    I normally get a dip around 9-10dpo and then it continues to drop until AF arrives but this time I had a peak at 10dpo, stayed steady at 11dpo and rose again 12dpo, which is when I tested as I knew something might be going on based on temps and symptoms :)

  • Anyone have advice with the One Step ovulation test strips. I'm confused!

    Sunday (CD11) the test line was pale so classed as a negative. Monday test line was darker but not as dark as the control line so again classed as a negative. Tuesday and today no test line at all. Today I'm CD14

    I don't know whether I'm worrying over nothing but is this normal?

    Still no answer for me. Same as before with the mild cramping and stuff but AF seems to be AWOL. Bit confusing as test has been neg on Monday, would rather just know. All the rest of my cycles recently have been around the 26-28 days mark, and I'm onto day 31 now... Knowing my luck it's probably just a coincidence that this is happening this month of all months!

    LKRDN_Morgan, I haven't used those myself yet (might need to give them a go) but I've heard your LH surge can happen in a very small window, so it's easy to miss entirely. My friend did even when she was using them twice a day, so had to combine with CM testing etc. I'm sure someone else who has used them has some far more useful advice but keep at it, hopefully you'll get an answer soon :)

    I had a few months where I never actually had a full on positive - I figured I missed the surge and my temp showed that I had Ov'd so it was obviously happening. I started doing my OPKs at about 2pm (at work!) and when the line got darker I'd do 2 per day until the line faded.

    I never really liked the strips - I used a clear blue digi (non flashing one) one month and hated it as I had 4 days of peak apparently! and then took the plunge and bought the clear blue digi flashing one and got my BFP the same month, it made it clearer to me - not so much guesswork involved!

    Katey you aren't out until AF shows - maybe do another test on Friday? Fingers Crossed!

    Thank you so much for the replies. I wonder then if my surge was late Monday/very early Tuesday? I can't remember exactly what times I did the test but either way I feel a lot better now! Hope is not completely lost for this month afterall :)

    Morning all, I'm off to a wedding today so have done the lists early.

    LKRDN_Morgan glad you feel better about the ovulation strips. I've only tried these once and only got 'low' readings just before ovulation. I've put you as 2 dpo today. Hope that is ok, let me know if you want me to change it to something different.

    Katey fingers crossed for you. Try not to stress too much as things are going to be a bit all over the place first month off the pill I expect. I'm sure they will settle down quickly if you don't get a BFP this month.

    Hope everyone else is ok.
