Hi there.

I am TTC #1 and on Cycle 1. I decided to try the OPK by clear blue easy.

I received my first positive on the test last night and got another positive this afternoon. Is it normal to continue to get a positive. We BD'd last night and was wondering if I am about to O or actually O'ing? I have all the right CM and the twinges etc......I just get confused, because the box says the positive sign means you are going to O within 24-36 hours, but it has now been almost 24 hours since the last positive.

Thanks ahead of time for any help.....

Well, I dont know how much I will be ale to help you, but I will try. You could be still o'ing because you can for 2 days. And you didnt wait for 24 hours between tests, so its very possible that you havent o'd yet. I dont know if that helps.

Hi,

I use OP monitor and it gives you two Peak days, which is when you are suppose to "O". It says....Fertile mucus is important. High estrogen levels trigger the surge of another hormone (which is the LH). Ovulation normally occurs 24-36 hours after the LH surge. There is a chance the egg can still be fertilized for up to 24 hours after ovulation.

The cervical mucus will help keep the sperm alive, but if DH will be available tonight, you should BD tonight and even possibly tomorrow night.

Good Luck..Hope this helps!

HI there Kate!! I'm a Kate too!

I also had a BFP OPK yesterday and today, I think that the LH surge is 24-36 hours, so definetly BD tonight because I bet that egg has just popped or will tonight!! Also go ahead and BD tommorrow, my best friend swears that everytime that she got pg she BD 2 days after she had a + OPK, everyone is different!

Good Luck, looks like we're the same, I hope we both get BFP this month!!
