This month I'm using the ovulation tests from Kruidvat for the first time. Last month I used Clearblue, but I found them too expensive. Who else uses these?
I started with the Clearblue with the double hormone indicator. On day 1 I got a full circle, and on day 2 a blinking smiley, which I still had until the day before yesterday! A few days ago I also started using the regular Clearblue, but that still shows an empty circle.. I'm already on day 14. They say you shouldn't read anything into the lines, but they are definitely getting darker..
I used the 2besure test this month (first round) because of my long, irregular cycles. It was positive for one day (two thick lines). Now waiting until the 21st.
I had a positive ovulation test on the 8th.
18 days after my first day of menstruation.
That fits with my "normal" cycle since it usually lasts 32 to 35 days.
Last month I had a very short cycle of 26 days, which was the first time in years.
Three days ago I got a huge headache, which I normally get until I start menstruating (hormonal changes), but now it's gone and replaced by some lower back pain and a bit of a menstrual feeling, but there's still no white discharge. I'm also experiencing waves of severe nausea and my appetite isn't really there. It might seem absurd to ask, but I can't ignore it. I'm not paying much attention because I'm busy preparing for vacation and all the things that come with the last school week, but I really notice it.
Now we wait and see!
