Ovulation

I know this might not be the correct page to ask this on but nobody knows I'm trying and I'm getting abit down and need some help! I've been using ovulation sticks for the past week and all I keep getting is a faint 2nd line.. im on day 14 of my cycle now and my cycle can be anything from 25-30 days.. last month it was 25. I feel like I've had all the signs I've already ovulated but I didn't listen to my body and instead I've been waiting for the tests to show positive 🙃 can you ovulate yet these strip tests still say negative? I'm so confused I never used them before x

I used them every day for 2 months to get a feel for my cycles and then started using them for a week / two once I got an idea. I was doing them the same time every morning too. If you have a feeling always just go ahead and try.

Sounds odd have you tried using an app. You can log your cycle and it predicts it?

@Hannah yes I track my periods every month and its predicting that I will ovulate on Saturday however I've had all the ovary pain, discharge (sorry tmi) back on Sunday and Monday but because the tests were still saying negative I ignored it which in hindsight I probably shouldn't of. Worried there's something else going on with me and I just haven't ovulated at all x

You might have just missed your peak. If you've just started using them, download the premom app to scan them in it'll help you track. Then test every day, maybe twice a day, for your whole cycle to get used to it. Some women have rapid lh onset, some have multiple peaks so you need to find out what yours does.

Sometimes with the cheapy tests unless you're testing like three times a day you'll miss your peak. I like the clear blue digital ovulation test with the flashy and static smiley face. A lot more expensive but super clear!
