Frustrated! (ovulation/opk question)

in TTC After a Loss

So, as I mentioned on Monday, I got my first truly positive OPK Monday afternoon and Monday night.  The test line was darker than the control line, no doubt about it. I didn't test Tuesday morning but Tuesday afternoon the test line was very dark but just a smidge lighter than the control- figured it was negative. 

I assumed I would have ovulated yesterday and have a temperature spike this morning but no such luck.  Now I'm feeling really bummed out... was this a fake out or could I still ovulate today?  I have bad ovulation type cramps Monday so thought for sure it was happening soon. I know the package says most women ovulate 24-48 hours after a positive opk but I thought MOST women ovulated sooner than that. 

Any thoughts?   

Me: PCOS   DH: No issues

August '16-January '17: Clomid + HCG + IUI/TI = BFN
February/March '17: Menopur + HCG + IUI = BFN
April '17: Menopur + HCG + TI (due to too many mature follicles) = BFN
May '17: Took off due to cysts
June' 17: Menopur + HCG + IUI = Cancelled due to 8+ mature follicles
November '17: Clomid + HCG + IUI= BFN
December '17: Menopur + HCG + TI= BFP!!!! Due August 2018

    On the months I've actually gotten a positive OPK, I tend to O closer to 48 hours after my first positive, although it's not terribly consistent.

    You can get a +OPK on multiple days.  This cycle, I got a +OPK on two days.  The tests only detect the LH surge, not time the ovulation.

    Two months ago, I got a + OPK on Saturday and Sunday, then didn't ovulate until Tuesday.  We just kept humping until we saw the spike. Hang in there!

    My guess is, you're probably O'ing today. That, or you actually did O yesterday and there are other factors that are effecting your temp (even stress can do this). I know that when I'm expecting a certain temp on a certain day, it never works out like that. Spend your day relaxing and feel confident that you are probably just at the very end of your fertile window. Then next couple temps will probably give you your answer.

    Congrats on the first ever OPK+! What a great feeling!
