@Emmy012 if I had to guess I'd guess you'll get your positive opk tomorrow. My temp drops then the next day I get a positive opk then the next day I ovulate and then my temp rises high. Not everyone gets a dip before ovulation but you might be lucky and be the same. Sometimes my opks go from 0 to peak. I'm not one to get a gradual rise of LH. It comes in like a wrecking ball
@PinkSnow410 Thanks so much lovely, I'm sticking with it! I've been getting little rises for the last few days but nothing noticeable, I only seem to get a reading early evening too, afternoons are always negative.x
@Emmy012itsso fascinating how different our bodies are!! I only get high opks between 10am and 2pm. Just another thing that makes ttc difficult, we are all so different
Well my cm was creamy today n that's the step before watery which is during ov so I figured they'd b brighter by now like last month.....I don't ovulate til the 30th though
@MadDoda 🤗 I just adore you and all the ladies here! I feel horrid about staying away so much, it's just such a busy time. @Catlady220 I can totally see why you'd be concerned, but don't stress hun. LH levels might not be the same each month and might not have the same concentration leading up to the peak. Hormones change so easily based off our sleep, diets, and stress levels so try not to compare your opks month to month because they can be totally inconsistent and that doesn't mean you aren't healthy or something is wrong. Just unreliable in that way. The tests are really positive/negative and not quantitative at all. Just keep going and BD a lot and try to be kind to yourself thru this process bc ttc is hard and you deserve some kindness
@PinkSnow410 You and @MadDoda have helped me keep sane so much. You are both wonderful and the ladies of this group are amazing. I'm so glad I decided to join so many months ago, the information shared is so valuable and I don't think I'd have kept my cool without you all. 💕
@Kazam2817 we are almost there!! How you holding up? Read further up you feel AF is on the way, I have my fingers and toes crossed for you!
Anyone else testing this week?
@Tryingfor#1 I think there’s a few this week. I got confused and thought it was yesterday, but it was me that had said yesterday it’s just I caved and tested early!
I’ve got everything crossed for anyone testing this week 🤞🏻🤞🏻
Dip this morning of .3, if you go by my 25 day cycle since stopping bc I’m due on Wednesday. Really hoping the dip isn’t a precursor to period 😩! Holding on to ovulating late in cycle, hoping it stays away. Feeling a bit despondent this morning. Hope everyone has a good day. Baby dust and wishful thinking to all. Already “looking forward” to bed and tomorrow’s temp.
Af has arrived in full force accompanied by that big ole heavy crampy feeling. Happy Monday! Its OK, I'm seeing this as a chance for a fresh start and with a 22 day cycle I didn't have to wait long which is at least a silver lining. Going to track this whole next cycle really closely as suspicious I am ovulating much earlier these days. Wishing to the heavens that this new cycle is one with ovulation and good things.
