Opks not peaking

I'm ment to ovulate today but my OPKs are low. I haven't had a peak yet. I'm on CD15 and nearly always have 28 day cycle. I always test around 7pm after 4 hour hold with no fluids. It looks like there getting weaker. What's going on? I only have pic of last 2 days as only just discovered the premom app lol.

I'm having a similar problem, over the past few months I've had a peak between CD12 & CD14, today I am CD15 and my ratios are between .20 & .50, I was also using CB advanced digital & didn't get my static smiley so I'm not sure what's going on this month. I had covid in December so that could be a factor... 🤷🏽‍♀️
I tend to test 2x a day so maybe if you're only testing once you're missing your peak? Try mid morning & early evening & see how you get on next month if no luck this time.

I peaked August to December on day 13/14 of my cycle, but this month I ovulated on day 17.

It was my first time using OPKs and Premom and my surge was also super quick. I went from low one day to peak the next and back down to low within two days of the peak.

Is there a chance you might have missed it or might be ovulating a bit later? I'd keep going and, if able, test 2-3 times a day to cover all the bases. Depends on how accurate you want/are able to be!

Thanks for the advice. I could be missing the peak. I didn't really want to test at work but I think I might have to.

Hi ☺️ TTC is so stressful!
I didn't think I was ovulating due to low LH and no peaks
Went to the GP and had blood tests that confirmed I had ovulated.
I started using the clear blue advanced OPKs that's showed me I ovulated later in my cycle than I thought (CD17).
I conceived last November with limited rise in LH on cheap strips. But a static smiley on CBOPK
So even if your tracking doesn't look great, it can still happen.
Unfortunately that ended in MC so I'm back to tracking again!
Good luck x x x

@123456789ss thanks so mutch for your reply, i will keep testing, i might just ovulate later. I'm so sorry to hear of your MC.

Really silly question but can you test on morning pee? I've heard somewhere you shouldn't but this would be so mutch more convenient lol.

I've read that for LH it is best to test later on in the day.
Mine would show a little better later in the evening and have got the change from flashing smiley to static smiley in the evenings

But they say to not be too hydrated...!

It's useful to get to know your cycle for a couple of months and track it on an app like Premom

Tested again just now. Slightly higher result of 30 but still not peak. I'll check again in the morning. X

Quick update.
I tested again last night and this morning and still no peak. This morning was the lowest reading of all of them. I really think I might have missed it, CD16 now. Gonna DTD tonight and hope for the best. X
