OPK ?

I am new to using OPK's and had a couple of questions. I thought that you were suppose to get like 2 days of + opk's. I started using them about CD8. I took one about 11:30am yesterday it was +, then I took one last night about 6:00pm it was +. I took one today about 2:45pm and it had a faint line so it was -. Is this ok, I just thought you should have a + for 2 days. How long does a + last. So after the + I should ovulate about 8-24 hrs? Oh, plus I have no EWCM unless I have some internally and I just don't have enough to see externally, is that possible? Thank you do much for any advice.

You'll only get 2 positive days if you hit the beginning and the end of your LH surge. I just recently went through 6 days of testing and I only had 1 positive day. I also did not have any externally detectable CM.

Once you get a +, you should BD like crazy as you'll be O'ing in 12-24 hours.

Heather, I really think you are only suppose to get one day of + OPK. I got two days but was told that I probably caught the beginning and end of the surge (whatever that means). As far as CM, last night I asked about the same question and someone said that even though your CM is not external, you may still have some internal next to your cervix that will be fine. Like with me, I had EWCM the day before I ovulated but none the day I did. This was upsetting because we couldn't bd until o day. But, this lady told me that I probably had enough left over internally. I also just posted a question about OPK's that might help us both out.

Good luck
