OPK test help

I’ve been doing ovulation strips with my first morning wee but I’ve just read online using second morning week, or between 10-12 is best timing? Anyone tried both and can say if it was more accurate using a later wee?

18 dpo?

Anyone else not sure when they ovulated?? I tested LH and it “peaked” on 4/13 but I missed the absolute peak of it. (My LH reading got as high as 0.36, waited 9 hours and it was still 0.36) I’m not sure how far along I am, but this seems the most accurate.

Ovulation

I'm on my third cycle using ovulation tests and I still haven't had any positive results. I don't even get a t/c ratio reading. I'm really starting to worry that my body isn't ovulating. I'm 32 and close to panic mode. Any advice or next steps?

Hi everyone, I’m just starting to track ovulation. I’m new to tracking ovulation. What time of day is best to test? Is it true I should test twice a day when the line starts to get darker?

These are my 2 tests from today, I decided to test twice because I had the mild period type cramps in my tummy, back and hips which I always seem to get mid cycle. Looking at these tests would we say ovulation is near?

No LH surge but bfp?

Anyone struggled to find a surge in lh but still manage to get a bfp? I’m on day 14 & usually I’ve found my peak by now or atleast had a high on lh strips, I haven’t had a single thing this month. Could it be possible I’m not ovulating?

Positive ovulation?

Hey guys. First time using easy@home strips (used digital in the past but they are super expensive) is this a positive result? I don’t think so as the first line is meant to be darker right? Thanks in advance.

Ovulation after D&C

I very recently had a D&C to remove a small amount of retained pregnancy tissue. 2 days after I finally tested negative. After the 2 week recovery I plan to try again. But I was just wondering did anyone ovulate/get pregnant before their next cycle ?

Premom app

Hi all, I’m using Premom and the strip tests for the first time. Peaked at 1.76 on Friday, cramps on Saturday so assuming ovulation as the app indicates - now at DPO2 and the app still says “it’s time to baby dance, high chance today”. I thought after 24h post ovulation there was no chance, am I wrong or is the app ...
