On the ones with the solid/flashy smiley you aren't meant to pay attention to the darkness of lines.
The rate at which your CM changes is not consistent at all (I know they make claims about this on other sites, but these claims are nonsense) so we can't know if you've Oed or not. The rate at which your OPK goes negative also does not tell you if you've ovulated or not. You will ovulate on average 24-36 hours after first positive.
I think it's a great idea to have another attempt CD 18 to cover your bases as a CD 15 attempt would not cover any further than that.

Would that make it two attempts?

No, that's not two attempts because if there was anything left over from the CD 15 attempt it would have already fertilized the egg, and then if there isn't, the CD 18 attempt would have time to capacitate and make it to the egg.

So I got a positive OPK on CD15 and had another attempt as you suggested on CD18. I also had a BBT 36.4 C on CD18 and 36.6 C on the morning of CD19 so I assume I ovulated on CD18 judging by BBT? Or positive OPK on CD 15 and possible ovulation on CD16-17 is more reliable?

Temps are not quite as reliable as we'd like them to be. It's likely you Oed CD 18, but occasionally the temp rise takes a day or two to happen so CD 16-17 are possible.

TTC pink after 2 boys
My first period after MC is super strange! It started as spotting (I almost thought it was IB as it was cd28 and 11dpo), just a few drops of pink, the next day (today) is a bit heavier but more like what I would have on a second last day of a period. Is that normal? I expected it to be very heavy!

Yes that's very normal. It may be you didn't ovulate at all or that you did and then just hadn't built up much of a lining. Both heavier than normal and lighter than normal, are, well, normal, LOL.

TTC pink after 2 boys
This month I had implantation cramps (or something that I was sure to be that) and back ache at 9dpo, just like in both my previous successful pregnancies so I was sure I’m pregnant but no, CD1 today! So frustrating!!! Also, do I count the day of super light spotting as CD1 or the day of full on bleeding? I never had spotting before my miscarriage in February, always red blood straight away in AM, now I get super light pink spotting for a day and only the day after would be proper flow. Also my cycle is now spot on 27 days whereas before it was all over the place (alternating months of 27 and 32 days). Do you think it has something to do with the diet or exercise?

Atomic will know more about your other questions. But regarding implantation pain - I totally get you! I think it’s been an age thing for me. There was one month recently where I swore I was pregnant - I could literally NOT believe the test was negative as I had all the signs that I knew. We weren’t trying, so it’s not like I was looking out for them.
Our bodies do strange things I think, but it’s happened many more times since and I think an age/hormone thing that could cause it. The older I get the more it seems to happen

My rule of thumb with CD 1 is "if you think it is your period, then it is."
It's a normal pattern for many people to start off with a day of light spotting, and it's also a normal pattern to end your period with a day or two of spotting. It's also normal to have these patterns on occasion even when you normally don't or for your pattern to change totally especially when swaying. The only real way to know is to count from your ovulation day (and even then it's not very reliable.)
The good news is that as long as it's not MANY days of spotting before red flow it doesn't matter anyway.
Many of us notice changes n our cycle with swaying. This may be a good thing! We have a whole thread about it here: https://genderdreaming.com/forum/gen...-you-have.html

Atomic, this may sound crazy but I’ve been reading about moon phases… I have a ‘red moon cycle’ currently which I didn’t used to have. Meaning my period is coinciding with the full moon. From...
