Well, common rule is you *should* Ovulate 12-36 hours from your 1st ++ OPK. But, that being said, you could have had a long surge, and you might not even O until tomorrow. Honestly, temping is the only real way to know if you O'ed, short of a 7DPO blood test to check your Progesterone levels. Fingers crossed you caught that egg!

So just because you get a positive opk doesn't mean you ovulated? Ive tested since yesterday and all are negative...

Sounds like you BD'd in time girl, as long as you were still surging, that means your body hadn't yet ovulated, so you should be covered

and yes, just because you get a positive OPK, doesn't 100% confirm you will ovulate, it means you're body is gearing up to ovulate, but like AmeliasMum mentioned, the only way to tell if you have ovulated for sure is if you have bloodwork done...I wouldn't worry much about that, the majority of the time that women do get a positive OPK, they will ovulate within the next day or 2.

GL!!
