Ovulation test

I took an ovulation test yesterday and could barely see the test line so we decided to have sex, took another test today and it’s like this, what’s the chances that we will conceive, took two more and they’re all like this.
My cycles are ridiculously long (currently on day 112 of this cycle)

Ovulation happening / happened

So bit of a back story this cycle up until now I haven’t tested for LH I was just winging it going off with CM but today I thought I’ll just do one to see and it’s came up super high 1.41 and is going down. Do you think ovulation is happening right now or has happened going off these strips below? EWCM has gone now. Had unprotected sex on Thursday and at 12:30am yesterday morning ( Sunday )

First cycle of ttc

I ovulated on the 30th and I’m not sure if im seeing a line? One was in the morning and the other in the evening. Posted another test in the comments

Missed LH surge

Has anyone ovulation testing using LH red dye strips missed their LH surge? Or does it mean I've not ovulated this month?

For the last 5 months I have always had a 'peak' reading on cycle day 13, of around 1.5/1.6. This month my highest reading was 0.5 which was my reading on days 12 and 13 of my cycle. Now day 14 and my LH numbers are dropping again and premom saying I'm now in 2ww.

I'm wondering if it's because my peak perhaps happened over night and I just didn't test at the right time to catch it? Or it's because I've not ovulated at all.

Ovulation after a baby

Hiya, I am 10months postpartum, and tracking ovulation ready to try for baby number two and I was just wondering if anyone else has had a peak ovulation test last for 5 days
Thank you ❤️

8/10dpo, chance of a false positive??

Flo predicted my ovulation was May 1st, next period May 16th, earliest test date May 11th with a 6 day early test.
But I believe I ovulated 2 days early, which would make today May 9th, 10dpo. It's not just me that sees a faint line right? What are the chances of a false positive at this point? 😱 This would be my 2nd 💘

TTC

Decided to use the clear blue strips this month and I hit the solid smiley face today.
I never quite know for sure, but can ovulation : pre ovulation feel like a stich?

How many days past ovulation did you test?

I am day 9 today and still negative 😭 was really hoping for a Jan 27 baby

Line eyes?

13DPO according to my flo app. Losing hope 🫩 My first 2 babies I got pregnant like IMMEDIATELY first try so I’m feeling discouraged. I think maybe I ovulated later than flo predicted though or maybe just hoping.

Has anyone tested negative at 13DPO and still been pregnant?

Is this a positive ovulation test.?

positive ovulation test? I literally drank water like an hour before too🤣 so this means my ovulation is within the next 24hrs? Ive also felt today like 100% coming on my period but its just like water down there🤣🤣 We babydanced yesterday morning would that be viable or shall we also do it tonight and tomorrow?

When can I test for pregnancy

I came on 9th April finished on the 13th April on my period had my ovulation on the 23,24,25 when can I test please, I’m getting a bit of belly see through on the tissue as well

November or December

So I just went in for my ultrasound and I always ovulate late in reality. I should be November 27 if you go by my period But as of today I’m measuring behind by a week which is not shocking but now I’m considered December 1. Do I stay in this group or the other or do I go to both? Lol I get another ultrasound when I’m 12week To really tell. This will be my fourth ultrasound due to having to go to infertility dr twice and now they transferred me over to an OB. insurance is gonna love me. 🙄😭 picture of my little bean lol so it doesn’t get lost.

Help please!!

I’m confused, it doesn’t seem like I’ll have a peak this month? It’s usually around cd14-15. I had a mmc in January and have had 2 normal periods since. PreMom says it’s ovulation day today so I’ll bd just in case. Ant advice please?

Due date estimates?

Okay so don't think me crazy but I have been tracking like every single day. My husband and I were having sex mainly around my ovulation but I think I may have had a double ovulation. I have PCOS so it's actually common to have two spikes. I was looking at our tracker and making estimates with the numbers I have for the blood HCG. I am almost certainly going to be due on Christmas Eve 🎄 🫠 I think I conceived like April 1st or 2nd. Which would put me at Christmas Eve due date wise.
But an ultrasound can confirm. Just waiting for that. Does anyone else have something similar?

Can you see anything here?

Had intercourse 10 days ago is that too early to tell (on my first fertile day I think?) 2 apps say diff things

Cyst at baseline scan

Has anyone had a cyst at their IVF baseline scan? They have carried out an oestrogen test and apparently I can continue with this cycle but it’s made me a bit nervous 👀
