I have found that the surge, for me, drops off slowly so I often have a couple of days of nearly equal lines, a day of equal lines, a day where the test line is darker than the control line (positive for ovulation), then a few days of equal colored lines and then it gradually gets lighter. Sometimes I will get a few days of positive opk's. You can also check your cervical fluid and cervix opening to confirm that you are approaching ovulation. But charting your basal body temperature each morning is the easiest way to confirm that ovulation has already happened.

Also, you can have a surge and not ovulate (that has happened to me). And some tests are more sensitive than others.

But if you aren't already, check into BBT charting, it is a great way of keeping track of what is happening. Good luck!

Thanks wanderer! I was tracking my bbt but I was sick with a fever, over 100, the day before my positive OPK. Before that I was usually around 97.1-97.6 and the day after my positive it was 98.1 then 98.2 and today 97.9. Now I'm not sure if it was just slightly higher as the fever was wearing off or if it was from ovulation. I just hate the guessing game, great timing for the fever haha.
