The bottom lh one looks positive or very close. Not everyone gets a full positive. It's definitely getting darker so looks like you're about to! Get baby dancing

Well I am totally confused and frustrated now
I had a static smiley 2 days ago on CD17 as well as a positive IC strip test. Yesterday my ICs were still positive. This morning on CD19 my strip test is a blazing positive much darker than the rest!!!
My BBT has also dropped this morning
I've never O'd later than CD17 before

I'm now so confused have I even O'd? Or is it yet to come? Why is it sooooo late this month?

Did you use the clear blue properly starting on the correct day of your cycle? If not it can give you very weird results.

How many days is your usual cycle?

How many days is your usual cycle?

I think so!
Normally O CD17 ish and have a 12 day LP so 29 days

This is super late for me to O

These are my tests - I did originally think O yesterday but now I'm thinking O tomorrow?
My BBT didn't rise today either

Hi ladies, I hope you don’t mind me joining in on this thread. This our 2nd cycle TTC, I’ve been testing ovulation since CD8 and now on CD18 and all negative. I have been using the strip tests but found them tricky to read at times so changed to digital for the past couple of days. I thought this early on I would be quite relaxed but no luck there 😅 Trying not to get disheartened but I can’t help but worry that I don’t ovulate. Hoping everyone is coping okay and sending you all baby dust!

Did you manage to get your peak Emily?

Great news about your peak! 🥰

Nope, no luck unfortunately! Someone mentioned about me changing to digital from strip and that if using the Clear Blue digitals
it can take a few days for it to get used to your LH levels so I might have missed it during that cross over? Either that or I was super early. Thanks for asking though!😌

Fingers crossed for an easier month next month

I think I've had my peak but I'm confused as to why my OPKs are still positive
I thought I O'd 2 days ago but now I think it's today

However until my strips get significantly lighter I'm just not sure! Going to test again when I get home tonight

🤞 I hope so! Literally wishing my life away with these 2WW!

hmm, it’s odd but maybe it’s just because of your fertile window? It’s meant to last like 6 days isn’t it? Everything crossed for you that all the BD has done the trick this month!

I honestly find the waiting for ovulating worse than the 2 week waits 🤣🤣

That was me at the beginning of the month! Now it’s the 2WW- basically I’m terrible at waiting. Patience is not my strong point 😂

Me neither! I've woken up to a negative OPK and a temp rise today! So I think I'm now 1dpo and officially in the 2WW!! Yay!
