I'm so confused about OPK results.
| Fri, 09-26-2003 - 11:05am |
This is my first cycle off bc pills, so I'm not 100% sure of how long my cycle will be. Yesterday was cd 12. Except for very little EWCM, all signs indicated O is coming soon (saliva and CM are both ferning, CP is high & soft). Yesterday morning OPK was +. This morning, OPK was -. There was still a line, but not as dark as the control line. I took it at the same time as yesterday. Temp does not indicate that I've alread O'd. Why isn't today's + too? I'm at work today so I can't check ferning until later this evening.
Has this ever happened to anyone? Even though the OPK - now, is there still a chance I will O soon? I don't get it! (sorry for the whine). These OPK's are a major brand (can't remember offhand what it is, but I know it's not one of the cheapie generic ones).
Thanks!

I have three comments: First, they say that after your positve OPK, you will probably ovulate within 48 hours (12-36 average), so you will probably ovulate today sometime if you haven't already. Second, your temp may not rise immediately. I think most people see an increase the day after O, but it may not be much. Others take a little longer to see the temp rise, so don't worry. Third, I think they say afternoon is the best time to take the OPK. Mine said 12 pm to 8 pm. I think the am urine is not as good because the hormone is usually release in the am and takes a few hours to reach the urine. So you might take another one this afternoon.
So it doesn't sounds like anything weird. Everything sounds perfectly normal. I hope you are BDing like crazy now to catch the eggie! Oh and keep BDing a few days until you definately see the temp rise, just in case you are one of the people that O's later after the + OPK.
Good Luck!
