Crap Ebay tests or not ovulating?

[turtle23]

Bought the Ebay cheapies, which have always served me well, but this lot seem very pale. The control line is very pale and can barely see second line, even though I should be by now. Can't take temps as have baby who never lets me sleep long enough. Mucous has been near non-existent since having LO(still BF, he is 10 months) but have been ovulating on day 17 of 31 day cycle for 8 months. Should I worry that I've stopped ovulating or just keep BDing and hope for the best?
This is month 4 of trying.

after dc1 my cervical mucus went to zero, we used pre seed a lubricant that helps the sperm travel from access diagnostics.

another way to find out you are ov other than temps/sticks/monitor is a day 21 progesterone blood test, your doc can arrange this quite easily if you are worried. but maybe try a month of clearblue digi ov sticks that spell out for you rather than ebay cheapies?

hope this helps.

good luck!

newmum-Yes, did think I should splash out and uy the real ones...Have 4 boxes of preseed!!! Thanks!
