+OPK for 3 days?? Is this normal?

I got my first +OPK Sunday morning at 11am, then had 2 +OPK's yesterday and again this morning at 10am. Is this normal to have so many days of +OPK's? And which do I count - I know everyone says to use the 1st OPK but I've read mixed things on the internet.

Also, FF said on Sunday I'd O between CD18-20 (I was on CD18 on Sunday) and with each day that I added my +OPK it is now saying I'd O anywhere from CD18-22? I'm not sure what to think and DH is literally dead from FR so he doesn't think it's possible for anything more to happen for a good day or so (We BD yesterday afternoon and the night before)

It's not common, but I've heard of it happening before (not to me :)). You're just using the OPK to figure out the timing of BD, so always use the first +OPK and you should ovulate 12 - 48 hours after.

Luteinizing hormone usually surges right before O...BUT I know it has overlapped for some ladies. So that the start of the surge happens before O, but the surge continues right up to O.

I had that happen to me + OPKs for like 6-7 days.. I'll go check my threads and see if I made one about it.

And here it is:

I've heard it's common to do that on Vitex as well.. hence why you should hop off several days before you expect to O! :)

Mhmm weird! It happened to me last month too - I got 3 and then stopped testing so I have no idea how long it lasted and FF said I ovulated based on my temps. How else would I know this month that O is delayed or not happening? I did have a temp drop yesterday to the lowest it's been then a rise today in temp (not super significant but .3 degrees C both directions). Thanks for that thread butterfly spirit, crazy you had OPK's for that long!

And it's negative at 8pm. So it was more like a full 48hrs it was positive for as now there is no line.

Does this mean you ovulate before it goes negative?

Like anchor said as soon as you get a positive you will ovulate 12-48hrs after that, once it goes negative you have already ovulated
