How many hours on average do you ovulate after positive OPK?????

[dollych]

Hi Girls,

I've been using the clearblue fertility monitor, internet OPK'S and clearblue easy OPK'S. Some say you will ovulate 24-36hrs after positive OPK and some say 24-48hrs. Some even say 8-36hrs after:think:
Does any one know how many hours it actually is?????.
Thanks x

Well the average is 24hrs. But it really is a range, because you can be catching the surge on the upside or the downside of a positive OPK...because you are only testing periodically (like once a day). PLUS it is different for all women - for instance I O'd approx 60 hrs past +OPK one cycle and approx 72 hrs past +OPK on another cycle, both confirmed by u/s. But I was testing A LOT, so was probably catching my surge on the upside.

It is different for everyone in every month!! There's no set amount of time, it varies wildly. I think the 8-48 hours range covers it pretty well, and then for most it ends up being something like 24-36 hours
