How long is your LH?

in Trying to Get Pregnant

In the past, when I've gotten opk's, they've been positive for about two days. 

I had a + last night, + this am, and now it's negative - barely a line.

Normal, or not normal?

    It depends. When I used to test twice daily (at 11am and 5pm), I've caught a surge (+OPK) on just one OPK, and I've caught it on 3. Getting two consecutive +OPKs in about 12 hours seems ery normal to me.

    Surges can last for 12-36 hours so getting positives for two days isn't abnormal by any means.

    Last cycle, my surge lasted just over 24 hours, which was longer than the time before that.  But I think that's normal.

    Last month my surge lasted 2.5 days (testing twice a day).

    I think this is what tripped me up.

    I test 3 times a day because I felt like I was missing it, then I had 2 cycles where I had 8 - 10 + tests (3 times daily), and then 2 months with no +'s.

    I think I felt concerned when it was 'only' + for about 12 hours because of the previous multi-positive days.  

    Thanks!

    When I read the post title I saw, "How long is your dh." I thought this was going to be a poll.

    Lol. We could certainly do that, but we should account for girth as well as length.

    I tested yesterday at 7am with FMU and got my first +, then again at 6:30pm and got a +, then this morning again at around am with FMU and got my third +.

    My last cycle I got positive OPK's for two days. Over those 2 days I took a total of 3 tests. (11am, 5pm and then again the next day at 11am) by 5pm the 2nd day it was significantly lighter, so negative.

    Oh ok I get what you're saying now.  I still wouldn't be concerned though, you may have only caught the last 24 hrs of the surge or it just didn't last as long as the other months. I think that's normal. This is my 2nd month using them and haven't seen a positive yet, so I don't know whether or not my 2.5 days is a pattern or just a one time thing. We shall see.
