Peak or anovulatory cycle?

I am currently day 19 in my cycle and usually ovulate around day 14. I’ve had high fertility (flashing smiley on early clear blue ovulation tests) for 6 days now. Usually this would only be flashing for 2-3 days and then peak for a day, but peak still hasn’t arrived. I’ve followed the instructions of minimising liquids for 4 hours and testing after 12pm each day.
My cycle is always regular and usually 30 days. I’ve been TTC for a year and a half and this is the first time I haven’t seen a peak reading.
Could this be an anovulatory cycle or is it likely I’m still going to peak?!
Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and then had a positive pregnancy test?

Hey! I had a flashing smiley for 11 days then my period arrived a week early there and I usually have very regular periods so it was very strange for me, I think our bodies just play tricks on us sometimes lol! Keep testing yourself because I know someone who had flashing smileys until day 15 then they got their peak! 😊

That’s good to know that it’s still possible! I was wondering whether to keep testing or just stop for this cycle but I’ll keep going. And I’ll be prepared just in case my period arrives early 😅 thanks for responding! 😊

I ovulated day 18 last time (normally day 13) so it’s not too late, it could be round the corner! Also, I gave up on the clear blue smiley tests. Tried them along side cheap strip tests and found they flashed when my LH was still low (for about 5 days) and it went to a static smiley 2/3 days before I peaked so could have missed prime ovulation time. Strip tests are easier to see for comparisons and to actually determine when a rise may be happening. They’re worth a go and cheaper too! X

Oh that’s good to know! I did try the strip tests previously but I felt like they weren’t clear enough to confirm when I had peaked. I was using it alongside the Natural Cycles app and the app couldn’t determine that it was a peak result too so I started using digital ones to avoid confusion. Maybe the strip tests I had weren’t that great as I hadn’t tried another brand. Which ones do you use? 😊

I just used Wandfo from Amazon. There isn’t a designated app but just gauged it each day to determine if the line looked dark enough or was seemingly getting darker. You could probably used them alongside other apps though! X

thank you. I’ll give them a go and hopefully they’re better than the other ones I’d used.

thank you. I’ll give that app a go 😊

Am I pregnant?

I lightly spotted almost 5 days ago, which is not common for me before my period.
My period was supposed to come today. I should have tested in the morning but its 5:30pm.
Is there a second line??

Anyone have this happen before?

We were not trying to conceive, used protection and had sex on week 2 of my cycle (accidentally on my peak ovulation day). Week 3 we had Flu A. Week 4 my period did not come (it’s very regular). I tested and it was negative (2 different brands).
What should have been week 2 of my next cycle (now 6 weeks post last period), I had light red/ pink spotting for one day when I wiped. The following week, I tested again, still negative, but this time almost all the dye was in the negative space, which I’ve never seen happen before. The area where it shows one horizontal line for negative and a plus sign for positive, the horizontal line was super faded at the 3 minute mark, and the negative vertical line in the next window was VERY dark. Now I’m on week 8 of all this, period did not show up yesterday. Nothing in my life has changed (no additional stress, no other illness, no changes in diet or exercise, etc).

Has anyone gone through this and NOT been pregnant? I’m super nervous as we thought we were done having kids.

PS. I know I should go get a blood test, does anyone know if urgent care will do that? I’m past being convinced by a pee test.

Help pls

I'm 7 weeks pp. Not had sex or even done anything but my tests have come back positive. I wouldnt test but had symptoms of pregnancy so I tested. What does this mean? Google says it should have been negative at this stage unless its a new pregnancy or bits of placenta has been left behind. I had a c section so 🤷‍♀️

Is it normal to test positive still? (Wouldn't usually do one)

Not the best pic and clearer in person. Is this normal? I've not had any sex since having my LO but I've had strong cravings, sense of smell is strong and my hair still hasnt started to fall out. Im 7 weeks pp so 🤷‍♀️ I wouldnt normally bother testing but with those symptoms that I never really have its like whats going on. Cravings for something very specific too and can only get from KFC now 😩 so its annoying

Can baby mamas be friends?

My son has an older brother from his biodad. Biodad has never had contact with my son. One thing lead to another though and the other child's mother and I got in contact and are planning a meeting for the boys. Biodad has no idea any of this has happened. Biodad also hasnt had contact with the other child in about 2 years. Just thoughts, opinions, anyone been through something similar?
Edit-Thank you all! Have definitely been feeling somewhat weird about it because we never met before but now know it can be a good thing definitely helps. I can't wait for them to meet. My son has been asking for a brother and I can now happily tell him he has one. That just happens to be 13. Im sorry for yall that fight/have issues with the other baby mamas. Sadly some women rather be stuck on the men, when the kid is the one who really matters. They're the ones that end up getting hurt and missing out.

Ovulation test

Please please someone clarify if this test is positive. Im pretty sure it is but Im in disbelief at the minute I haven’t ovulated in 8 months. I feel like crying lol. When is the best time to have sex?
