Help with Ovulation tests

[kaz87]

Last month my cycle was 30 days and the month before was 28 days

My last period started on the 24th Aug, im still getting negative on my tests.

Can anyone help? xx

What sensitivity tests are you using, and what time are you testing?

And are you charting temps as well?

I tested this morning at 8.30 which I have read is too early, yesturday around 11am.

These are the ones- https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product...m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_r=1ZKJSX392QPA97FHYQC1.

No I am not doing temps xx

We're around the same time in our cycle, but I've only just given in and taken an opk today (have been on holiday).

If you can manage to test twice a day it might help? Are you getting lines at all?
What about CM changes?

Hi Kaz87

My tips on using opk:
Firstly do them around 5pm
Do not go to the toilet or drink for 3 hours prior to taking it if possible

You're about 4 days in front of me and I would expect a positive on Friday but I pretty much always ovulate on the 15th day of my cycle, you may be ovulating late this month or you're just taking it too early in the day ?

Good luck

Iv taken another one about 10 mins ago, I'm so happy to say there was a second line and was darker than the one this morning and I had some mucus that looked like raw egg. Maybe I was testing too early on the day x

I've been testing at 3pm and getting either very faint lines or no second line at all. I struggle to hold my urine for the recommended time of 4 hours....I can just about manage two so have started testing twice a day as my EWCM has come in.

As an 'experiment' I tested today with FMU and got a darker than normal second line. I'm coming to the conclusion everyone gets results with different techniques on these things.

My EWCM came in yesturday and when I get home from work today I will test again
