OPK help please

[DoraBella88]

First time using OPK after MC and messed up cycles. I’ve gone from 28 day cycles to a 21 day then 35 day cycle so decided to try OPKs for the first time.

it says to test between 10am and 8pm. How do you do this when you’re at work before 10am? I tested yesterday but completely forgot about the test as we’re doing work on the house. The line was quite dark but it was 45mins after I did the test. So I did another soon after and the line was faint 🤷🏻‍♀️ so I discarded it.

I honestly feel quite lost with this and it doesn’t help that I’m currently cycle day 12 and for the past few days have been spotting quite bad 😭

Hi OP, opk testing is so time consuming, I personally do mine when I wake up and late afternoon after work. Don't worry too much about doing it at 10 am if it's inconvenient for you, as long as you do it twice a day you will catch your peak. I recommend the premom app to record them as well it's very useful. I hope it helps x

I've not long had a miscarriage, had a negative test last Thursday whilst bleeding, passed the remaining tissue the Sunday before. I had a few ovulation tests so thought I'd test every other day just to see if il ovulate before my period and got these readings. Plus only really took a test because I've had CM yesterday and quite abit this morning, the line has got darker since Tuesday so I'm hoping that's a sign. I'm on DC12 technically and I usually ovulate around day 14. The month I conceived we only DTD cycle day 11,12 and caught. But I know my body will probably be missed up due to the miscarriage

Thank you. I’m using the Premom app and I did my first one with fmu and the app told me off 😂 it is time consuming 🙈 I will test again soon and see what it says. I’m just so confused with my body right now 😭

Sorry to hear about your loss. TTC is such a rollercoaster. Good luck 🤞

I'm also using opks after a mc and with cycles that range between 28 and 36 days. I did them last month to figure out when I'd be on my period fir the forst time after the mmc and ovulated about day 16 if I remember correctly, but I had darkish ones until peak. This month is all out of whack and I can barely even see any line at cd14 so looks like a long one this month.

Like somebody else said, don't stress about the time so much. I do mine at about 8 am (2 hours after I've woken up but before I'm too busy the rest of the day) and then when the tests are getting darker I do one at about 5-7pm to catch the peak. ( normally my peak will show on the pm and the am after)

Thank you ladies. I’m so confused 😭
I’ve been having brown spotting and bleeding for the past 3 days with some clots. But it’s definitely brown and not red or pink. Obviously DH doesn’t exactly want to go there whilst it’s like that 🙈😂

I’ll attach my tests below. Have I missed it as they still seem low

Looks like you haven't peaked yet
