Ovulation test
Is this a positive ovulation test?

I would say it's very close, I'd attempt tonight but keep an eye out if it goes negative again (within a few minutes or hours) Lately we've been having people have a false positive test for a few minutes or a couple hours that then goes negative again, that is NOT the true surge and then they ovulate a few days later for reals.

Thanks. This was from Sunday morning. We BD’d Friday night, Saturday night and Sunday morning. I tested again today and the lines seemed a little lighter. My husband is working out of town, so this was the best we could do while I visited him over the weekend. We’ll see what happens...

Sorry for jumping on this post from the past, how do you know if its a false positive? Last month I got a positive opk at 5pm and by a few hrs later the test line went back to neg, no cramping or cm either so I would have thought thats when I ovulated but from the above message cos it was few hours later is should have been a false ? Sorry if im getting confused, I dont get it

The unfortunate answer is, you don't.
You can have a positive OPK for only a short time that is a legit positive. You can also have a positive OPK for days even that is inaccurate because you surged and then your body decided not to ovulate. A surge does not necessarily mean ovulation, so it's possible to get a surge and then not ovulate. It's also possible that because your body uses LH for many things, you can get a positive test for a short time that isn't due to the surge. OPK are somewhat annoyingly unreliable but unfortunately they're all we have.
So happy for you Treens, congratulations Sent from my SM-A225F using Tapatalk
