You can get false positives if you OPK test too soon. It's recommended you wait 3 full days from your last dose. So, if CD 7 was your last dose then you wouldn't want to test until CD 10 or 11.Quote:

Wow, that's really specific lol. So specific in fact that it made me curious enough to look at my charts. Until last year I hadn't OPK tested since I was trying to get preg with my youngest and he is 5! Turns out my stats are quite different when I don't just consider the last year! 50% of the time I O'd the day after my first +OPK (though it should be noted that there were a some cycles where my first test taken was + or I didn't test a day or two and when I tested again it was +... so there is some margin for error). Only 26% of the time I O'd 2 days after (that was a surprise!). 16% of the time I O'd 3 days after my first +OPK and, finally, 8% of the time I O'd 4 days after! Which got me wondering more about the last year and 33% of the time was the day after (same disclaimer above applies to these as well), 51% of the time I O'd 2 days after and 16% of the time O O'd 3 days after. Interesting! For some reason I had it stuck in my head that I always O'd 2 days after but that apparently is not the case...Quote:

Has anyone ever contemplated deleting fertilityfriend, deleting tapatalk, and signing off all swaying websites and just let mother nature decide your fate??? I've thought about it and would love to let go of this stupid stress! But I just can't bring myself to stop thinking about ttc! I can't shut it off lol!
I deleted tapatalk (again) the other day... I still come on the website however but its not as easy to just quickly check. Fertility friend isn't too bad as I just have the free version, I spent way too much time on it when I was a VIP while TTC#1 & #2 so I'm not getting VIP membership, I'm also not charting anymore as it is too stressful.Quote:

Yes! Both SILs didn't have to chart anything... They just used opks and tried once and got pregnant immediately. And both had boys -_- they're so lucky!!
Both my SIL got pregnant first go or had accidental pregnancies both got pigeon pairs [emoji58]
Down over Christmas one of them had to take the morning after pill. And here I am not even falling pregnant with IVF. [emoji17]

twointow, awesome to see your own stats! There is definitely a margin of error, but it's interesting to see how much variation there is between cycles AND over time. I haven't done the math on individual years but I can tell you that I used to O almost exclusively the day after, with occasional on the same day. I, like you, seem to O less regularly/less frequently the day after over time.
