I have a series of questions and I'm trying to figure this all out!
For starters, I had a baby in February that was unfortunately stillborn. I've been charting my ovulation since. I'm not sure if that is affecting my ovulation testing. I started taking the tests after he was born. I did not ovulate that first cycle. I started OPK testing again after my period 2 weeks ago.
I am using 2 OPK brands. The Target brand and Clearblue brand with the 2 lines. They both got real dark on Wednesday. But Thursday, they were real light again. I thought I missed my surge. On Friday, they got dark again - same as the control line. They were both just as dark on Saturday. And just as dark today (Sunday)! Is it possible to have 3 days in a row of positive tests??
Also, I started lightly spotting a tinge of pink on Tuesday. It turned more brown on Thursday & Friday. It was completely gone yesterday (Saturday). I never got the EWCM. ??
Now, I have cramps on the left lower abdomen. Like menstrual cramps. However, I did have cramps on both sides Wednesday thru Saturday as well. Today they're just a little more painful.
What does it all mean? Did I miss my surge? Am I ovulating? Did I already ovulate? Does the spotting and cramps have anything to do with it? Now that the spotting is gone... does that mean I DID ovulate or am about to? The tests as of 20 mintues ago are still positive?
I'm so confused!!!!!
Thank you for your help!
