It could be that day or the next...they say it's around 12-36 hours from a positive OPK I think. Temping and a different OPK would probably give you more information! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stupid-opk-question#post-2074557 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 22:34:23 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2074557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say the high day or in the next few days after that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stupid-opk-question#post-2074554 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 22:32:43 +0000 Emilia80 2074554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@stiletto_mom: I started using the cb OPK's like u. Anyways, I got 2 days of o (no fertility) then I tested few days later bc I eas running out of sticks bc I was stuffing them up ( u could tell I was a first user of these things) then I got a solid smiley face which meant peak. Anyway I track my cycles on an app and according the apps thought I ovulated January 29 which I got my peak solid smiley, and states in the app that was ovulation day BUT my gyno confirmed that I ovulated on January 31 which makes it on point 14 th day ovulation on a 27 day cycle! Idk if this helps but I would say just dtd everyday when getting the solid face. U could ovulate anytime once u get the solid face. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stupid-opk-question#post-2074067 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 17:29:18 +0000 stiletto_mom 2074067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for the info. I guess I'll have to start temping if I don't get a BFP this cycle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stupid-opk-question#post-2074062 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 17:28:03 +0000 kiddosc 2074062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@stiletto_mom: You can even get an LH surge and not ovulate at all, more common for people with problems like PCOS. The only way to confirm ovulation 100% is by temping. </p> <p>I would say that you probably ovulated the day after your peak day (12-36hrs after LH surge), and the egg will survive for around 24 hours after ovulation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stupid-opk-question#post-2074042 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 17:11:33 +0000 LBee 2074042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@stiletto_mom: Unfortunately, no. OPKs can just tell you that they detect LH in your urine, they can't tell you when / if you ovulated. It is usually said that you ovulate 24-48 hours after your LH surge, but they have no way of actually confirming this. A sustained temperature shift of your basal body temperature, though, is considered confirmation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stupid-opk-question#post-2074032 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 17:05:32 +0000 stiletto_mom 2074032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LBee: So there is no way to be sure unless I'm temping? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stupid-opk-question#post-2074022 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 16:57:40 +0000 LBee 2074022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most likely the last day, but you can't know for sure without doing something like temping. I would often O 2 days after I got a solid smiley... bodies be crazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stupid-opk-question#post-2074012 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 16:51:46 +0000 stiletto_mom 2074012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm using Clearblue Advance Digital.</p> <p>Shows a "O" for low fertility.<br /> Shows a blinking :) for high fertility<br /> Shows a solid :) for peak fertility.</p> <p>Using the OPK, I got 2 days low, 3 days high and 1 day peak (the test says to stop testing when you get the peak as a result).</p> <p>Now does that mean my O'day was the "peak" day? Or the first "high" day? Or the last "high" day? </p>
