I’m so nervous about missing my fertile window this cycle i’m CD 10 atm and my partner is working loads over the next few weeks so it’s gonna be hard to BD on time as i’ll probably walk asleep by the time he’s back:/

Does anyone know if you lh test do your tests gradually get darker everyday leading up to ovulation or is it just a sudden really dark test? I’m trying to line it up with my cm as well so I don’t end up missing my fertile days before ov but I don’t get much some months sometimes only two days worth

I seem to have quite a quick peak but some people are slower.

I went off CM and the tests, as well as the fact i usually ovulate around day 16 - 18.

We DTD the weds based on CM, got a positive OPK on the Friday and we DTD then too.

Here’s what mine looked like:

Hi can I join the chat 🙏

Im 7/8 dpo and finding it hard not to symptom spot and I’m driving myself crazy because I want to test.
I had mild cramping yesterday and today I don’t usually get this with my period starting so it is a little bit unusual but I could just be overthinking everything x

EmPeEf · 10/07/2025 14:28

@amey44 mine has done similar to Musbroom’s over the same sort of time duration, but I would have described mine as gradual rather than quick. Seen a steady increase testing a few times a day. So I’m not sure whether it’s fast or not 😅 I guess actually looking at it it went up quite quickly in just the one day.

@Mushroo@EmPeEfoh ok that makes me feel better I was getting worried as mine went from 0.53 after my period to now 0.18 this morning (CD 10) I will test later though as my evening tests seem to be darker. I hope I don’t ovulate rlly late this cycle cuz it’s already feeling so long aha🙃

Ec2808 · 10/07/2025 15:20

@boredinmy30s will post it here don't think I can send it any other way 😂
really hoping for a temp rise tomorrow

@boredinmy30s I’m good thanks! Also exhausted - I’m now 5/6 DPO… just waiting game now but no particular symptoms or anything!
how are you, and where about are you now DPO?

SureLook · 10/07/2025 19:54

@amey44 mine is also a quick peak too. Just shoots up!

@ThisRareCat welcome and good luck ❤️

peanutForever · 10/07/2025 20:44

Hey ladies just an update a gestational sac was clearly visible on the scan today, im on cyclogest now and its stopped the bleeding, epu want me under their care and have recommend regular scans until my dating scan to keep an eye on me, so very reassuring.

Mushroo · 10/07/2025 20:53

@peanutForever thats amazing news! You must be very relieved

ChaE05 · 10/07/2025 21:19

@peanutForeverthis is amazing news ❤️

ChaE05 · 10/07/2025 21:20

Ladies that BBT...I'm going to give it a go for this cycle. Any information on it? Do i take it every day of my cycle and what am I looking for around ovulation? X

Howtonamechange · 10/07/2025 21:21

@peanutForeverSuch fab news. Hope it's a sticky little peanut

@ThisRareCat welcome and good luck ❤️

Really aha it seems quite common then I was hoping i’d see a steady rise so we could make sure we bd enough a few days prior 🙃

My tests today were 0.18 this morning then 0.53 tonight! So now im even more confused? I’ve been looking at peoples test progression online and it seems that once it gets to 0.4 their peak is the next day or few days? i’m only CD 10 though and my app predicts i’ll ovulate the 18th? I have been having slight cramps today though even though no ewcm. Everything is just confusing ttc🥲🤣

Ec2808 · 10/07/2025 21:26

@ChaE05bbt just confirms ovulation happened but doesn’t predict when it’s going to happen unless you temp for a couple of months and notice certain trends ☺️ best to do is temp everyday in the morning before getting up out of bed..also track lh if you want to pinpoint ovulation ☺️ after lh peak count 24 hours for ovulation and then look for 3 consecutive days of higher temps ☺️

ForGiddyDreamer · 10/07/2025 21:35

Spotting has started for me this evening so I expect cycle day 1 tomorrow. And on we go... Cycle 5 since the mc, 4 from the chemical 🤞

EmPeEf · 10/07/2025 21:48

@peanutForever thats fantastic news.

@ChaE05 get a two decimal place thermometer and take it after your biggest sleep chunk. My is nearly always at the same time of the day, but it’s not the morning. However, I still see a pattern.

peanutForever · 10/07/2025 21:49

Thanks the prog will stop the bleeding but fingers crossed little still continues to develop x

EmPeEf · 10/07/2025 21:55

Latest test is still getting darker so I should hold off from sex tonight, right? To try SMEP? Last sex was early yesterday so partner is “recharging” and I want to try and time it well.

Would you say once you get a lighter LH strip you’re fairly certain to be within the 24 hours window of OV?

@peanutForever that is amazing news. I'm delighted to hear that.

@amey44 my last peak I went from 0.35 to 1.42 in about 14 hours. I would go by your EWCM as your body is the greatest indicator. You could try BD every second day anyway, if you can manage that 🤪

@EmPeEf I don't know if it's just me but I think the test line looks darker than the control line. I would definitely BD tomorrow and test again 🤞🏻

FarAwayBird · 10/07/2025 23:34

I’ve been meaning to say, for anyone who wants to temp but has no self discipline, I’d def recommend the Oura ring. Does it for you. It’s kind of pricey but I got mine as a consolation treat to myself last period 😂

I’ve not got ewcm yet so i’m gonna see what my test looks like tomorrow I ended up testing again and my lh was reading as 0.58 in the app so it’s going up. We do try to bd every other day but my partners working a lot for the next month like all day and coming back very late at night so it’s quite hard to feel up to it some days and i’m also possibly supposed to be going to stay with family soon but don’t want to arrange that for on my fertile times lol😬

EmPeEf · 11/07/2025 00:55

I actually don’t have any EWCM yet at all which has worried me slightly. It’s thin, watery and completely clear. Maybe it’s just further up I don’t know.

EmPeEf · 11/07/2025 06:32

Okay. Don’t think I need to question if/when I ovulate again. Intense, painful bloating, nausea and diarrhoea symptoms. I can hardly move! How am I supposed to BD today??

I apologise for clogging up the threads so much lately with this cycle, but I got lucky and feel I got some answers after my post chemical confusion. So hopefully I can chill out more in future! And finally managed to record an LH peak 🥰
