Positive OPK yesterday.....

at 6pm....

Do I continue to test...and if I do and the line is still there does that mean I ovulate tomorrow or Saturday instead of today or tomorrow?

I had a little lighter line on Tuesday so I BD yesterday afternoon...will be doing the deed tonight and tomorrow....but will be away from DH Saturday and Sunday.

Any insight would be appreciated..... to all!

Re: Positive OPK yesterday.....

Well - the tests say you dont have to continue to test, but last month i was curious so i tested the day after i got the surge and i got another . I am assuming i ovulated somewhere around that time.

This is what i got from peeonastick.com


4. What if my OPK is positive for several days in a row? It is possible, in a normal ovulation, to have a positive OPK for several days in a row. This is because LH peaks (surges) about 12-36 hours before ovulation occurs, and then dissipates. So, you could theoretically detect this high level of LH with positive OPK's from the time it begins to the time it dissipates-- over 36 hours.

It is also possible that your body is "gearing up" to ovulate, and you have an LH surge-- and then, for some reason (such as stress, illness, travel, or random fluke), your body fails to release an egg . . . then tries, tries again ASAP with another, or overlapping, surge. If you see a positive OPK for longer than 3 consecutive days, your egg is probably just having a little trouble getting out of the starting gate. If this happens to you occasionally, it's no big deal. If it happens a lot, talk to your doctor. (I just play one on the Internet :p)



5. Should I keep testing once I get a positive OPK? Nah. Once you get a positive you will probably ovulate within the next 12-36 hours. You should be able to confirm this with a temperature rise and/or dry up of cervical mucus (remember, even when you're charting your temps/mucus as accurately as possible, it's still only accurate within +/- 3 days . . . so if you get a positive OPK, and ovulate 36 hours later, and have a thermal shift/mucus dry-up 3 days after that, you may have a discrepancy of 4.5 days between the positive OPK and NFP signs! That's the outside time range, you'll probably see the temp shift/mucus dry-up sooner than that . . . but just letting you know it's possible!)

If you don't see corroborating signs of ovulation within a few days of your positive OPK, you may wish to test again and see if the OPK is still positive. This may mean your body just got "delayed" and is still trying to ovulate. If you are consistently seeing positive OPK's without other signs that ovulation has occurred, you should talk to your dr.

Thank you very much....I'm hope I don't miss it

Re: Positive OPK yesterday.....

when I got my positive opk (the month I got pregnant), I only had a positive for one day...I tested the next day and it was negative. we bd'd the night I got the positive. good luck!

Re: Positive OPK yesterday.....

I usually just start BD'ing on the night I get the positive. I BD the next night too, even though I don't test that day.

Re: Positive OPK yesterday.....

I find that on sensive OPKs I have a 2-3 day surge, but I think I get large LH surges so they show for while. I can usually feel body changes the evening before I get my first positive, so if I haven't started to BD by then, I will and 2-3 days after.

Re: Positive OPK yesterday.....

Last month, I got a + 2 days in a row too. The third day I got a - so i assumed that I O'd already.

Re: Positive OPK yesterday.....

thanks ladies....I took the test again yesterday - first month so I'm curious - and it was positive. I BD last night as well. Hopefully I can bd before I go away this afternoon and pray that it worked....
