OPKs only predict ovulation, they show you releasing enough of the LH to encourage an egg to be released. To confirm ovulation you can track BBT (should rise after ovulation), and/or check progesterone levels on about CD 21. If you're having regular cycles then it's very likely you're ovulating, exceptions are PCOS and breastfeeding etc which may be more likely to cause anovulatory cycles (we all also have the off anovulatory cycle, it's just something that happens from time to time esp if ill/ stressed etc).

Very long way of saying, without other things going on, if you're having regular periods and OPKs positive mid cycle you are very likely to be ovulating.

Oh wow well I had cramping quite bad on Friday/Saturday/Sunday and Monday so maybe the positive on Sunday was the one I should count from and this is just the hormone sticking around haha so I'll say I'm roughly 2dpo give or take 🤣

How is everybody else today??
I've barely slept, full of a cold and dizzy, mucous cough too 😭
Starving and exhausted but it's my little boys 7th birthday so having to FIND energy haha!
Also a TONNE of creamy cm yesterday too like LOOOOADS which I don't remember usually having, usually after ovulation I go to dry 🤷🏻‍♀️

Oh sorry you’re not well. Classic timing on a kids’ bday too! Hope you can power through with some birthday cake as fuel!

interesting re CM. I don’t seem to have any now really. No symptoms at all today. When are we testing? Haha

JM1997 · 02/05/2024 14:44

Afternoon ladies,
I'm so sorry to hear that you aren’t feeling great @Hannah4850 ❤️❤️ not what you need when you have your childs birthday as well!
I honestly feel so bloody bloated today my belly is hanging over my jeans, and my face just looks chubby. My ovary pains seem to have stopped today as well but oh my goodness yesterday they were happening sporadically and I felt like I was going to be sick 🤢 How is everyone else?? Anyone got anything nice planned for the weekend, we are going away to my parents and I’ve a hen do, so hopefully that will keep me distracted!!

Thank you babe!
I had some sharp pains today but nothing much barring the cm honestly, slight nausea and reflux but I've been eating anything in sight so probably that 🤣
I hate not knowing which day I ovulated I can't properly track, either the Sunday or Tuesday 😭 maybe I call it the Monday and go from there lol
I've got my son's birthday party on Sunday which will be nice and I'm working Saturday so I'll be distracted too!
Hope you have an ace time at the hen do 💖

Ive read all your posts…I think I also ovulated Sunday so we are all in this together!!

im going to try and keep myself this busy next week so I don’t think about it too much!

Evening!
I've been so busy I was in bed early last night and woke up much better today.
Boobs feel tender today but I had them sore all the last tww and no Bfp so not excited haha!
I did however have BAD sharp cramps on my left uterus side about an hour ago whilst lasting my last client, so bad that I tried to stand and my legs buckled
Didn't last more than a couple mins but very specific in one place and now I have like period aches with back ache
(Could be from sitting lashing my client but never had that before!)
How is everybody else??💖

@Hannah4850 morning lovely, I am so glad that you are feeling much better today. They sound like promising signs, I had something similar a couple of days ago where it felt like an ache on one side of your uterus to the point where I felt like I was having my period pains again with back ache. I feel so bloated still but have booked into see the doctor on Thursday to try and understand my bloatedness, the past two days I haven’t been able to zip my jeans up as my belly has felt like it is going to pop out, but it could just be that I’ve got an infection. It is so hard not to see things as symptoms though isn’t it!! I hope you’re having a lovely day today, and with regards to tracking when you ovulated I would just keep saying to yourself that you know the round about time, so maybe go from the Monday as then you’ve covered all basis by going from a later ovulated date!

JM1997 · 04/05/2024 11:22

Hi ladies,
I hope you’re all doing well today! Just on my way into London for a hen do, hope you all have nice things planned to keep distracted!

Oh gosh let us know what the doctor says!
I've had on/off aches today like started and pains
My son's birthday party kept me distracted though! Boobs are still super sore but like I said a couple days ago I had that all last month and meant nothing 🤣
Is everybody off work tomorrow?? Any nice plans??💖

Hey Gals, sorry to just jump in on this I'm looking for some just advice really...

Looking for some peeps to maybe just give me a bit of advice and just to really confirm I'm not going crazy! I was on the Feb TTC thread and came off after I was neg I found it quite hard going through and seeing bfp's and my head just wasn't in it...

I'm currently approx 17 DPO (approx). By means of LH testing I peaked on CD 12 Ovulated CD 13 (18th of April, I stopped tracking LH on CD 13 as it had dropped down so assumed the CD12 was my peak, I usually keep measuring to make sure it was my "true peak" but I didn't this month).
From about 10/11 Dpo I've been feeling a bit 'off' but I assumed I was just symptom spotting or getting the old progesterone rise symptoms pre period...I have a very regular cycle 29/30 days so was due Saturday 4th or Sunday 5th (Today!)

Tested 11dpo with FMU on boots early response -ve.
Tested again on Wednesday night so 13dpo with a FRER but was in the evening, -ve again.

Thursday so CD27 I woke and had a tiny bit of bleeding just when wiping, a bit of light cramping put a tampon on for about 2 hours when going out but when I took it out it was only a little "brown". Put a pad on and there was literally the smallest amounts of blood nothing bright red or anything. Over Thursday Friday and Saturday I've had literally 1 pad on almost most of the day as there's been nothing really coming out! I tested again on Friday night with cheapies again and -ve.

I'm just really confused as i have endometriosis and although luckily my cycles are very regular, they are extremely heavy, I don't have spotting days before a bleed etc I very much have it come and its arrived full flow heavy clotty and very much filling pads multiple times a day. I completely dried up Friday night and I've not had a single thing even when wiping today apart from a bit of tinged CM jelly like.

I know it's TMI but I literally pulled my pads out the bin to just double check I wasn't going crazy and had actually bled more than I thought and I've attached some pics (ones top side of pads and ones underneath to see what actually soaked through)...but honestly this is NOTHING compared to my usual cycles. Has anyone else had this experience and eventually got a bfp? I see so many people get bfp's really early on and I'm so delighted for them but then I think surely there's some people out there that get them later? Am I clutching at straws here or anyone else had the same kinda thing? I was holding off to test again until tomorrow with FMU, could this have been that I implanted maybe around 10/11 dpo and it's just started to manifest as IB a couple of days later?

TIA to anyone who responds. Xxx

Hiya Mina!
How are you??
Personally I wouldn't know much about your situation, but I did have similar last month I had a 2 day late light bleed which was on/off didn't even need a pad and was over 4 days
Turns out it was just an off period and I had bfn the whole time 😫

@Hannah4850

Hey lovely, thanks so much for replying 🥰
Yeah I'm thinking it's maybe just been a weird 'period' just never ever had anything like this before. I'm very in tune with my cycles etc due to having the endo so I'm just baffled at the spotting and the fact there was no actual bleeding per say. CD31 (if I'm discounting that couple of days of spotting as a period) and I'm getting slightly tinged EWCM like I get around ovulation time! Honestly the weirdest cycle for me ever it's defo one for my ttc history books lol 😂
Honestly my brain is fried right now 🤦🏻‍♀️ x

How are you ladies today?!
Hopefully a nice weekend, have any of you tested??
I had some very sharp pains last night so my and my partner got excited and took a frer
... we got a SUPER faint line straight away but can't tell if it's grey or pink 😭😭 we did one yesterday which was barely even visible but there
It's so early to test but we can't wait we're too excited and now I'm feeling down because my boobs aren't as sore, I have no more aches and the line has dried even lighter 😭😭
I'll post the pics if you guys can see anything 💖
