Question

OPK's positive for 3 days

I started taking OPK's on CD 9. They slowly got darker and on CD 12 I got my positive .The test line was much darker than the control line. I test 3 times a day Mid morning, mid afternoon and in the evening. I'm going off my 1st positive but have still been testing and I'm wondering why I'm still getting positives for 3 day's . I'm sure I O'd the day after my 1st positive because my EWCM is gone this morning. Anyone else go through this?

Levels can stay elevated. Your body might metabolize the hormone slower. Are the lines still darker than the control line? Most hormone charts for women's menstrual cycles show that ovulation occurs during that lh peak. Once lh peaks you o within 12 to 36 hours. So you probably already ovulated but your body just isn't expelling the lh quickly. It might be helpful to test for a while in case it was a false alarm and your body didn't successfully o.

Yes ...the test line is much darker that the control. I'm testing 3 times a day..this is my 3rd day and so far my mid morning and mid afternoon are still positive. This is my 1st time using OPK's so I'm not sure if this is just normal for me ..I'm sure I already O'd cuz my CM is not clear and stretchy as of this morning..I'm going to BD until my opk's start being negative..I have a 28 day cycle (like clock work)..Maybe this is normal for me?

I always get 3 days, ignore the 1st day, count the two strongest ones as the two best fertile days.
