Positive OPK then tests getting darker at 6dpo

[SunshineAndRainbows6]

Hey ladies 👋🏼

Slight background history; I had emergency surgery for a ruptured ectopic on the 18th of January, I then wanted to track my ovulation via OPK's to see if my body was getting back to normal....

I had a positive OPK Monday just gone with INTENSE cramps; this was 18 days after surgery (I never experienced ovulation cramps before my tube removal), I've added a photo below! Don't ask me why I've been taking more after my peak but the following day it went down to a barely there line.... then it's slowly got darker over the last few days 🤔 it's confused me, is that normal or is my body messed up?

I tested negative two weeks after the operation so I know I don't have any HCG left in my system to muck with them 🤷🏻‍♀️

I've been experiencing a pulling sensation on my left side all of today 🤔

I'm panicking slightly as I thought I had ovulated so we have DTD since without protection as we will be trying again next month after one cycle 🔁

Any thoughts or similar experiences would be appreciated 🙏🏼✨🌈

Hi were you pregnant?

Hiya,

A positive ovulation strip doesn't necessarily guarantee that you ovulated then, sometimes if your body doesn't ovulate your hormones start to go up again and you have another peak before ovulating. It could just be your hormones fluctuating. I'd just do a pregnancy test 2 weeks later to rule it out. Hope that helps?

@LucyLou0527 Hey 👋🏼 Nope no pregnancy that month, just my body going a bit weird due to my loss 😔 Unfortunately still no positive since then either.... Still awaiting our triple rainbow baby 🌈

@NphysT Thank you for your advice! That is what I ended up doing that month 🙏🏼 If I remember correctly it went back down again and I got my period a week or so later... Just my body getting back to it I think 🤔

Baby dust to you both if your trying ✨
