Is this peak ovulation???

Hi all me and my partner are trying to conceive and this is the second month I’m using ovulation strip tests. Can anyone give me their opinion on if this is a peak or maybe my peaks getting close as we’re desperate not to miss my peak day.

I also use apps to track my periods/ovulation days…the app flo predicts I’ll ovulate Monday 3rd and the app premum predicts I’ll ovulate Wednesday 5th but from the ovulation test results it looks like I’m more likely to ovulate Monday 3rd as it’s quite a strong positive. I also use the app premum to record my ovulation test results and the app says this test is high not peak but just wanted opinions.

This looks very very close, but not quite there yet. The test line needs to be as dark or darker than control. Mine looked like yours the day before I got my peak. Keep testing and I’m sure you’ll get your peak in the next couple of days. Good luck!

I think everyone's experience is different. I'm someone that would absolutely take that as a peak as in 7 months of testing this was about as dark as mine ever went. I've never seen a dye stealer or a darker test line than control!
Currently sat feeding DD who came about from that level as peak so get to it @MammaMia0

@Emalouise25111

Thank you for the help, when I got my peak last month the test line was a lot darker then the control line so I had a feeling this wasn’t my peak. I just done another test now hoping it’d be a peak as I’m estimated to have it today, but it’s still saying it’s high and not peak. Hopefully later today I’ll have a peak, yesterday the strip test was 0.80 and just now it’s 1.27 which is very high.

It's helpful to have sex in the run up to ovulation as well as on the actual day, as you then have sperm ready and waiting for the egg. An egg is only viable for 24 hours where sperm can live for up to 5 days.

Just keep having sex until your peak, and you'll be in the best position to get pregnant.

As long as the test line is the same colour as control or darker it's a positive opk,
