Ovulation sticks

Hi, I'm hoping someone can help and maybe explain things to me. I used ovulation sticks to get my son and they would always have the bright line but this time around I'm only getting faint lines.

I used the medicated coil for a few months and I'm wondering if that's played a part of if I am ovulating or if I need to speak to a doctor. We've been trying since Feb and only had a dark line once.

TIA

Hiya, how many days per cycle do you test? Is it possible you're just not catching it? I ovulate around day 20 and use Premom app to take the pictures and keep a log of them, do you do anything like that?

When do you use the ovulation sticks? I would always start on day 10 of my cycle and take the picture on the premom app to check. Sometimes I would ovulate slightly early so didn't want to miss it.

Well because I know I ovulate late and have done for years, I start them on day 17 and carry on until I get a positive. Have you tried continuing throughout the whole cycle, might be what it takes as a trial at least then you know for sure whether you have ovulated or not?

I've started this month to do a test ever day. My day 14 was yesterday and when I was trying before I was always day 14 as my periods are every 28 days even now.

Thank you.

I would do a month of doing them constantly from Day after period stops This is what my doctor just said to me but I have just come out off medical menopause and a failed IVF transfer so have no clue where I am at,
