Question

First positive OPK!!! FREAKING OUT lol

ok i have never ever had a positive opk. well i thought i did until i got the one i had today.
1.anyways i have PCOS and im wondering if it might be a false positive?
2. Hubby is at work till 5... we had given up on this month because my opks were doing a rollercoaster. so we bd last sunday night... took the test at 8.30 am today ( wednesday) how long would his sperm "survive"? should we still BD when he gets home?
3. if today is my positive opk then when do i start counting DPO?

Thanks ladies... wish me luck!!!

I would say BD tonight for sure!!! And even tomorrow 24-36 hours later, if possible. His sperm can last anywhere from 3-7 days inside you. Is today a High fertility or a Peak? If it is a peak, I would count today as ovulation day...

Yes DEFINITELY BD tonight and tomorrow night, maybe the next day too! You will ovulate within 12-72 hours of a positive OPK so I would probably count tomorrow as O day.

Becuz u have pcos, u do run the risk of having false positive tests, but u most likely would've started having them before today's. Sunday's sperm could still be alive, but not for much longer so definitely nail him when he gets home, then continue for at least another 3 days. As far as opk's go, u should ovulate 12-48hrs after the first positive. I would count tomorrow as ur O day, that falls in the middle of the average time frame. It could be today or even 3 days from now (or not at all), so just make sure to keep up with bd'ing until u notice ur usual post-O signs. Maybe consider temping next cycle, then u'll have an answer for sure!
Good luck! =))

Thanks Ladies, issue is i havent taken any in ine 4-6 days so i dont know if i wouldve gotten a positive yesterday too... Also hope its not because of my PCOS. i didnt drink any fluids with the tests so maybe thats why they were stronger than normal and its just my body playing tricks on me.
But yesterday i had ALOT of CM ( sorry if TMI) but like it was to the point where i thought i peed my pants... it was like watery but egg whites ish? i donno... is that a good sign?

There's no normal for positive opk's, some last for hours, some, days/week. Its the first one that really matters. If u had fertile fluid then ur most likely still in a fertile state so make sure to get busy and just hope for the best! Not much more u can do!
