Three days of + OPKS!? Whats going on?
| Mon, 04-27-2009 - 10:21am |
Has anyone ever gotten + OPK results three days in a row (VERY dark positives- not questionable at all)?


Hi! I wanted to respond to you because the same thing happened to me this past cycle (you can see it on my chart).
I use the digital OPKs and got a positive three days in a row. I was expecting to get my first + on a Thursday, but it didn't come until Friday night. It was still + on Saturday, and then again on Easter Sunday. By the time I tested on Monday (I was pulling my hair out) it was finally negative.
But in terms of what it means regarding my actual O date, I'm still confused. I was missing a couple of temps for earlier that week, and I think it threw off FF. At first, I got CHs for Friday, but I don't think I Oed on Friday, because I didn't get the + until 9ish at night. My temps seemed to indicate that I O'ed that Monday, after the last + OPK. OK, fine....then AF arrived 4 days early. It would have been "on time" had I O'ed on Friday. So, my O date was either Friday, with days of + OPKs following, or Monday, with AF super early. Basically, I'm confused by it and while I think I O'ed on Mon, I know that it would have been more clear had I temped every single day.
Sorry to go off on a rant, but I guess what I'm saying is that I know the frustration of when something like this happens and then you can't really make sense of it. I just know that multiple + OPKs for days are pretty common, because I posted about it also while it was happening to me. I guess it depends on when you test. My surge was probably only 48 hours or so, but I happened to test 3 times within that time frame, so they were all positive. I think the more temps you have, the clearer things will be.

Thank you, thank you

Forgot to ask after looking at your chart- do you normally have a 33 day cycle?

Hi! My cycles range anywhere from 29-35 days, and I would say usually in the low 30s (32 or 33). I never really kept track before we started TTC, but I did have a couple of VERY ultra-long cycles within the past year or year and a half. Now I think that those were anovulatory cycles, and sure enough I recently found out my ovaries are cystic. If I do officially have PCOS, that would explain those long cycles.
This month will only be my third charting, so I guess my average cycle length, luteal phase and O date still remains to be seen, but I think so far its been pretty much typical for me. As for this past cycle, it's very strange....I had a 32 or 33 day cycle, but my O date is in question. If I O'ed on Monday, which I honestly think I did, then I had a short luteal phase and AF was on time. If I O'ed on Friday, which FF originally said, then everything makes sense...except that I continued to get + OPKs for days after that. I'm very very very confused, and going to the doc next week to discuss.
This cycle I'm also using the fertility monitor. I'm very interested to see if it agrees with the OPKs.
Oh - and I also had many many days of EWCM during my last cycle!!
