First OPK and struggling to decipher. Please help!

[Marinaautumn]

Hi everyone I'm new here and I just started my ttc journey a month ago. This month I decided to start tracking ovulation and to my surprise my LH "surged" but never actually became positive. Does that mean I didn't ovulate or I did something wrong? I'm a mix between concerned and sad. Image is my strip tests so i classed it as sensitive in case people don't want to see the used strips. Thanks! And baby dust for all! X

@Marinaautumn the CD12 one looks quite positive to me? If you are using the easy@home strips, download the Premom app and it’ll quantify it for you - that’ll help ☺️

also once you see it darken like that, you need to test more than once a day or you’ll likely miss when it’s peak. If they’re all evening, I’d guess you peaked the morning of either CD12 or CD13.

Thank you so much, you have no idea how much better I feel already ☺️ oh and yes its easy at home and that one says 65% on the app which to me looked darker so maybe I try the app you suggested instead

@Marinaautumn no problem! How long are your cycles? If they’re quite short I’d say CD12 looks to be the true peak, but if they’re longer I’d keep testing in case that wasn’t your true peak. My cycles are 29/30 days and I don’t ovulate until day 18 sometimes x

I had my coil removed on September, which I had for 3 years of practically no periods. Before that I was on the pill for a while. So my cycles have been getting back to normal slowly and I'm not sure yet how predictable they are. But before contraception my cycles where never too long, mostly around 27 days. I stopped OPK testing after the test line started to drastically dissappear because I thought that was it. But if no luck this month I'll test for longer the month after. Thanks for the info!
