3 days of *almost* positive OPK's

rayofsunshine99

For the past 3 days my OPK's have looked almost positive but not quite there... and each time I think "tomorrow it will be positive"... and then it's not.

I'm starting to get worried that I won't O this cycle.  I know I'm only on CD 13 but I usually have a +OPK by now, and typically O between CD 11-14. (except on post-loss cycles, then it's later)

Has anyone else had this happen and then it finally became positive?  Or just had almost positives and not ended up Oing at all?

One month I had one almost positive and then days of negatives. I didn't think I was going to O, but temps said I did, I just missed the surge somehow. Also, I got a + on CD 14 and Oed on CD 16 this cycle. You're not out yet.

I feel like I'm in the same boat as you!

I have been using OPKs for 3 months now although I just switched brands.  I was using an off brand from the BX (military store) and everytime I tested it was always negative.  I'm honestly not sure it if is me or the brand but I tested for like 2.5 weeks straight both times and I'm having issues with my cycle.

I just switched to the First Response OPKs and I swear almost everytime I test it is almost positive.  I mark it as negative though since the box says that if it is lighter than the reference line that it is a negative surge.  After these are gone, I'm going to try the clear blue easy OPKs since there is no room for wondering if a faint line is a positive or if the faint line will get darker after 12 to 24 hours (since I will be able to see a smiley face vs a circle...no room for interpretation).

But I also know that something is off with me so I may not even be Oing.  I have only recently started temping.

That happened to me this month. It's only my second month TTC but last month i got my first + OPK on CD 13 and another on CD14 then i actually O'ed on CD16. this month i kept getting almost + till CD16 and only that one day. Just keep testing maybe try two or three times a day. GL!

I have had cycles where I get 2 full days of positive ones. Maybe your body is doing a slow surge, I would not worry I think you will o. Keep humping it out, fx for ya!!!!

I did that this cycle. I tested 2 times a day for about 3 days and all were almost positive, then the line started getting lighter. My temps show that I O'd, though. I guess I just missed it somehow. You may just be O'ing late.

I had similar thing happen last month where I got almost positive OPK's around my normal fertile window.  Then never got a positive and it began to decrease in intensity.  I had all the standard signs of O (EWCM, cramps etc) but I got very concerned because my temps were all over the place and never showed the standard shift.  I kept testing and finally ovulated on day 27 or something like that.  The more I thought about it, I realized that I was very stressed at work around days 12-16 and I believe I geared up to ovulate but my stress level got in the way.  

 Hopefully you will get your positive OPK soon and see a temp shift to confirm it if you are charting.

 This is me too. My temps say that I O, so I just go with that. I don't think I have ever gotten a true positive opk so I always have dotted cross hairs on my chart.

Keep humping it out. Try not to wait on the positive OPK. I hope you O & can catch it!!

I have heard of some women having really short surges,. I have also heard about women who get 2-3 days of positives.  This is why temping is so important.

I usually get positives for a day or two, and it will show up positive at all times during the day (meaning I get + with FMU, SMU, afternoon, evening... doesn't matter when I test)  Now I've been testing 3-4X a day and only almost-positives.  It's just out of the norm for me.
