Confused by OPK

[LB1710]

Hiya,

I came off the mini pill just under 6 weeks ago, I have just finished a 1/2day period yesterday. I thought I’ll try track ovulation to hopefully figure out when I might come on again. We do want babies however I’m mostly just trying to figure out my cycle again.

Can coming off the pill mess up OPK’s? Or is it normal for them to be somewhat dark at this point in my cycle? I know they’re not blazing or positive- but from a lot of other posts most people don’t stay dark still.

Any advice or knowledge would be well received!

thanks

Hi lovely, I would figure out what your baseline is so far, it looks like some days you are a bit high and some days less. Try and do them for the whole cycle this month to see if you get a rise or a pattern first. For ovulation it needs to be darker than the contrôl line x

Thanks so much for your response!

I was hoping doing the ovulation tests might help me understand but so far just more confused haha.

is it possible to just have a higher baseline? I’ll keep going for a month or two & hopefully find a pattern!

Yes it is possible
to have a higher baseline! If it’s constantly quite high maybe get some tests at your gp to check hormones levels but it very much varies from women to women :)
