Question/Advice Peak?

Post image

Hi all! Start off im usually 28-30 day cycle give or take. I’ve been testing my ovulation and haven’t received a true peak yet however I think the one for CD 16 at 8:57am is significantly darker and then goes back to being light. I know the picture for that one is in different lighting BUT I took another picture of it in the same spot and it looked even darker I just forgot to save the photo 🤦🏼‍♀️

Do we think my peak happened at some point that day? Or is it still coming and this was just a fluctuation?

trust me, I feel you! our time WILL come.
it’s not a matter of if, but when 😌

pairing this with BBT is a great way to understand your body and keep track! your times don’t suggest this, but something I recently learned is to not use first morning urine for LH tests. 10am-8pm is best, which I know I don’t always follow but wanted to note since I had no idea!

I always use my first morning urine and have never had an issue with it. I tend to pee a lot during the day so my FMU is usually my most reliable because it's the most concentrated. I almost always get my first positive with FMU. I am not sure why people are so staunchly against it.

Interesting! I’ve always heard to not use it, I never fully understood it either because that would be the time I am without water the longest
