Is this positive?? Opinions please ladies x

[Summertime]

So first cycle using OPKs each day, started after AF line got darker until CD11 but not quite as dark as control line, then no line at all after that. Today CD20 and this morning got dark line but not quite as dark as co troll so think still negative?? Will test again later today.

Had spotting yesterday at CD19 so thought AF starting, all very confusing! Appreciate anyone's opinions x

Not positive but looks like it's getting there. How many times a day do you test and when? I used to test around afternoon time and then again at night. It's not recommended to try first thing in the morning and also should be more than once a day as you can easily miss your peak! How long are your cycles normally? Xx

Just read your other post. It's difficult to work out when ovulation will be when your cycles haven't quite normalised from the pill. If it's only your second month I'd recommend you put the opks away and just have regular sex while your body regulates. Doctors and consultants say DTD every 3 days is more than enough to ensure you're covered. Starting around cd10 every 3 days until day 25 will definitely cover you. Don't stress yourself with opks at this point and just enjoy the trying process xx

Hi thanks for your reply, yes we are bd'ing every other day regardless of what the sticks say just doing OPKs really to see if ovulating but not doing them multiple times a day and forget some days so might be more hassle than worth at this stage! xx

It most likely is hun. I had bloods to check I was ovulating and the month I had a blazing stonker of a positive bloods showed I didn't ovulate and the month I barely got a positive was the month bloods showed I did. I would definitely say at this stage they aren't worth doing and cause you more stress xx
