Tell me what you think (OPK related)
I got my first smiley on Thurs...so we bd on thurs, fri (still smiley), and Saturday...I tested yesterday afternoon to insure that I ovulated and it was negative so I must have ovulated right? Only thing is I think I still felt Ovulation cramps last night...I wanted to bd one more time last night but we were both too tired. Would the test have come up negative if I hadn't ovulated yet????
TIA

Re: Tell me what you think (OPK related)
A positive OPK means your will ovulate within the next 24 to 48 hours, not that you are or have ovulated. So if you got to smileys in a row, from the second smiley you would O in the next day or two. So two days after your last smiley would be Sunday. I would BD for at least two more days after the last positive.

Re: Tell me what you think (OPK related)
I agree..... The  is 24-48 hours before you O. So you should BD for another day or 2 after the disappears.....
good luck!!!

Re: Tell me what you think (OPK related)
I think that when you get 2 days of smileys, it means that you will ovulate the day after the last smiley.
so if you got a +OPK on thursday and friday, i think you'd ovulate on saturday.
The OPK detects the surge of LH which means ovulation will occur within 24-36 hours. So you might be catching the beginning and end of your surge if you get two days of +, so I'd think you'd O the following day.

Re: Tell me what you think (OPK related)
There really is no hard and fast rule - as Pickles stated, it's different for everyone. I always get two days of peak readings on my monitor, and blood draws by my RE confirmed that I ovulate on the second day of peak reading, so it is also possible that you are ovulating on the second day of your smiley face reading.
Also, remember, most conceptions take place from BDing BEFORE the woman ovulates, not on the exact day, as those little guys can survive for a few days in the right environment, so you really should be ok.

It sounds like you are okay. You probably ovulated the day of the second smiley or the following day. Since you BD those days, you should be okay.

Thanks BXgell...this made me feel ALOT better. But if you get a negative reading does that mean that you have ovulated already or it just means the lutenizing hormone is gone? I wish I had tested Saturday to see if it was still smiley but I didn't....

When you get a negative, it means your LH surge has ended. This could mean you ovulated the day before the negative or, you are ovulating that day. Your surge predicts that you will ovulate in about 12-36 hours.
