I just got a positive OPK yesterday! Its my first month using them thanks to some great Bees mailing their extra to me! I am hoping they are filled with baby dust.
Anyways, does the positive OPK mean I ovulated yesterday? FF says I may still be fertile for a few more days, so I guess we should continue to BD every other day?

It means you should be ovulating in the next 24-36 hours. I'd BD tonight and maybe tomorrow too just in case! Good luck and wishing you sticky baby dust!

I think it means you should ovulate soon, and in that case, get down to business 
Good luck!

I only used them two months, but I would get two days of positives and always counted the second day as O day since you are suppose to O 12-36 hours following first positive (depending on when you caught the surge)

I always would BD day of and day after the positive OPK - when you get the surge it means you will be ovulating w/in 24-36 hours. So you could be ovulating today! I'd also BD tomorrow to be extra sure : )

You are definitely still fertile - to make sure you cover all your bases, the sperm meets egg plan recommends BDing for 3 consecutive nights after a positive OPK, then skipping a night, then BDing one more night (for good measure). Good luck!

So, if we BD 3 days ago (positive on Tuesday evening, we last BD on Saturday afternoon), do you think that also might help? Would that last session be counted as O-3 or should I put O date as today or tomorrow?

When I temped and used OPKs at the same time, I would sometimes get a positive the DAY I ovulated. I'd BD 2 days after the positive at least and then you're probably done. Unfortunately no way to know exactly when you Od without temping.

Are you temping and checking CM too? Those would help you figure out your O date a bit more than just a positive OPK.
