I'd have sex the next three nights to cover your bases :wink: good luck!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-opk-test-line-comes-up-blazing-dark-before-the-control-line#post-2585078 Tue, 12 Jul 2016 19:36:31 +0000 SweetiePie 2585078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dc yoga bee: If O day was today you wouldn't have gotten a positive OPK. The surge happens before O day! I believe its 24-48 hours before. So do the deed tonight and maybe tomorrow to be safe ;-)<br /> Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-opk-test-line-comes-up-blazing-dark-before-the-control-line#post-2585067 Tue, 12 Jul 2016 19:04:07 +0000 FancyGem 2585067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last month I had 2 days of positive OPK (1 day dark and 1 day was a little darker). I ovulated about a day later. We couldn't bd until a few days later and didn't conceive that month. :( I think you will ovulate within the next 24 hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-opk-test-line-comes-up-blazing-dark-before-the-control-line#post-2585062 Tue, 12 Jul 2016 18:54:09 +0000 winniebee 2585062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dc yoga bee: I bet it's tomorrow. I usually get one strong day of positive, ovulate the next day, then it fades back out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-opk-test-line-comes-up-blazing-dark-before-the-control-line#post-2585042 Tue, 12 Jul 2016 17:51:45 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2585042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only way to know for sure is an ultrasound. Charting will help narrow it down. I'm convinced I always ovulated at 17.5 days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-opk-test-line-comes-up-blazing-dark-before-the-control-line#post-2585036 Tue, 12 Jul 2016 17:33:21 +0000 dc yoga bee 2585036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: LOL! It's definitely on the agenda for this evening once lo goes to sleep! I'm trying to gauge if O day is today or tomorrow. I always o'ed cd 17 previously. Cd 18-19 seems so late when I already have a short lp. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-opk-test-line-comes-up-blazing-dark-before-the-control-line#post-2585033 Tue, 12 Jul 2016 17:31:36 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2585033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It means have sex. </p> <p> :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-opk-test-line-comes-up-blazing-dark-before-the-control-line#post-2585032 Tue, 12 Jul 2016 17:29:51 +0000 dc yoga bee 2585032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does it mean ovulation is more likely to happen sooner than 24-48hrs? As in is the surge happening now? This is my first cycle using them postpartum (about 14 months postpartum), and I finally got a positive just now on cd 18, after work with a 2 hr hold. I wasn't able to test earlier today at work at all. The test line immediately came up and is super dark. Previously, it's been so light and wimpy. I've never had a positive that dark when previously TTC. Does it mean I'm in the middle of the surge or something? </p>
