Positive ovulation test?

[Gmhshop]

Hi ladies,

I need a positive ovulation test and progesterone bloods done before clinic will do a natural FET next cycle (all being well!)

Is this a positive?? Not sure about these cheap tests.... If so, when would be the best day to book progesterone blood test? Xx

Hi!

I used cheapy ovulation test sticks for just over 2 years, previously so have a basic understanding of them.

I'd say this test looks nearly positive! The batch I used stated that the test line (line on the left, furthest away from the green) needs to be darker than or equal to the control line. I know some women don't get super strong lines on opks but for me it would build & build then I'd get a super dark line, darker than the control. Tbh it took a few months to test and learn how my body responded & what to look out for. Sorry I don't have any info to offer to help with the progesterone test but I'm sure someone else will reply to help!!

Wishing you lots of luck with your upcoming FET xx

Thank you! I have a couple of posh test sticks from boots but saving them for tomorrow morning 😂

I know everyone is different but for me that looks like my tests tend to look just before (perhaps the day before) it gets darkest. I have used the cheapo ones for ages and found them ok. Although it did take me a bit to get the hang of them. For me I tend to first get the darkest line in the evening but only spotted this when I started testing am & pm. I’m sorry I’m not sure about the progesterone tests. Best of luck with your FET xx

Thank you - hopefully it’ll be stronger tomorrow 🤞

I would say not just yet but getting there.

I would say not yet. Have you done another tonight. I reckon you're not far off. For me I can go from this to a few hours later to a raging positive where the test line is darker than the control line.xx

I have just done another one and slightly stronger - hopefully tomorrow 🤞

Get yourself some clearblue digital ovulation tests as they eliminate any guesswork. Don’t get the ones that show “peak” etc just the ones that give you a clear result with a solid smiley for a positive xx

The progesterone blood test for ovulation is usually done on 'day 21' but it will vary if your cycle is longer or shorter - book it 7 days before your period is due. Best of luck xx

Progestogen test is also known as 21 day bloods....but if you don't ovulate regularly then you need to count 7days from the day you ovulate (you peek day)
