Keep testing. If you get a true positive within the next two days, stick with the attempt you had. If it's 4 or more then please have another attempt. If it's in that no man's land of 3 days, either use the rule of thumb "for best chance of pink, stick with the attempt, for better chance conception add an attempt" or flip a coin if you really can't decide.

So I had positive opk and also a positive clear blue at around 4pm today so roughly 43 hrs after my attempt so I'm guessing it best to leave it at that?

I generally recommend sticking with the attempt in this case but it's up to you, just use that rule of thumb "for best chance of pink stick with the attempt I had, for best odds of conception have another attempt"

Hello, unsure of what to do......so I had what i thought was a line on my opk on Sunday evening so we dtd but it seems like the next day and the day after that the line was getting stronger and stronger and even today there is a dark line do you think we bd too early, I'm a little worried that adding another attempt in will lower my chance of having a girl would it be best to just leave it at that and see what happens?

I'd have an attempt today. You are far enough from your previous attempt that it will still be one attempt. Conceiving from that far away is impossible, please have another attempt!

I have just done another opk test and the line has faded quite a bit so does that mean I have already ovulated, I have looked at all the opks together as I took a screen shot of them all and inwould say my darkest line was last night so roughly 48hrs after my bd would you suggest to still have another attempt or chance it and leave it at that for this month?

The rate at which your test goes negative does not tell you if you've ovulated or not. You can have tests that go negative and not have ovulated yet, and tests that are still positive after ovulation. The hormone being measured is not directly tied to ovulation in the way you're thinking of it.
You still need to have another attempt.

So af arrived this morning, I'm so annoyed as we couldnt get that extra attempt in due to have a bad throat infection so we only ended up with 1 attempt 3 days before ovulation, this month I am 100% going to make sure we wait until I can a true positive on ovulation stick, is there anything else that could help do you think maybe dh should avoid hot tubs and also we releases on his own very ofter either every day or every other day should I ask him to cut back on that.......we are both drinking coffee and alcohol that's something I would rather not cut out as that seems to sway he also takes OLE......I think that the reason we didn't conceive is probably that we tried to far before ovulation.
Atomic, this may sound crazy but I’ve been reading about moon phases… I have a ‘red moon cycle’ currently which I didn’t used to have. Meaning my period is coinciding with the full moon. From...
