Ok this is so weird. Last month I didn't ovulate at all (confirmed by a blood test) And now I'm ovulating a second time this cycle?!
I am 11 DPO I have 21 day cycles and I have been having a lot of EWCM and my DH half jokingly said I must be ovulating. After laughing it off I started to wonder and had some extra OPK tests from earlier this month. So I tested and It was definately positive! And I know I ovulated about 11 days ago because I was using OPKs then too.
So is it possible I'm already pregnant or does this second ovulation mean I'm not pregnant or is that completely unrelative to ovulating twice? Could I concieve twice 11 days apart?!
I'm so confused! What is my body doing? NOW I regret not charting... ugh!

"Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength."
It didn't make sense or sink it for me at first either, but finally did sink in. OPKs are a secondary sign of ovulation while temperature shifts are a primary sign. OPKs only tell you that you had a hormonal surge, but the temp shift is what will tell you if ovulation happened (after it has happened). You could have multiple hormonal surges in one cycle but never ovulate which is why it's so important to temp.
Good luck. I'd hump it out if I were you just in case and then start temping next cycle.
I hope I'm not out of line for mentioning this but, am I right in remembering that OPKs can also detect HCG, and some people use them as a pregnancy test?
I would recommend a HPT just to cross check and make sure this is ovulation versus pregnancy.
ETA: Sorry I didn't see that you took a test this AM until after I already posted this.

This exactly. This happened to me this cycle as well.

Take an hpt. I know this is controversial, but I have heard of people who are pg and get positive OPKs. See peeonastick.com. Good Luck.
Alternatively, the PP's are correct, your body may have geared up to O, didn't and is now trying again.
This was my thought as well.

This is correct.
Not according to an epic day on the bump back in 2008, and I quote
"Are any of you guys using birth control while you're pregnant? I've heard of Irish twins (sorry if the term offends any of you I don't know the medical term) and actually know 2 of them and I'm wondering if DH and I should be concerned about it.
It's not that I'm not thrilled I'm pregnant, I just don't think we are ready for 2 babies at the same time."

This. And start temping! GL!
Unless your DH has diagnosed issues with sperm count, you don't need to have sex EOD. Every day should be fine.
And thanks for being level headed and realizing that you're more than likely not the 1 in 197,832,487,324 women who ovulate twice in a cycle. And really, most of the time, what happens is that two eggs are released at once, like with fraternal twins and this happens when eggs are released in rapid succession, or one from each ovary. When you start readinf TCOYF, you'll read that we don't alternate ovaries each month, but that the ovaries "race" to release an egg first. If they each have one ready to go, it's possible they'll both be released near-simultaneously. Once you ovulate, hormonal changes start to prepare your body for an embryo to implant, not for another egg to be released.

it's that in each life some rain falls but you also get some sun.
