I have a question me and my partner bd on 6/2,6/4,6/7,6/8,6/11,6/15,6/16 I took a opk on 6/12 and was positive is there a chance I could be pregnant?
-
Yep - there is a chance. Good luck with your TWW.
-
Sure! The 6/11 day was probably your best shot.

Depends on when your surge began. Did you test before that or after? You may have tested in the beginning or end of your surge. You dont know if you use just one. Okay, here is an explanation I found online that I really liked in terms of opks and timing.
"If you plot the LH surge vs. time on a graph, the rise and fall will be shaped like a mountain or the crest of a wave. This wave of LH can be spread over as little as 24 hours or over 3-5 days. The LH level usually rises very suddenly, it peaks, then it declines as it exits your system (usually more slowly than the rise). Ovulation occurs about 36 hours after the *peak* of the LH surge (the tip of the mountain), regardless of how long the rise and decline is. When using OPKs, the test turns positive any time there is a higher than normal level of LH in your body, but it you cannot tell when the actual peak occurs. You might have already peaked by the time you get your first positive test and are catching the surge on its way down. That is why it is recommended to have sex the day you first see a positive and continue right through until a couple of days after the tests turn negative. It is also recommended to assume ovulation will be 12-36 hours after your *first* positive test, not your last one."

6/11 is your best day... but that is still -3 or -2 before you ovulated I'm going to guess you ovulated either 6/13 or 6/14. Since Opks usually show the surge between 1-2 days before you actually ovulate.
So about 10-25% chance you conceived.
Good luck!
-
@Raindrop: I love graphs! Probably because I am a type A.
-
@simplyfelicity: Your graphs are better!
Though I'm surprised how different they are. Your first one she has like between 6-35% chance of conceiving and the second one is 14-27% chance.Hopefully her surge was just 1 day before her ovulation!
-
I think you are stopping BD too early to be in with the best chance
-
@simplyfelicity: I use an app that estimates when I ovulate which by its calculation should have been 6/9. I took a opk on 6/12 and was positive (I dont normally use opks but was curious and bought one) I looked online for a ovulation calculator and the dates I got fit with the positive opk which by that estimation should of put my ovulation day at 6/15. But im not sure if I should go by it or not.

@simplyfelicity:
-
@Mrs. Confetti: Im hoping for the best fingers crossed.
@tidybee: Thank you it gives me a little bit of hope.
-
There is definitely a chance.
-
@locavore_mama: i really hope so
-
There is a chance. Only way to find out is to take a pregnancy test in 12-16 days.
-
@simply_london: I'm not an OPK expert, but I think that OPK is either the tail end or the very beginning of your surge. If so, this would make your timing even better.
You really can't rely on those apps, they make a lot of assumptions - mainly that you have a typical 28 day cycle and ovulate on the 14th day. A lot of women (including myself) fall outside this range. I would plug in the positive OPK and see how it adjusts. I would also recommend OPKing starting at CD10 next cycle (assuming you aren't pregnant) so you can exactly pinpoint when you are ovulating. That will allow you to time things with greater ease!
-
! Def a chance!
-
@BakerBee: If im not pregnant then i will start using OPKs cd10. i did put in the positive opk and it didnt change anything and im suppose to get af on the 23rd (going by the app)
-
@simply_london: That's strange. Do you usually have a 10 day LP? Because you ovulate 12-36 hours after a positive OPK, so that would make you only 10dpo when AF is due. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I would expect AF to be late on the 27th, not the 23rd. Just some food for thought when/if you test.
-
Are you temping? Or just using an app to figure out your likely ovulation day?
I wouldn't rely on that opk as a pregnancy predictor- it was too soon after your o date to show anything.
I would suspect that it was actually showing the tail end of your O surge, and you likely o a few days later than you know.
-
@BakerBee: im not sure im gona give you the dates of my period
February 4-6
March 4-9
April 1-3
May 5-7
May 26-29i got af twice in may so maybe that has something to do with it im guessing
-
@simply_london: Which app are you using? I highly recommend Fertility Friend. It's not as pretty as other apps, but it's probably the most comprehensive. I also recommend charting your BBT. Fertility Friend also has lots of great (free) resources on how to chart and what's going on with your body.
-
@Crystal: No im not temping or anything like that just using the app to guess when i ovulate and it was wrong so if im not pregnant then im going to start using opks next cycle
-
@pui: its called my calendar and i did an account with fertility friend but i dont really understand it much so i havent gone back to it
-
@simply_london:
February 4-6 to March 4-9: 28 days
March 4-9 to April 1-3: 28 days
April 1-3 to May 5-7: 34 days
May 5-7 to May 26-29: 21 daysIt looks like your cycle is still trying to regulate. Did you just get off birth control?
I also think that your app may be telling you the wrong fertile period, unfortunately. Fingers crossed that you are pregnant and won't have to deal with figuring it out anyways!
-
@BakerBee: Ive never been on birth control and my cycles have been normal for years and yeah the app is just wrong so i wont be going by that anymore and hopefully i am would be reaaly great
