So annoyed at myself- have I missed my chance?!
I’m feeling so silly and need to vent.
I have been tracking ovulation for the last 6 months using lh strips plus documenting symptoms. I went to a naturopath last month and have started a heap of things this month to help with fertility and thyroid….
Anyway, I got EWCM super early this month and my libido was much higher than usual. Because of this I started using lh strips earlier than normal- they are a brand I switched to last month and the control and test line and opposite to the ones I am used to. You also have to leave them in urine for 5 mins before reading result….. which is annoying. So I quickly check them and throw them in the cupboard (I normal input them using photos into an app). Because it was so early I just glanced and moved on.
However, I only just realised yesterday that I was looking at them the wrong way and one of my tests were definitely positive 🤦🏼♀️
In the photo I’ve attached the tests are not in order and I have no idea what day it was positive… so annoyed at myself. But this month has been so out of wack, I think due to starting a heap of new meds. I noticed the EWCM on the 28 and there was lots on the 29th but was super keen for sex , which generally only happens when I ovulate. We had sex on the 29th, 1st and 2nd. I’m just really hoping that it may have been one of those days I know I tested on yhe 28th and 29th. But I think I skipped the 1st.
I feel so stupid because I’ve been so pedantic and consistent with testing.
Fingers crossed I’m still in for a chance this month. I think I’ll continue testing lh levels just in case. But my cm has gone creamy and that generally only changes after ovulation.
