Hi all
I just need a bit of guidance with ovulation tests - does this mean ovulation getting closer? Should I start trying today or wait? Numbers at side are days of cycle, cycles range 28-35 days normally

TIA <3

Based on those tests I’d say you’re still a while away from ovulation. A positive test the test line has to be darker than the control line x

Thank you! Is it a good sign it’s darkening though? Im always worried I don’t ovulate as my cycle ranges so differently every month!

I know they're not the cheapest but invest in a clear blue one. It does a flashing smiley face when nearing ovulation and a static smiley when you are. A round circle when no where near. I wasted so much time on cheap tests. Got pregnant after a 14 months, first month using the clear blue. Obviously could have been coincidence but still at least there's no interpretation of lines to be done

It’s hard to say, your LH does rise and fall throughout your cycle as it varies day to day, it doesn’t always build gradually towards a peak. Some people go from nothing, to a peak, back to nothing in 12 hours, other people will see it get gradually darker each day for 4/5 days then have a peak and see it get gradually lighter for 4/5 days. Try not to worry, keep testing and see what happens.

I really recommend the premom app for tracking test results, I used that when trying for my daughter and it was so simple to understand on there x
