Question

Having trouble with my opk smiley faces! Breastfeeding, no periods, but TTC

I am currently breastfeeding but have just begun ttc for the second time. I am tracking ovulation with opks and got a solid smiley 5-16. Had no period then got another solid smiley 6-12. My opk is suppose to flash a smiley two days prior to ovulation and the hold the solid smiley for two days straight, however I was curious so I tested for ovulation on 6-13 using an extra test. I received a flashing smiley for 6-13 through 6-17. I took two tests on 6-18 with fmu and one had a solid smiley while the other had nothing. I am so confused. I have not had my first period since my c-section on 12-12-13. Am I really ovulating? If so how many times can you possibly ovulate without having a period after?

You can't. If you're ovulating, then you will have periods. An opk just detects the lh surge, not that you're actually releasing the egg. Since you're bf & haven't had your first post partum period yet, you're prob not ovulating yet.
