OPK question

QzeesQzees
in TTC after 35

I just started testing with OPKs this cycle & I have 3 days in a row of positive LH hormones.  Is this normal?  When I look at other ppls charts, there usually is only one + on their chart.  Help, no clue on this one - it is all new to me :)  Your thoughts.  

Just an FYI - I have only been off the BCP for 3mths, so I do know my body is still figuring things out - although AF came normally the last 2 cycles.  Yesterday I did have my very first stretchy EW.

    What time of day are you testing? I can sometimes get 2 days of LH surge, because the first morning I catch the beginning and the 2nd morning, I catch the end of the LH surge.

    If I test in the afternoon, I tend to get 2 days. If I test in the morning, I tend more toward 1 day.

    Everyone is different. I had a positive opk for 48 hrs. Also some get a positive and don't test anymore. You'll learn what's normal for you.

    I tested this morning, Friday, with my first morning urine.

    Thursday I also tested with my morning urine & then again around noon.

    Wednesday I tested with my first morning urine & then again around 5:30pm.

    On Wednesday, the morning was questionable - so very close in color & then in the evening it was definately the same color as the control line.  This morning, the line showed up so fast & it was the same color as the control line.  I guess I can handle one more night of BDg... :)  Can't hurt at this point....

    I'm guessing from your chart you probably ovulated yesterday because your temp jumped up today.  They say it usually stay up for three days in a row to confirm that it's an ovulation temp shift.  But it couldn't hurt to BD tonight.  Coming off BC does some funky things to your body and sometimes can take several months before it figures out what it's "non-pill normal" should be so in the mean time it's best to keep all your bases covered.
    Me 39 & suspected PCOS, DH 42. Went off BCP when we got married in 11/11, seriously TTC since 3/12.  Six cycles of clomid = BFNs.  Suspected endometriosis & HSG showed both tubes blocked.  Sept 2013 IVF 5D transfer of two perfect embryos = BFN.  Started acupuncture and taking time off to drop some pounds & get healthier before FET in April 2014.

    I stop testing as soon as I see a smiley face.
