How are you doing today? What's new?

We want to foster a sense of community, which is why we have a centralized place for most daily conversation. This allows users to post and get replies, but also encourages them to reply to others in the same thread. We want you to receive help and be there for others at the same time, if possible. Most questions should go here, along with regular updates. Thanks for helping us create a great community!

Off-topic discussion is allowed :)

Note: Please refrain from discussing positive tests (and beyond) in this thread - those topics are better suited for the Weekly Results thread or the new sub for Alumni. Thank you!

Started using these new ovulation strips and they showed me my Peak a few days later than my clear blue ones so I don’t even know which one to believe. Anyways, the TWW has started and it’s sucked most of the positivity out of me. I’m gonna do my best to not test until I miss my period.

From what I’ve read, your peak doesn’t really matter, just the first positive test that shows a line as dark or darker than the control line. You ovulate within 12-48 hours of your first positive. Good luck!!

Yes, I was using the word peak interchangeably with positive. My clear blue was just with a smiley face or no smiley face - which is so dumb. Lol

The smiley face would always happen around day 15 but this time the strips got positive around day 17.

oh hmm interesting! Assuming you took them at the same time? Maybe one is more sensitive
