My temp spiked this morning, so we'll see if it stays that way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opks-two-days-of-positives#post-23980 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 19:59:27 +0000 Shutterbug 23980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is so informative - thank you! This is my first month temping/testing (just to get the hang of it - TTC in 2012) and I got positive OPKs yesterday and today, but my temp hasn't spiked yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opks-two-days-of-positives#post-23898 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 17:25:59 +0000 TheFixIts 23898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! Your window can be as long as 48 hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opks-two-days-of-positives#post-23266 Mon, 28 Nov 2011 17:43:50 +0000 carrieknitscake 23266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just got my second dark day of OPKs yesterday. I usually get a positive OPK on CD10. This is the first cycle where I'm OPKing through Wednesday at least to see the surge. I'm on a 27 day cycle. My doctor's advice was to get on from CD8-20 every other day based off of the OPKs on CD10. I'm going to OPK tonight to see if it's a positive or not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opks-two-days-of-positives#post-23219 Mon, 28 Nov 2011 17:03:46 +0000 Rubies 23219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got two days of positives: the first day was dark, the second day was dark-dark. I assumed that I would have ovulated 12-24 hours after the second day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opks-two-days-of-positives#post-23135 Mon, 28 Nov 2011 15:31:24 +0000 tequiero21 23135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i think the OPK only tells you when you're surging, not when you ovulated. meaning you should probably ovulate around 24-36 hours after you get your first smiley face. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opks-two-days-of-positives#post-23133 Mon, 28 Nov 2011 15:29:16 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 23133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh great, thanks guys! At least I know I don't have faulty tests, haha...my temp spiked this morning, so I'm guessing I O-d yesterday.<br /> We'll wait and see, and BD just in case ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opks-two-days-of-positives#post-23131 Mon, 28 Nov 2011 15:27:18 +0000 prettylizy 23131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a little rusty, but you can get +OPK's for a couple days. It depends on when you released the egg. I got smiley face for 2 days, and usually the positive indicated that you ovulated. If it was darker today, I'd guess you ovulated late yesterday or early today </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opks-two-days-of-positives#post-23129 Mon, 28 Nov 2011 15:26:58 +0000 Running Elley 23129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually get two days of positives too and I generally O on the day of or the day after the second one. I confirm my O by temping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opks-two-days-of-positives#post-23127 Mon, 28 Nov 2011 15:24:09 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 23127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, I've been charting for 10 cycles now, but this is the first time I've used OPKs. I thought I was using them wrong, because I just wasn't getting a positive reading. Then last night, I tested one last time before giving up and just going with the crosshairs that FF gave me, and it was positive!<br /> I tested again this afternoon, and its an even darker positive.<br /> Is it normal to have two days of positives? Is it a 24-hour thing? And does that mean I ovulate today, or tomorrow?<br /> So. Many. Questions! </p>
