Confused with reading ovulation strips

The test line has to be darker than the control line to indicate ovulation. There is normally always a second line on LH tests.

Oh okay @Olivia thank you!

@Olivia that is not true. Mine were not

The line does NOT have to be darker than the control!! Just use an app to log your tests! I barely had any LH at all but I still had a peak day and got pregnant!

I tend to use digitals when trying to conceive however I have also used test strips. The line typically had to be darker than the one you’ve pictured. So you have any ovulation symptoms normally?

@Tiffany that’s good news thank you !!

@Gemma I might buy digital as it’s confusing all these lines 😂 and sort of I have slight lower back pain which usually indicates ovulation however i usually get a lot of egg white discharge that’s what happened for my previous pregnancy that was the only indication of ovulation I never did testing however I have only had a very small amount of discharge so I thought I should try testing so I don’t miss it this month!!

Where did you get the ovulation tests that work with the app?? I keep seeing it posted but not sure what it is ?? @Tiffany

@Isabella yea I mean after my miscarriage I had the pain but no discharge and I definitely ovulated as I got pregnant again but sadly MC. My friend also gave me the pre mom easy@home tests so I am trying those out this month xx

@Gemma im sorry that would of been so hard ☹️ how long was your break between miscarriages if you don’t mind me asking x

@Isabella I left it one cycle between each miscarriage as recommended really by the GP. Didn’t make any difference anyway 🤍 xx

@Gemma are you still trying ? I hope you get your rainbow baby so soon 💖

@Isabella not at the moment chick. I miscarriage just over three weeks ago. I haven’t had a period yet. I’m also waiting for the fertility clinic so can’t get pregnant in the meantime, otherwise if I miscarry again, it’s going to cause more heartbreaks and reset the clock for waiting for the bloods etc xx

@Isabella thank you! We really hope to try again at some point this year! My little boy will be such a good big brother. Hope you get your rainbow baby too xx

Yea same I had my MMC 3 weeks 4 days ago and started trying 2 weeks after my D&c I couldn’t wait anymore and my doctor said it’s okay to start trying 2 weeks after so it’s all just a waiting game it’s so hard and very confusing 😕🫶🏻 @Gemma

I also have a beautiful boy who would be the best brother makes it both easier and harder at the same time !! So strange to me how my first pregnancy was so easy and now not so easy but seems it’s so common !

@Isabella yea, there’s nothing wrong with not waiting! They just said because my periods are longer, it would be easier to date the pregnancy but it doesn’t really matter much! I hope you catch with a sticky baby this time 🤞🏼🤞🏼 MCs are so much more common then we think or I ever expected really. I just want to make sure I’m as healthy as I can be with a 2 year old hanging off my leg 🤣 before we try for the next xx

@Isabella aww that’s so lovely 🤍 us boy moms are blessed! Yea same here, first pregnancy, first time pregnancy no issues etc … such a minefield xx
