confused over opks: positive on day 29 and then day 53...

[Webby]

Hi All,
I'm not looking for answers but for people to maybe share their insights on similar experiences.
For reasons I won't go into, my husband and I were told we had to start trying for a baby straight away if we wanted kids.

I came Femodene pill in February and got my withdrawal bleed. I started using digital opks and got a positive on 29. We bd'd before, on the day and the days following the test. I did start experiencing symptoms a week after of sore nipples, cramping etc. but have read that that can also be a sign of your hormones getting back into place after coming off the pill.

After two BFN I randomly started using OPK again and I just got a positive on day 53 and 54. Has this happened to anyone else? I'm wondering if I did not ovulate the first time? I've started temp charting now so I will hopefully be able to know whether I've actually ovulated this time round.

Hi, yes it could be that your body geared up to O the first time but for some reason it didn't happen - so now it's trying again. Would definitely recommend temping so you can track what's going on moving forwards. Otherwise some people get positive opks when pregnant, have you tried a hpt recently?
Good luck x

Thanks so much for your reply. I'll definitely keep on with the temping. I'm fairly new to the temp charting so am I correct in thinking that my temperature will stay high if I've ovulated?
I took an hpt yesterday and it was negative so will see how things go this time around...
