Question

Can you ovulate twice in one month?

I am currently CD21. On CD13, I got a positive on an OPK. Because I am confused about my cycles, I continued to use OPK (mostly because I am always getting a second line--lighter than the control except for that day). Today, I got another positive on my OPK. (CD21). Has anyone ever had this happen before?

No, u can't ovulate more than once in one cycle. U can release 2 or more eggs within a 24hr period, but once u start producing progesterone, it stops all development of any other eggs. So, u either ovulated with CD13's positive opk and are experiencing a second surge, which happens more than ppl think, and usually right before AF. Or, u didnt ovulate with the first positive opk and ur body is trying again, also more common than ppl think. U should start charting ur temps daily so u can confirm O. Good luck! =))

Fairly sure that last cycle I ovulated once from my L ovary and once from the R. This is due to itchy-ticklish sensations I had at what seemed to me like my ovaries! This was combined with several positive days of OPKs. For me, I think this happened on CD10 and CD11. Though I've heard that any pain or positive OPK does not indicate the exact day, more like within 3 days of the symptom/ results. Unf, no BFP for me last cycle. But non-identical twins are formed from two eggs being released in the same cycle. Good luck :-)


5 years TTC. Endometriosis and adenomyosis. Surgery. 2 IVFs. No joy. Low ovarian reserve. Is there any real hope? DE IVF = next step. Much higher success rates, but so used to things not working, it's hard to feel too hopeful. Wishing others an easier time.

Thanks for the answers! I have been charting my temps every morning. The first time I thought I ovulated, my temp jumped from 97.2 to 97.5 and has stayed between 97.5 and 97.7 until two days ago, when it went back down to 97.1-97.2 This morning it was 97.09
