OPK for PREG TEST?
I've had a hard time pinpointing my ovulation with OPK's. For 6 days now I have received HIGH FERTILITY on all my tests, and I thought I'd be ovulating by now. Not quite sure what is going on if my LH surge isn't strong enough for the test to detect ovulation or not. Thoughts on that??
Also I've been reading about women using their OPK's to determine their pregnancy during the two wk wait period. Does anyone else do this, is it recommended? Just is interesting to me seeing how women are 9-10DPO and using their kits and still receiving a + reading on them and ending up + on preg tests. What do ya think on this? Should I just continue to use my OPK's until AF arrives as long as I'm getting +'s or what? Input please:))

Hi bmobms, I too have had blazing + opk's in my recent cycles. I was advised to stop testing after the first+....With my research, I have discovered that the LH surge can be detected 1-3 days prior to the release of your egg.. Normal- Yes, Common- Not that often. Some women bodies will surge a couple days before they ovulate..I have personally decided to stop testing after my first thermal shift. Once you see your temp increase significantly, you know you ovulated the day before..I have also heard many women say that they received a + on a opk in the early days following conception. Hope this was helpful, Best of Luck with your TTC journey : )

Thank you so much for your input! So when should I stop receiving + opk's? I'm on day 7 of them and all have read high fertility, it's just confused me I suppose bcuz I thought I was only suppose to have a 5-7 day window of fertility and then ovulate. I don't know of I would stop bcuz I don't want to miss my peak, and I haven't been tracking my bbt, so I guess I'm just going in blind at when I'm going to ovulate.

Hi bmobms, you have already ovulated if it has been 7 days of positive test. My suggestion is to begin charting your bbt to ensure you can identify your temp rise for next cycle, that's when you know without a doubt that you have ovulated ... Only if you have not conceived ; ).... Baby Dust to you!

Well I hope so. I had strong positives the other week then it went negative for a week now its really strong positives again, even with no holds. I have never had that happen. I tested with HPT but I got what I assumed since its early. I will just wait a bit and see what happens. Fingers crossed this is my month.
