First time tracking ovulation. I’m so confused!! Please help

I’m starting to feel like I won’t reach a peak according to my period tracker ovulation should be today but still haven’t reached a peak? Even though I’ll feel like the lines are pretty close in color the app says otherwise.

Are you uploading your test into the ovulation category? And i would say to just keep testing

IMO use the “premom” app instead, for starters. Cause 10 and 11 look high to me. Not peak but high, like you’re getting close. And the ovulation predictions won’t always be dead on either. I was tracking my ovulation when I got pregnant but the month I actually got pregnant I didn’t think it was possible cause I never got a peak reading that month…while I was testing, anyway. With my cycle length my dr said to come into the office for blood work if I hadn’t ovulated by cycle day 21 (I have 34-36 day cycles) and I hadn’t. So I went in for bloodwork and she said I didn’t even come CLOSE to ovulating that month but I had stopped testing at home after I got the bloodwork and apparently I wound up ovulating around cycle day 30. So it IS possible to ovulate late. Personally, in the 4-ish months I was tracking ovulation before I got pregs, there were 2 months where I “didn’t ovulate” so I thought, but obviously I did, just late. My point being, you may ovulate late this month, so I advise

Keep testing all the way til you have your period or until you get a peak. But once your period comes, if it hasn’t came yet, then I’d count yourself out for that cycle obviously.

So I just got my first positive this morning 1.56 ! Not sure if this is peak but I’ll keep testing

But good luck honey! Keep tracking and stay positive and hopeful and you’ll be blessed with your lil miracle before you know it! I look forward to reading your pregnancy announcement when that time comes!! 🤰🏼🤞🏼🙏🏼🫶🏼

looks like this could possibly be your peak which would mean that you will ovulate 24-36 hours later after peak. But i would keep testing to see if the line gets darker or lighter

I also would recommend testing twice a day as the surge can be really quick and easy to miss. They say usually second pee for the morning test and then one in the late afternoon/early evening.

Yea I tested again after my lunch and now it’s reading 2.06 and the test line is darker than the control line! So I’m thinking I’ll reach peak today and possible ovulate tomorrow 🤞🏽

it’s gotten darker since this morning. Now it’s reading 2.06

sounds like your peak will be today and ovulation will be within 24-36 hrs after

Thank you all for your help, I was so confused on how this works

Avatar

So now seeing as i am mostly likely going to peak today should I try tonight or tomorrow?

Avatar

Pregnancy chances

Had unprotected sex while ovulating used pull out method only one time we had sex
Period was due yesterday ( on the Flo app I. Know not 100% accurate)
I took a pregnancy test for the past 4 days including today in the morning all definitely negative
I think the absolute stress of this incident since it happened has caused me stress so is it likely it’s just stress delaying my period?

I think I see something

Hey please dont judge the sink it know its dirty and covered in water I cleaned it today haha but this was last night at 9dpo. With my twins I got a positive on 9 dpo but I had twins with fertility treatments this time its all me. I think I see something. I didn't test today because my husband left for work for 8 months so didn't really feel like seeing if I was pregnant before crying my eyes out haha. But I think I see something let me know what you think.

I am Excited and staying optimistic

I have has 4 miscarriages in the last year and a bit and as such have been absolutely excited by the idea of this being my rainbow baby, one of mine was a blighted ovum seen at 12 weeks, so with this one i get to have an early scan on Friday to check that is is progressing correctly, i am nervous and really hoping this one sticks and isn't a case of another blighted Ovum. My tests have been great so far, i got my first positive between 6-4days before my period and it was a faint but clearly obvious positive and i tested again the next day just to be sure and then every 2-3 days after and have LOVED the progression. Got a dye stealer at around 5 weeks. Just want some good luck.
