You can have false positives and false negatives on OPK, and even when they work perfectly they're just a ballpark figure. Can you explain when your period came in relation to the positive OPK???
My period came on cd 26 and i had a pos opk on cd 13
Ok so most likely you had a 12 day LP, ovulated CD 14, and everything is as it should be. Just wasn't the month. FX for March!
Hi.
Im really confused as i was tracking my cycle and i had a pos opk on cd 14. On cd 20 i did another opk (just because i was curious) and a dark line came up - not quite pos and every day since then i have tested and rhe line has no faded. Do you know what could cause this?
That is caused by the secondary estrogen surge which happens about 7-10 DPO. That's super common and is not unexpected or weird at all (and in fact is a good sign your body is doing what it should do!)
Ok great so ut doesnt mean i was ovulating again then?
No, it doesn't. Now, it's possible you can have a false positive and then a real positive, but given that your first test was actually positive and at the appropriate time of the month for O, and then this test wasn't positive and was at the time we'd expect to see a secondary estrogen surge, that is what I would consider by far the most likely.
Hi all, i hope you are all doing ok.
Its been a while!
We have been ttc for a while now with out any luck, I actually started to forget about swaying and just concentrate on getting pregnant, but we had no luck.
I finally went to the doctor who gave me a blood test which showed low progesterone so they have re tested me and i am just waiting for the results. They also gave me an ultrasound where they diagnosed me with pcos!!!
I just feel a bit lost now as to what to do as we are trying but nothing seems to be happeneing.
I need more info about this test. When was it done? How did you determine ovulation that month? Many times the supposed "low progesterone" reading is simply a test taken at the wrong time.
I would definitely switch over to the alternate diet but if you're getting your period every month the odds are very good there's some physical thing preventing pregnancy and not your hormone levels. Like, frequency patterns, shallow release, douching/jelly - are you doing anything you can think of that could physically prevent conception? And has your husband had a sperm analysis, and have you had a HSG exam??
