Ovulating TWICE?!!

[TTC5]

So the crazy POAS addict in me was released this evening. For some reason I felt the urge to do an OPK and I got an almost + WTH??!!

See my chart in my link, I definately did Ovulate and my CM today is really white and creamy.

I have pics if anyone wants to see!!??

Am I ovulating again 3dpo or is it true that OPK's can go + if you have conceived?

I know my tests faded out because I watched them (and this test was done not long after a subsequent wee, I tested with only a few mls... something told me to test :poas:

And now it is very very close to a + again!!!!????

[love being a mummy]

I read on that POAS site that OPK can turn + if you are pregnant.
I've also heard that people can O twice but it's rare.

[love being a mummy]

Releasing More Than One Egg

Occasionally a woman will release a 2nd egg within the same cycle. This normally happens within 24 hours of the release of the 1st egg. This is why it's smart to keep having intercourse for 1 to 3 days after suspected ovulation in order to conceive.

[TTC5]

Yes I have heard it too but 3dpo would it show then? I tested with opks up until yesterday and they were - and now this evening it is really dark!!!!!!

[love being a mummy]

Not sure about 3DPO.
Very confusing.
Do you feel l like you are ovulating ? Any EWCM or cramps or anything?

[love being a mummy]

POAS says

So an OPK will turn positive when it detects either - ovulation or pregnancy hormone.

[TTC5]

I have had fraternal twins with DD2..... uh oh.... and we DTD unprotected yesterday too thinking we were safe!!! I just assumed my twins were from releasing two eggs at the SAME time but maybe it was days apart... or maybe I am UTD.. ahhhhh it is either one or the other hey?!

[TTC5]

I don't feel like I am ovulating no not like I felt 3 days ago anyway! And my CM has clearly shifted to creamy lotion like.

[TTC5]

POAS says



But 3dpo would be impossible for any pregnancy hormone, right?

[love being a mummy]

But 3dpo would be impossible for any pregnancy hormone, right? Yeah

[TTC5]

So I am reading that LH is chemically structured very similiar to HCG and + opks can indicate conception as early as a few days after O... oh good golly!!

[TTC5]

Just charging my batteries so I can show You all!

[love being a mummy]

OMG really, I didn't know that. Where did you find that info?

[TTC5]

Oh now I am paranoid. What if i did not ovulate after all 3 days ago? The CBFM said PEAK, the OPK was + and my temps shifted to indicate but still, what if I didn't. I would so be in girl zone for sure I just know it :(

[TTC5]

OMG really, I didn't know that. Where did you find that info?

just google positive OPK 3DPO and I found it through there x

You did O 3 days ago :) Those Y spermies got the egg.

[TTC5]

It does look like I ovulated, hey? So what the heck is happening now then? Am I O'ing again lol? Gosh this would be my luck to get twins huh! Twin boys would be cool though ;) Maybe I wished a little too hard with the letter LMFAO!

[love being a mummy]

Twin boys would be cool.
Did you upload the pic ?
Not sure whats going on now, our bodies are such crazy confusing things.

[TTC5]

Yes I'd love twin boys cos DH says this is the last and IF it were a boy I just know I'd want a brother for him LOL :P

[TTC5]

took some with my phone but they are too blurry so waiting for my camera to charge ;)

[CapricornAquarius]

OMG TTC5, whats going on??

[TTC5]

Oh Capricorn, I have NO idea :(

I have an almost + OPK this evening!!???

Going to retest before bed maybe it's a fluke?!

[TTC5]

I am feeling so nervy now :'(

[love being a mummy]

Think positive thoughts hun xx Go POAS and see what the result is.

[TTC5]

This cycle has been well and truley screwed, LOL!!!!

[rainbowflower]

A pos opk could just be lingering LH from a long surge, it would likely be too early to be picking up hcg as that isn't produced until after implantation which happens at 5dpo at the earliest.

Multiple ov ALWAYS happens within 24hrs because after you have ovulated once the progesterone rises and it stops all other eggs maturing.

Last cycle I had 5 or 6pos opks in a row but ovulated on the second (i think) and have seen other similar charts on FF too

[TTC5]

But thing is, I watched them fade out.... right to a -.... why would I now get a strong line almost +, now?!!

[TTC5]

Ok heres a pic from my phone. Sorry it is blurry and so faint. MUCH darker IRL.

[TTC5]

Ok did two more and yep two more +'s. I think I am ovulating twice. I am at a risk of fraternal twins as I have had them before and they run in my maternal side. I better get one boy out of it if I am o'ing again and UTD! LOL

[love being a mummy]

FX for 2 boys for you then hun if you do conceive again good luck.
It's going to be a long 2WW and I bet it's going to feel like ages until your first scan so you can check and see if it is twins.
Will you be able to tell from your HCG blood test from the levels?

[TTC5]

Time will tell I guess.... I just hope I did O 4 days ago and not now.

[DoulaMama]

Hmmm..temps indicate you have ovulated but I would not be surprised if you are O'ing again!! Most likely not but you never know!!

[TTC5]

I did heaps of googling last night and although rare it is possible to O twice few days apart. We dtd last night JIC!

First of all, if it isn't totally positive, it isn't positive.

All that OPK tell you is the presence of the hormone in your body. So there are two possibilities at this point IF you had an actual positive, which it sounds like you didn't, really.

1)you had a fake o and your body regrouped and tried again
2)you released a little blurp of hormone that the OPK picked up on.

They are both equally likely...if I hadn't seen your chart I would say number 1 for sure, but you did def. have a temp rise. Personally, I think that since the test isn't positive, that is a negative test and you don't need to worry about it. Your body has naturally fluctuating levels of these hormones all the time and that is why the directions say to disregard tests that aren't darker than the control line.

It's too soon for OPK to pick up pregnancy hormones. 3 DPO is too far out for twins.

Thanks Rainbow, I agree with you 1 million percent.

If it isn't positive, then the test is negative.

Hmmm...not totally sure I believe that. I actually have a woman in my family who got pregnant with fraternals about 3 weeks apart. She actually birthed one baby and went on to birth the second baby 10 days later:)

[TTC5]

Oh yes I know it is far too early for pregnancy hormones (although would be nice if it wasn't lol ;) )

I will take your word for it A that I already O'd - :D

[TTC5]

Yeah there have been a few cases like that in Australia too!!

[atomic sagebrush]

Because your body released a little batch of hormones for some reason. The tests don't "know" whether you ovulated or not, they just pick up the hormones.

[TTC5]

If it isn't positive, then the test is negative.

Thing is they do look positive.... even DH agreed.

I hope this is the case, I was so worried I was o'ing now and my whole sway went out the window :(

[atomic sagebrush]

It can't be though, not this far past the first ovulation. Either the first O was fake or this is just a tiny surge of hormones that the test is picking up on (not a BFP though because it's too soon for that.)

[DoulaMama]

What's your CM like? It says your Cp is high, right?

[atomic sagebrush]

I hope this is the case, I was so worried I was o'ing now and my whole sway went out the window :(

Your temps are much more consistent with Oing when you originally thought you did. Temps are WAY WAY WAY more reliable than OPK.

[DoulaMama]

^^ I agree:)

[TTC5]

Last night it was really soft and high that it was hard for me to reach actually. I was also VERY wet and slippery.

[atomic sagebrush]

I did heaps of googling last night and although rare it is possible to O twice few days apart. We dtd last night JIC!

I have heard about this and not even the most expert experts agree as to whether this is possible. Remember the gal who supposedly had twins one who was conceived like a month into her pg? Some experts believed that the smaller twin simply had IUGR and the babies were conceived at the same time.

[TTC5]

Your temps are much more consistent with Oing when you originally thought you did. Temps are WAY WAY WAY more reliable than OPK.

Oh good this is what I needed to hear!!! What about cervical position and CM?..

[TTC5]

Last night it was really soft and high that it was hard for me to reach actually. I was also VERY wet and slippery.

Not EWCM but a mix of creamy white lotion like and slippery wet.

[DoulaMama]

From what you have described, it does sound like a really strong LH surge. I had a strong surge during a cycle when I was TTC my 3rd and it lasted for 4 days. I had EWCM for 2 days and had intense O pain for a few hours on day 2. My opk was + for 2 days after and my Cm was wet and watery but no stringy EW anymore. I'm pretty sure that I had O'd on day 2 of the + opk's. I think you have such great chances for this cycle TTC5:) :HH:

[TTC5]

Thanks DM :)

[TTC5]

Ok not going to stress over this any longer ;)

[XXdreaming]

wow this is interesting lol your chart shows you oed a couple of days ago, opk just picks up lh surge so you can get positives and not be ovulating thats why they recommend you to temp with opks, and I have read about how it is very rare for a woman to ovulate a couple of days later and even rarer to ovulate while pregnant (they say but they could be wrong sometimes they guess at things just because they feel like they have to have an answer instead of just saying I dont know lol) either way I hope you get your little boy :)

[carmella_marie]

my OPK's are almost positive every single time, no matter where in my cycle so I can't really trust them.

[TTC5]

Thanks XX.

Ok well I am stressing, I can't lie.

I feel like my whole sway has gone out the window the whole thing is SCREWED :(

I panicked and we DTD last night just in case, but DH did not have an energy drink and we have not really been on the boy diet since Sunday. No BSFs, No urals, nothing!
+ OPKs today still.

[atomic sagebrush]

TTC, I just don't think that's a true pos OPK.

[atomic sagebrush]

Please try not to worry, I still say that the temps are what you need to listen to and your temps are saying you Oed right when you wanted to!

It is not at all uncommon for me to stay soft cervix and have a lot of EWCM for a few days after I O.

[DoulaMama]

TTC, I just don't think that's a true pos OPK.

I agree.....Do yours usually get any darker? Mine are quite a bit darker than the control line while O'ing. They stay that way for 12 hrs and then fade out but.....I can still get a line like yours days before and days after. I personally would call that test +. I would think that you are more likely to have a test like yours, days after, if you had a nice strong surge....so I'm going to put some positive thoughts out into the universe for your boy!!!!~~~~
DUMP TRUCKS FULL OF BLUE DUST COMING YOUR WAY!!!!! Try not to stress! Just enjoy this 2ww! It could be the last one you ever experience!!!! xoxoxoxo

[TTC5]

Sorry the pic doesn't really pic it up damn, it is positive and as dark as my tests get, both equal in colour.

Ahhhh well I am going to ride this out hey, too much googling has made me sad thinking I have something wrong with me like pcos dammit! Google is not my friend!

[Cinss]

TTC5...Put...The...Stick...Down...!!!

Relax, breathe, look up baby names.... anything else to take your mind off this, and in 2 weeks guess what... you get to POAS again :)

GL to you, i think you had a really good sway this time.

[DoulaMama]

A really great midwife friend always tells me...."If you're not looking for problems...you don't find them". Sometimes all these "tests" etc really take away from our inner knowledge. Go with your gut. Do YOU feel healthy? Do you think this one test tells you that you have an issue? Probably not. I'd say you are most likely totally fine and you will have a baby by next year. Positive thoughts go a long way~~~

[TTC5]

Great advice DM!!!!!!!

Thankyou!!!


Ahhh where would I be without all you lovely ladies hey!!!!! MWA!

[CapricornAquarius]

Ttc5 hope your doing ok, it will all work out im sure.

[TTC5]

Thanks CA, out of my hands now hey! Surely I can't have anything like pcos though cos yeah I just don't think I do :)

[love being a mummy]

I agree.

[TTC5]

So I have my dr app tomorrow.

I did another this evening just to see if I still needed to go tomorrow or not and I got a a dark line in the test before the urine even hit the control line!!!!

Something has to be going on with my hormones cos this isn't normal. I am now 8dpo.

[CapricornAquarius]

Wow Ttc5 that sure is strange, i think your pregnant!

[TTC5]

I took a hpt today though, it was negative?

[rainbowflower]

very strange! after my long stint of pos OPKs I did do some research and found that high LH could be caused by something like PCOS or high prolactin- hope your doctor offers you some tests

[TTC5]

Yeah that is what I am worried about Rainbow!

[CapricornAquarius]

Hope you get your answer at docs.

[TTC5]

Thankyou I go in an hr xx

[TTC5]

Copy and pasting to save me re writing
Well that was a waste of time, money and emotion.
I saw a locom dr as my usual one is away sick, he made me feel like a complete IDIOT
Basically told me that nothing could be wrong because I have CLEARLY had children before. He said he wouldn't do any bloods either as I am only a week after ovulation (I am 9dpo today) and it wouldn't show yet, he doesn't do bloods until periods are late - WTF?!
I actually sat in my car and cried! :(

[Cinss]

Oh TTC5, im so sorry your doctor made you feel like that. My doctor also waits until periods are late and confirms with a pee stick before doing bloods. I know how hard and slow the 2ww is, but hang in there... some ladies get BFP's at 10 dpo, so maybe tomorrow you will get yours. Fx for you hun.

[TTC5]

Thanks C xx
My turn will come just need to be patient, would have liked to know what the go is with the opks though hey?

[Cinss]

Yes it would have been nice to get some answers today. If you are getting bfn's later this week and you go back to your regular doctor ask her if you can have blood drawn to check for luteal phase defect/hormone imbalance. That was something i just read about today here - http://peestickcrazy.piczo.com/progressionofopktoovulation?cr=1&linkvar=000044 You might be interested to read the last entry on this page and see what happened to fallenangel32.

[TTC5]

Off to read thankyou :)

[rainbowflower]

aww sorry to hear the doctor didn't help, they don't sound very competent if they don't know that fertility can change even after previous pregnancies! Probably right that it's too soon for blood tests, but there was no harm in asking..

[zanacal]

I'm sorry, that would have upset me too x

[auroara78]

TTC5,

In Sept, I had a cycle that I had pos OPKs (and I do mean the test line was darker than reference lines) for 9 days striaght after ovualtion! I thought I was going crazy, that my body was screwed up. I still do not know WHY it happened, but it just made me very stressy and agaited. So, after I get my first LH surge now, I stop testing OPKs cuz it drives me batty. For some reason, I just have extremely long LH surges that show up on pee sticks for a long time afterwards. Practically the only time I don't show + OPKs is right after perod and the few days before the first real postive OPK.

/hugs

I dont know why doctors are such shit heads sometimes....I never had a temp rise last month and didn't I ovulated and my doctor said "well if your cycles are 28-29 days regular, you are ovualting" I pointed out how my temps didn't rise and he said he dosn't believe in temping! GRRR

was hoping he'd give me some clomid "just in case" hehe, but that didn't happen...he was a complete bear about it

[atomic sagebrush]

auroara, get a new doctor if at all possible. That is substandard care (akin to a doctor saying "I don't believe in germs.")

[atomic sagebrush]

aww sorry to hear the doctor didn't help, they don't sound very competent if they don't know that fertility can change even after previous pregnancies! Probably right that it's too soon for blood tests, but there was no harm in asking..

I agree totally rainbow. TTC, I really hope you are in a better place right now.
