Help! My OPK has been positive for 3 days now!

I don't know yet! If I was pregnant would the OPK stay positive? I was kinda wondering that but didn't want to say it. LOL

I haven't experienced that myself but I have heard of it happening - only one way to find out!!

I'm not doing cutoff or O+12 since it takes me a while to get pregnant anyway, plus I'm using RepHresh and I really want to get pregnant quickly. Monday we weren't able to BD because DH wasn't feeling well. We did BD last night, though. This morning I had EWCM and my cervix was REALLY high which made me think I was Oing this morning. But, now that I have another positive OPK I'm wondering if that means I haven't Oed yet and I'm still surging. I don't temp so CM/CP and OPKs are my only indicators of O.

Should we BD again just in case? I really want to get pg this month. I feel good about it, my pH has been nice and low and everything... Ugh.:worry:

Almost positive means it's NOT positive. Throw that one out. Your body makes LH all the time, only when it's REALLY TRULY darker than the control line, is your OPK positive. That was a "fade in" pattern where you get a darker but not pos test a day or two before the actual positive, and it's actually pretty useful for swaying.

Plus, it is TOTALLY possible to have a pos OPK for more than one day. Here is a link to a great page about OPK that explains this in more detail. http://www.peeonastick.com/opkfaq.html#3

I agree with Rainbow, you may have also possibly double Oed and had an extra long surge.

When in doubt, if you really want to get pg, ALWAYS DTD even if it's prob. fine not to. When in doubt, if you want to have the best sway possible and you don't feel good about it, then DON'T DTD, even if it's probably fine to go ahead.

I used cervix position and softness and cm to tell when O had happened - the change was sudden and dramatic, and I'm 99% sure I got it right. For the record, I used an OPK several days after O, and it was still almost +.

Here's all you want to know about using an OPK as an HPT!!

That happened to me last month. I think I might have ovulated on both sides.
