OPK help.

Hello all,

I wonder if anyone can give me some advice. We’re ttc for number 2 for last 10months. Had an ectopic in November.

This month I decided to use OPK. I had planned to start taking them CD10 of my 27 day cycle. In the last year my cycle has been a bit irregular at times but on the whole it’s 27/28 days.

This cycle on CD9 I had some pink ewcm spotting. So I thought that’s odd for me. So out of curiosity I did OPK and it came back positive.

CD10 I had a litttle. It more spotting and more ewcm and a positive OPK.

Every day since I’ve had a positive OPK. I’ve taken test in the morning around 6am and in the evening around 6pm every day. On a couple of occasions I’ve taken it at 4am when I’ve woken during the night.

Yesterday I even thought it could be a dodgy batch but I did two extra tests from different batches and the results were the same.

Any ideas what this could be. When did I ovulate or haven’t I?

My photo is from last night but this morning is the same

Any help greatly appreciated x

When was your last period? I don’t know for sure or from experience but I have read that ovulation tests can double up as pregnancy tests. It does look like you ovulated though. You can have positive tests for days when testing so I don’t think you can pin point it to the day exactly x

Ok so quite early to know whether your pregnant. I’d say you were definitely ovulating then x

Thanks Hopful85. Maybe I just need to wait now. So annoying not knowing what DPO I am.

No worries good luck starting that 2 week wait. Do you use any ttc apps? Ovia is a really good one. You can enter lists of details and track you ovulation. Once you have enough data it will help you figure out your ovulation patterns xx

I’m using Flo. Every time I put in that I’ve had a positive OPK it pushes my dates further back.

all the lines are so dark. Could be worth doing a pregnancy test just to check. When i was using the same strips id have 2/3 days build up starting off really light, then very dark which meant it's time for 1 day then no second line at all. X

Yes in the past I’ve had faint then a dark then back to faint. This cycle it’s just been solid dark the whole time !

If I go from my spotting, ewcm and very first OPK then today is 10dpo.

Wish there was a way to find out what it all means ! The tww is hard enough but not knowing what day to start counting from is worse.!

OPK detect HCG so can detect a pregnancy. This has happened to me before and I was pregnant. I’d say get a test ASAP. Betting you’re pregnant x

you most probably got pregnant on your last cycle and what you had wasn't a real period. X
