@californiadreams: I usually test in the morning and the afternoon, especially as I get close to when I'm expecting a positive. Mine get darker each day usually and then I get 1-3 days of positives. I usually O 24-36 hours after the first positive, based on what I can tell from temping, although my temps tend to vary a lot (open mouth breathing, frequent insomnia). Planning on trying vaginal temping next month if I don't get a BFP this time around. Not sure if my experience with OPKs is typical, but it's been fairly consistent over the 9 months I've been testing (started OPKs six months before TTC, as I have to do AI and I wanted to have the timing down before I even tried.

@californiadreams: I started using OPKs this month and Monday was my CD14 and I didn't get my positive OPK until CD17. I had ovulation pains about 24 hours later. I got positives for 48 hours, testing 2-3 times a day from CD15 to CD18. I don't temp so I can't help there. FX for both of us

@californiadreams: It varies by person. I usually got a +OPK around CD18-20, I was on the later side.

@californiadreams: @SunnyFarmMama: They were 30-32ish days, if I recall correctly? Depended on when I Oed. I was on progesterone for a number of cycles and then when to the RE, which is why I can't remember exactly? I don't think the shorter LP is a huge concern, provided your progesterone levels are good, you're not spotting (I was), etc. HB is really good at deciphering OPKs though
