barely showing the 11th but on the 19th it’s quite similar to the control line.

Any advice?

Hi all, I have pcos and very small endometrium I havent ovulated in 6 years and 3 weeks ago I was told I might never do by a doctor. And this cycle I wasn't feeling the best had cramps etc and decided to do the ovu tests. Do you think this is ovulation?
The bottom one is from today and the last 3 are from the last 3 days (second pee )

Thanks a lot !

@Chipmunk09 i have PCOS too and found OPKs not very helpful as when you have PCOS you can have multiple rises in LH which is confusing when trying to read the tests.
Ive since moved to using the OvuSense ovufirst BBT sensor.
I’ve been using it since July and have found I’ve ovulated 3 times since then.
The FDA recommends it for PCOS sufferers. It is £25pm but I’ve been able to chill out about it a little knowing that I can rely on that to tell me if I’ve ovulated. It’s still learning my cycles so not that accurate in predicting yet. But my cycles are becoming shorter due to supplements I’ve been taking. Hoping to have a more normal cycle soon. Over the last 2 years I’ve ranged from 100 days down to my most recent cycle of 52 days.

Hi can anyone help me - is this ovulation test positive? Xx

@laurenn26 I would say not yet x

Did I ovulate on Monday (cycle day 13 2/26) I got my peak I think Sunday is it safe to say im 1DPO today?
