first attempt TTC - my girl sway

[xxb]

Help! So I tested OPK last night before bed, and using the premom app it read 'peak' again but this morning it's now reading 'low' (control and test line are about the same color though). I told DH last night about the peak, but he said he couldn't perform and we would try today. I didn't think anything of it since last cycle my LH stayed high for a few days and I O'd late (CD16/17).

If we BD this afternoon/evening, would it be too late? My temp did go up this morning (by .14), I have light cramping today, and I had EWCM yesterday and none today (sticky). I'm so sad! I feel like I missed my window now and regret BDing with protection tuesday night.

Oh no only just now saw this. PLEASE always just have attempt, never wait for a reply from me. I just can't promise people that I can do that.

The apps don't work. They are junk and everyone should delete them IMO.

It is never too late to BD. At least you're in with a chance! Not I, nor an app, nor anyone else other than a doctor with an ultrasound device (and really not even then) can tell you when you ovulated or will. Even temping is not terribly reliable.

CM can dry up before O. It is in fact a very common thing we see - the CM drying up the day before ovulation.

I do want you to understand, though, that when the test goes negative it doesn't tell you if you've ovulated or not. It only measures the hormones that signal ovulation and not whether or not ovulation has occurred. You can have a test go negative and still not have ovulated, and you can have a test that stays positive for days after ovulation. You will generally ovulate 24-48 hours after that first positive and sometimes even longer than that so please don't avoid having an attempt! No reason not to

Just coming on here to say I got my BFP! I can't believe it! I took two tests the day before my expected AF (15DPO), and both tests appeared quickly with very dark and solid lines!

We ended up having our one attempt on the evening of the day I assumed I ovulated (and when I last posted on here - June 13th). I tried not to stress out about the timing of it all, and figured our chance was so small. I felt really relaxed during the 2WW (stuck to the LE diet though) and didn't think I was pregnant until the week before AF. This was our second cycle and second attempt

Thank you Atomic for all of your help and advice!!
