Ovulation test line progression

[EstelleK88]

Hello 👋🏻 so I’ve been OT since CD 10 on 7th August and I’m just not really seeing much progression with the line darkening. It’s getting darker but still negative. I am an irregular girly, so I guess I might just ovulate later depending when my next period will happen, but it’s really getting me down now 😞 just looking for some advice or encouragement to keep going. Thank you 🫶🏻

Since CD10 this month it was 11 tests for me to get my peak, and they only started getting darker a couple of tests before that. I think a healthy cycle is low and then the sudden peak, so don’t give up hope everything is working normally x

Thank you for your reply. So I got a pretty dark line this morning and then this afternoon it was lighter? Have I missed it? Is it usually that quick? I don’t know if I started testing too early, I feel like I’m just getting disheartened 😞 I do have a 2 and a half year old and I do feel like it was easier to track last time, but I am older I guess (I’m 37 now) xx

Yeah, especially if it might have been darker earlier than that and was already tailing off.

Well I’ve tested again this morning at the same time and it’s darker again but still not as dark as the control line, but darker than the one yesterday evening!! 🙄I’m so confused xx
