It went up from 97.9-98.1 on Friday, and was 98.0 today. I am calling myself 2DPO.....and now incredibly freaked out that my Luteal Phase might be super short based on when I'm supposed to get my period (or....FX....an implanted embryo?!). It's always "something," isn't it?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-positive-opks-do-you-generally-get#post-1372970 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 09:20:48 +0000 theotherstark 1372970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ChiCalGoBee: Ugh, I'm new to OPKs too. They're so confusing! I don't think you should panic, though - my box says after a positive, ovulation should occur within 12-36 hours, so I think it's likely you caught the front end and then have gotten positives since then. It's possible it might be taking a bit longer to ovulate, too? Or something? I don't know :) Ha. Our bodies are so mysterious sometimes. Did you get a temp rise this morning?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-positive-opks-do-you-generally-get#post-1372091 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 21:06:39 +0000 ChiCalGoBee 1372091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@theotherstark: 3rd smiley in a row today.....now I'm beginning to panic. What the heck is going on?! So, uh, 3 positives....FX for a temp rise tomorrow so I can naively believe last night's BDing was actually at the right time. Oy vey! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-positive-opks-do-you-generally-get#post-1371211 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 16:34:32 +0000 prettylizy 1371211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a :) two mornings in a row with both pregnancies </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-positive-opks-do-you-generally-get#post-1371197 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 16:27:44 +0000 theotherstark 1371197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ChiCalGoBee: HA, it totally is! I was just thinking this last night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-positive-opks-do-you-generally-get#post-1370185 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 11:56:06 +0000 Miss Sarah 1370185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Snowdrop: I"m happy to hear about your "almost positive," because that's what I got today. I think I'll test again tonight and for sure tomorrow. And BD just in case. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-positive-opks-do-you-generally-get#post-1370036 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 11:18:17 +0000 Mrs. Chickadee 1370036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I typically have two days of positives, sometimes three. Then I usually let myself get two days of negatives and then stop for the cycle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-positive-opks-do-you-generally-get#post-1369954 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 10:58:41 +0000 ChiCalGoBee 1369954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm new to OPKs, and I got a positive (smiley face) on Tuesday afternoon, although my line didn't look dark. I also got a smiley face yesterday afternoon, and "my" line looked darker than the control line. However, this morning there was no temperature raise...I am planning on testing this afternoon to see if it's negative, which I think means O has already occurred? Shouldn't my temperature go up? This all is way more confusing than my junior high Sex Ed class led me to believe! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-positive-opks-do-you-generally-get#post-1369713 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 10:04:11 +0000 theotherstark 1369713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Loving the responses - thanks, everyone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-positive-opks-do-you-generally-get#post-1369602 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 09:38:10 +0000 Bao 1369602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With this baby I got 3. Positive on the 27th, 28th and morning of the 29th. Then by that evening it was negative. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-positive-opks-do-you-generally-get#post-1369588 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 09:32:57 +0000 mrs. 64 1369588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I knew O was imminent I would test twice a day. I usually got positive AM, PM, and next day AM or PM, next day AM and PM, so 3 total. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-positive-opks-do-you-generally-get#post-1369584 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 09:30:57 +0000 lioneyes 1369584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowdrop so which day do you count as O? The day with positive am/very positive pm, or the next day with positive am/negative pm?</p> <p>that's similar to me, but i go back and forth on which day should count as O. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-positive-opks-do-you-generally-get#post-1368005 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 17:00:50 +0000 Snowdrop 1368005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@theotherstark: I get almost positive then positive the next day am then very dark positive pm then postive the next day followed quickly by a negative. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-positive-opks-do-you-generally-get#post-1366313 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 10:16:20 +0000 Smurfette 1366313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only tested in the afternoon, so 1 a cycle. The next afternoon my smiley face would be gone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-positive-opks-do-you-generally-get#post-1366308 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 10:14:04 +0000 littlek 1366308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually test twice a day, so I will usually get 2 or more positives over the 2 day period. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-positive-opks-do-you-generally-get#post-1366243 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 09:55:54 +0000 bhbee 1366243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@theotherstark: yeah people are really different so you'll just have to see over time how it works for you. mine is not gradual at all - it's very negative, positive for a short time, very negative again. of course I also have fertility issues so could be related. many people get that gradual build-up and ramp-down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-positive-opks-do-you-generally-get#post-1366200 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 09:46:58 +0000 theotherstark 1366200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septca: So interesting! I always try to see if I can feel O, but I can never tell if I am actually feeling it, or if I'm just over-analyzing every twinge. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-positive-opks-do-you-generally-get#post-1366187 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 09:44:54 +0000 theotherstark 1366187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bhbee: Interesting! I actually just started using OPKs (because I was curious), so I am fascinated by all of this! :happy: I was really intrigued to read (on a few other threads as well) that you get a negative so quickly; I would have thought it was a more gradual progression. The things you learn from these threads! Love it. </p> <p>I got a positive yesterday evening (test line same color as control), and this morning the test line was darker than the control. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-positive-opks-do-you-generally-get#post-1366178 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 09:43:16 +0000 septca 1366178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use FMU and usually get a + two days in a row. FF always think the day after the first + is O bc it assumes afternoon testing, but sometimes I feel it on the first day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-positive-opks-do-you-generally-get#post-1366158 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 09:36:00 +0000 bhbee 1366158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stop testing if I get a positive, so I put 1. really it's 0-1 because I have a naturally short surge and anything close to positive means I would get a positive in +-12 hours if I tested more frequently. on the few occasions I have kept testing it always goes more negative pretty quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-positive-opks-do-you-generally-get#post-1366112 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 09:21:32 +0000 theotherstark 1366112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just curious! :) And because polls are fun. </p>
