Positive or not quite yet?

Had sex at 1am this morning. Should I aim for tomorrow more than 24 hours later rather than sex again tonight? Just really fancy some πŸ˜†

@WF1990 Yeah im feeling okay thank you, it doesn't seem to have risen at all yet to be honest πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ not sure if it's instant or it takes a few days. We will see.
Oooh thats good with the b6 anything is worth a shot isn't it πŸ™‚

@EmPeEf that is positive but I'd sat you haven't hit peak as the test line will me much darker than the control line so you may have another day or two before ovulation. But it's good to have sperm waiting (they live up to 5 days inside) and then have sex once you hit peak too and the day after if your in the mood as you cover all bases then!

WF1990 · 12/08/2025 10:16

i hope it rises soon @Lh4503!

@EmPeEfid say not quite yet. ! Probably tonight !! This is mine from this morning, we DTD Sunday afternoon, so we will tonight and tomorrow but with the heat I’m not THAT motivated πŸ˜‚

@WF1990 ooooh your peaking! 😁 get a fan out 🀣

Well good old chat GPT made me feel better. Apparently BBT needs to be above the pre ovulation baseline which i am according to this graph so that's a good thing 🀞

Honestly what would we do without chat GPT 🀣 it told me to start b6 on 1 dpo as b6 can actually repress oestrogen before ovulation, and let’s hope it does help with my progesterone ! I am due to ovulate tomorrow, meaning that my 7 dpo test will be on 20 August !

@WF1990 Honestly I feel like im more calm this month because of chat GPT, I'd be lost without it! πŸ™ˆ

Hoping it works for you! 🀞 good luck with DTD the next day or so espin this heat!

Well I'm 3DPO today, nothing really to report, few cramps here and there but that is all.

I actually had a lighter test in the middle of the night and similar this morning. I actually did two E@H I was so surprised to not get a darker one. So wondering if that was actually my peak.

CD17, which is a little later for me compared to previous months, but I did count CD1 from first bleeding during a chemic pregnancy, so may be a little earlier. Another lower test from a super concentrated wee but I’ll keep testing, and I track my BBT so I’ll be able to see if it rises or not in the next few days πŸ‘πŸ»

Lh4503 · 12/08/2025 17:47

@EmPeEf It looks like your using different brands of tests? They will be slightly different as the amount of LH they measure will be different i believe. I used a new brand and tried a one step and one step was wayyyyy lighter even at my peak it never got dark. This cycle for some reason mine went dark and lighter then darker again. But I was unwell.

Usually each cycle I test each night at 6pm with the same brand. Time of day can vary it too as I did it twice a day this time and it confused me more.

I used the same brand at every testing. My peak was yesterday.

Ahh okay apologies I got confused with the test strip post.

Insidemyownhead · 12/08/2025 23:25

AF arrived today, so I’m out this month, onto cycle 3 I guess 🀞🏻 hope everyone else is doing well 🫢🏻

WF1990 · 13/08/2025 07:57

Morning girls, @Insidemyownheadso sorry af arrived ! 🫢🏽
@EmPeEfhas the lH gone down? If it has definitely count this as your peak, sometimes as long as you see a peak doesn’t matter how dark it is.

im having ovulation pains, I started vitamin b6 this morning as it’s supposed to support the luteal phase and progesterone production so let’s hope !

Yep, totally down this morning. And I think my temp has already started to rise. 0.2 higher than yesterday although annoyingly I didn’t temp enough over the last two weeks to establish a base line yet. But I’m thinking I’m 1dpo now.

Sounds like you’re not far off being it either! 🀞🏻

WF1990 · 13/08/2025 15:59

Perfect !! πŸ‘ŒπŸΌ
im 1 dpo tomorrow hehe, today is ovulation day for me, been having cramps on left side all night and morning which tallies with last month right side.
next Wednesday I’ll pop to the hospital for my 7dpo test, we shall see if progesterone is better this time! I hope so

Hi ladies apologies I’ve been MIA as I’ve been on holiday. Sorry AF arrived @Insidemyownheadand good luck to those in the TWW.

This will be my first month using LH strips, going to start today at CD10

WF1990 · 13/08/2025 20:29

@EllieWalesi hope you had a fantastic holiday !
good luck with the opks! My advice would be to test morning evening, cause a peak can be so short, here’s mine if that helps !
ovulation day today for me, I’m going to try and keep busy during this 2WW !

@WF1990thanks for sharing ☺️ my line was faint this morning but I’ll try again tonight and then twice a day, I can see from yours how quickly the peak came and went! Keeping everything crossed for you and I’ll be here egging you on when the TWW is driving you round the bend 🀣

WF1990 · 14/08/2025 09:38

@EllieWalesim sure you will find your peak ! You might even notice that sometimes it doesn’t align 100% with the EWCM , sometimes it comes a bit later !
omg don’t, 1DPO today, I’m taking my b6 vitamins religiously to see if It helps with my LP as I started spotting from 9dpo last month ! 🀞🏼
I’m totally fine and busy now, but rest assured that I will be insane from 7 dpo 🀣🀣

OP posts:
Lh4503 · 14/08/2025 13:14

I'm 5dpo today not feeling too crazy at the moment 🀣 I'm sure by early next week I will be though.

Hope everyone's doing okay πŸ™‚

EllieWales · 14/08/2025 16:01

@WF1990 I had EWCM earlier today but still low on the LH strips. I always thought EWCM meant ovulation but guess I was wrong πŸ™ˆ I hope the vitamins help and hopefully your progesterone test this month gives you some answers.

@Lh4503 the first week isn’t so bad for me either, I find the second week is when I get delulu 🀣 keeping everything crossed for us this month

WF1990 · 14/08/2025 16:03

@Lh4503ill ne joining the delulu bus in 6 days 🀣

@EllieWalesyou can definitely DTD during EWCM ! But sometimes the peak comes a few days after EWCM started !

OP posts:
Lh4503 · 14/08/2025 16:27

@WF1990 @EllieWales Yes ive notices i get EWCM before I ovulate and I always assumed thats when I happened but actually im a bit later.

My LH doesn't seem to peak that quickly it gets very gradually darker each day and then stays pretty dark for a day or so after.

Keeping everything crossed for us this month ladies πŸ₯°
