Ovulation tests confused help!!

Hi,

Can anybody help, I have been doing OPK, LH ovulation tests since cd11 and they were clear with a faded line till thursday it started to get slightly darker then friday it was kinda dark but maybe a fraction lighter than the test line! then later in the afternoon it was lighter again but sat morning it was slightly lighter than the test line again! well I cant decide if the line is equal or a it lighter, but by sat afternoon they were very light again.

The persona ov tests are they ones than looked pos but the one step dip tests are very hard to read I got an array of results. I am really confused also Thursday my temp was 35.97C then Friday it rose to 36.32C Sat 36.35 Today Sun 36.27C so my temp has risen since Thursday but slightly and my temp has fluctuated earlier in the month.

I am unsure if I have ovulated as I have been told I am peri-menopausal and have low estrogen I am worried I am not ovulating. I have stopped taking my Vitex, starflower oil evening primrose in case I did Ovulated. Has anybody had similar probs with Ov tests?? not sure how long the LH surge is?. Also does anybody have a clear idead what all the abbreviations meanlo I keep reading peoples blogs and they are full of Abbreviations so i don't understand what people ae saying I know CD, LH, OPK, DPO. Its like a whole new lanuage.

Also I get better lines if I test at 10.30am and lighetr in the day test suggests mid day but mine were darker earlier??? I find this whole process stressful and quite obsessive :( . Oh I had a miscarriage in Dec too so feel desperate to get pregnant.

Thanks guys

i know where your coming from, i buy the cheap ovulation strips from amazon about £4 for 30 and then i have the clearblue digital ones, that way if i am unsure on the colour i do a digita one and they give u a smiley face if your gonna ovulate, as for short codes i am still trying to work out myself, lol, one i always know..i know bd is baby dance ie sex, its all very confusing, sorry i cannot help with know if you ovulated, but the temp one is a nghtmare for me, i am all over, hope u find out either way xxx

CD - cycle day (cycle day 1 is first day of your period)
AF = "Aunt Flo", or your period
BD = baby dancing (Sex)
DPO = days past ovulation
DH = dear husband
OPK = ovulation predictor kit
FSH = follicle stimulating hormone
LH - lutinizing hormone

Hope that helps!!!

wow Love the code info lol!! another lanuage for sure. Well I'm actually Pregnant now a BFP lol!! scared to death though. The OPK were right although my temp rose the same day that I got a poss, but must have concieved straight away it all so confusing. My temps have stayed higher no although still up and down I wake up sweating i bed can'rt sleep at all, I only have a little bit of nausea in the morning which worries me as I felt very sick on my 1st preg and my 2nd which I miscarried but I actually feel quite well??? I dare not going toilet so worried my period will arrive or I'll miscarry agin hard to stay positive as everyone keeps telling me. My battery has run out on my Basal temp now hich is prob a good thing!!! Thanks for the replies guys. But temping is def good as you can see you are def ovulating.
