Thanks hun. I put my pic of my opks on another pregnancy forum and someone said they looked like her ones when she wasn't ovulating.

Feeling a bit bummed out.

Hey Miss J,

Hope you're ok,

Try not to worry you might be ok but I have said before that it would be well worth getting a CD21 test done.

CD21 tests for Progesterone where as the OPKs test for LH the hormone that surges prior to OV.

Speak to the docs and they will advise you when in your cycle you will need the test, I have mine on CD 31 of a 38 day cycle.

You would need to have yours either 7 days after your LH surge (Positive OPK) or 7 days before the end of your usual cycle.

I know that may be difficult to pinpoint so your doctor may do what mine did and do 2 or 3 tests to try and get the correct reading.

I know you might not want to go down this route but I think it will be better for you to know where you stand rather than the heartache of BFNs all the time.

If you're not OVing you can fix things easily with different hormone tablets so don't worry if that does end up being the case.

Keep on doing the OPK as you never know your surge may still be to come, I have the same OPKs and my surge is as dark as the control line if that helps, I'll put you a pic on tomorrow and I should have a negative one to show you then too as my surge should be over then.

Hiya girls.

M2A - No I haven't done that, will do though when I do my next ov test - yesterday's seemed to dry a bit darker yesterday so feeling more confused. x

Maybe - Thanks hun, will bear it in mind, hubby and I wanted to use the ov sticks just for one cycle and see if it helps, if it doesn't and I get the dreaded AF visit, we'll be looking at using Agnus Castus and probably popping back to the docs. x

 

[Mummy2Adam]

Starting to sound very confusing hunny, might be worth puting all your darkest ones together to see if any are even a shade darker.
Hopefully you wont need to (my fingers and toes are crossed) but maybe next cycle it might be worth getting some different opks, ones that are easier to read as quite alot of people have trouble reading these ones x x

I did that last night and to be honest, CD19 looks the darkest. Will try and get a pic but they never look as dark in the pic as they do in RL.

I even started thinking they were signalling pregnancy slap then reminded myself my cycles aren't so kind as to be so short.

You never know hunny, have you took a hpt? I know it wouldnt add up with cd19 as you would only be 9dpo today but worth a go x x

[MissJuly10]

Would it only be 9dpo? Today is CD32. Not sure how you count dpo anyways lol. x x

 

[Mummy2Adam]

Ignore that last comment its me being stupid
You would be 13dpo, if ov happened on cd19! Im starting to think you could be right about maybe it could be picking up pregnancy hormones, take a test hunny x x

Eeeeek. Preparing myself for BFN because I reckon it's way too good to be true. A short cycle AND picking up early pregnancy? Hmmmmm. I'm very, very doubtful hun. x x

I can feel V. V. mild crampy feelings but they're so mild they're practically non-existant lol. x x

 

[Mummy2Adam]

Fingers and toes crossed for you hunny x x

Thanks hun. Are cheapies best to use in the morning or evening? I think I'll continue with my ov tests cos I'm not convinced CD19 was it, seems too early for me to have ovulated. Anyways, if I did ovulate on CD19, I'd be 14dpo tomorrow so AF would be due any day right? So if AF doesn't turn up then I didn't ovulate...?

I think I'm babbling now lol. x x

Hey MissJuly

Hope you girlies had a lovely christmas, i've not been on so have lots to catch up on

hmm, MissJuly none of them are a def positive but bear in mind that not all women get a line as dark as control. I've not had one as dark but i'm obiously ovulating because i got pregnant so i think these cheapies somtime don't work.

If the witch arrives this month i'm going to invest in some branded ones!

[Mummy2Adam]

With any test its best to use fmu but if you have got a few cheapies its up to you
Just copied this from a website, hope this helps: The second half of the cycle is called the luteal phase and is from the day of ovulation until the next period begins. The luteal phase has a more precise timeline and usually is only 12-16 days from the day of ovulation. This ultimately means that the day of ovulation will determine how long your cycle is x x

Nurse26 - Thanks hun, I had a fab christmas ta, hope you've enjoyed the festivities too. Well, I guess only time will tell what's happened eh? Square one, here I come. x x

M2A - Thanks for the info, I've just been looking up anovulatory cycles etc but stopped cos I didn't want to get it in my head that there's something wrong lol. Will see what today's ovulation test reveals. x x
