It’s a Premom one!

[sukiwh]

Is this it? Cycle day 11 was my peak? I’m on CD12 and the two OPKs I’ve done this morning were barely worth doing. I’ve put the result of one of them on Premom app.

BBT was up yesterday CD11 and today CD12, but I always get higher temps on weekends. I think this is because I normally wake up at 8am on weekends, whereas my weekday results are always at 6am.

Any help/hope appreciated.

How long are your cycles and have you ever tracked ovulation before?

Typically a peak reading on an OPK is when the test line is as dark as, or darker than, the control line. This would be a reading of 1.0 or higher on premom. They can go much higher than this though and I've had readings up to about 2.7 as my peak on premom. I mention that just to reference the fact that 0.6 isn't a particularly high reading and wouldn't normally indicate a peak reading or that you were about to ovulate.

That being said the app is registering your 0.5 readings as high. Mine don't register as high until 0.8 and so I wonder if you've tracked OPKs before and only ever had lower readings?

Basically I would assume that no this isn't your peak and you should keep testing twice daily.

Mine never went beyond 1 (also with Premom), so the first cycle it never said high, but then it adjusts the analysis on your next cycle. Mine declared 0.67 "peak" in my last recorded cycle. I read somewhere in their literature that for some people, the levels are just lower.

If it were me I'd assume that the true peak would have been sometime after that 2.06pm one on CD11, as my LH levels appear to rise and fall very quickly and for the rest of the cycle the tests are normally well under 0.2, but you'll know what your pattern is usually. Even if you don't normally ov on CD12 you might feel bad that you have a couple or so weird cycles per year....

Unless you have short cycles I would assume you haven't ovulated yet. DTD to cover yourself but keep testing

I would ignore the numbers are your pictures are quite inconsistent. So the different lighting and the dye run makes it hard for the app to determine the T/C levels.
I ended up making myself almost a light box set up so I had consistent lighting and always waited for the test to be dry (about 8 mins) to stop the dye run confusing it. Made the ratios much more accurate.
At the end of the day you’re just looking for the one test where the test line is as dark or darker than the control, so peak doesn’t really matter, none of those tests look dark enough for me so I would keep DTD just incase.

Thanks everyone for your thoughtful responses. I’ve been doing this for 18 months and only had what Premom considers a positive (1.08) once! I also managed to get pregnant on a month where my “peak” was 0.5ish, though that sadly ended in mmc. Is it possible I could always have my peak overnight?

Cycles are anywhere between 25-29 days, the latest I’ve ever had a peak (or at least my darkest OPK) is CD13. When I try and test longer e.g. up to CD17/18, it is just a waste of tests. I never get a second surge.

See what you’re saying @HappyPie82 about the pics. I do usually take pictures of each test in different lights (one in bathroom light, one in daylight, one with flash - I know, it’s very silly!) but I’ve found that Premom reads them all pretty much the same anyway! I would love to make a little light box for consistency though.

Thanks everyone for replying.

Thanks for this @Mirla nice to know I am not the only one who struggles to see strong numbers.
