Trouble TTC

OPK weirdness

Any thoughts on this?

I'm currently on CD19. On CD 16 I got my first positive OPK and fertility monitor still says High (I no longer get Peaks with that piece of @#$&). I continued to test with the OPK just to see what would happen. Well, I've now gotten 4 days of positive OPKs and CBEFM still says High. Don't the OPKs go back to negative after ovulation? Here's my chart: 

Also, at my first RE appointment Friday, the Dr. said that I would be ovulating from both ovaries any day. Could that affect the OPK?

Last, I was under a great deal of stress over the weekend (I handle health care issues for a Member of Congress) - could that delay ovulation, and thus I'm still waiting?

I just need some guidance here. Hubby and I are still going at it, but this is weird.

Re: OPK weirdness

  • OPK reads LH levels, which can surge before ovulation and even surge without ovulation.  Just because it's positive, doesn't mean that ovulation is 100% guaranteed. I would use OPK with charting to verify.  Your chart seems to show annovulation to me.

  • I took home ovulation kits the past 2 months.... the first month i never had a LH surge. The 2nd month I had a surge and 7 days later I had blood tests and the level of progesterone they showed were so low that there was no way I ovulated..... So I guess the home tests dont ensure ovulation.... it confuses me.
