Hi! So I have 3 days of Positive opks? My SO and I DTD the day before the 1st and also every single day (about 24 hours apart due to schedules) of the 3 Positive opks. Today I got a negative?
Is that normal to get 3 days of them? Just wondering if that has happened to anyone else?

This is the internet. Say sex, again, we're all adults.

Maybe we should start saying "if you're old enough to do it, you should be old enough to call it sex"
Also it is just a common abbreviation that I have seen used and have used on other boards. This is the first time I have ever encountered anyone taking an issue with it.
I did a little more research myself, and found out its pretty common. But thanks for the advice.
And in reference to your earlier response about my reply to Jag. It was rude of anyone on here to troll me about my terminology. As I stated in the reply above, it doesn't change the answer to my question so I don't know why someone even brought it up to me. I won't be polite to people that are obviously nit-picky and not.polite to me. If you don't like that, again, I strongly encourage you to move on from the post

Yep! They are where all the generic medications are in the dollar store. Sometimes they are hidden. They are usually in a pink or white box.
I bought them by the boat load. Haha! Cheap and they worked for me so, if no BFP this month then I will keep using them!

We use abbreviations to shorten words we have to say a lot. Cycle Day becomes CD, days past ovulation becomes DPO. Sex is three letters. We don't need an abbreviation for it. We don't need a code word to be "modest" because we are adults, and sex is a major part in becoming pregnant.

No one was trolling you sweetheart. You assumed she had a bitchy tone but I don't see that she used her bitchy font. Two things to consider/remember when you are participating in an online forum:

The thing is, when you come in and ask a repetitious question without taking the time to lurk, it rubs us the wrong way. It's almost like you're saying "I am too important to take the time to do basic research myself and my questions should be answered immediately" - whether this was your intended thought process or not. Remember, this is an online forum, so even if you have the best intentions, it may not be inherently obvious to the rest of us. Let me tell you my story so that you know that this is coming from someone who was more or less in your shoes not that long ago.
I got flamed. I never knew I could be so angry at a bunch of anonymous people on the internet! I dug in my heels and I got defensive. I thought "these women are bitches" among some other rather nasty thoughts. It took FOREVER for my thread to die. Or at least it felt like it. Instead of leaving, which I contemplated, I decided to lay low.

I had a sort of similar situation @missteacherlady16 ! It wasn't here, it was a long time ago in the Infertility board. I had JUST started getting active there when I found out about a BFP. Wrong place to announce it. I was Roose Bolton'd and flayed alive. Definitely learned my lesson and in retrospect, I definitely did not handle that appropriately. I had been trying just as long/has the same issues as those ladies but they didn't know me! But I apologized, deleted my post & moved on. The TB ladies are awesome, full of snark & the most supportive I've ever seen! You just can't ask for support and not give it, everyone here is going through a hard journey.
Second thing, I used the First Response OPK & once I got a YES+, I stopped testing. So I get confused when I see folks test for more & get positives for like 3 days in a row or however long. I haven't seen a lot of folks use that brand, I have to buy another this cycle.. Maybe I'll get the clear blue (not advanced?).

I actually started temping this cycle, first time! And I didn't know about getting multiple surges until this board, however I didn't get my surge until CD23 & cycle ended CD36, so I'm fairly confident it was probably a true surge for that use. I'm excited to temp this month and get actual confirmation though. I asked my doctor last Friday the best time to use the OPK because I kept reading 2pm but she actually said 4pm was better. So I'll try that this round.
