OPK + question....please help.....!!!

Hi ladies,

I just started using an OPK (Clear Blue Easy???) this week because I was WAY late for O. I was having watery CM and my temps hadn't gone up yet so I wanted to see if I was going to O soon. I usually O between CD10 and CD15. Here is was CD 16 and nothing yet.

So, on to my question...

I took an OPK test when I got home from work (5:45pm)on Monday and it came out positive (Yippie!!) so DH and I BD that night. Oh, I also had watery CM all that day. Okay, I wake up Tuesday morning and was curious what the OPK had to say about my ovulation. Well, it came out - so I thought I had O'd sometime that night. Well, I then read that you should do the test at the same time each day so you get an accurate reading. So, when I came home from work on Tuesday (again 5:45pm) I took another one and it came out +!!! I also had very water CM that day.

Okay...now I'm REALLY getting to my question...promise...please stick with me...

My temps rose a tad bit yesterday and today.....if they rise again tomorrow, FF will give me an "o" date of Monday (the first + on the OPK). Well, if I O on Monday...why did I get a + on the OPK on Tuesday? Is this common or does FF maybe have the date screwed up?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Please take a look at my chart and tell me what you think....HONESTLY!!! http://circles2.fertilityfriend.com/home/1d0f5

Thank ladies. *********Baby dust to us all!!***********

Hello Shawn,

I just started using OPK's this month. I can't really answer your question but FF gave me a different O date then when I tested positive on my OPK's. Then again maybe I did read the test wrong. But at the same time I when I did test + for the opk's I did have watery CM too and good CP. Have you tried the expert advise and see if any one can shed some light onto the situation for you? If your account is set up right you could send them your chart and they will email you when you have a responce. Plus I am sure that someone here might be able to answer you question too. GL and keep us posted I wouldn't mind knowing the answer to that question either.

I have used OPKs for quite a hile and my understanding is that after you get a positive you shouldn't bother testing again. It doesn't matter that you had a positive for a second day in a row- the first one is the day that counts.

Best of luck to you.
