I know right? I can't help but think.. Here we were trying so hard for so long to NOT get pregnant, now here we are a couple cycles in trying to get pregnant!
That's a good question about the OPKs. Has Google given you much help on the subject? My surge lasted almost 3 days before it turned negative again. Technically you are supposed to stop testing with OPKs after your first positive so as to not confuse yourself, as you can get positives for a few days I guess. Are you counting your DPO from the first positive you got? Also, are you BF'ing your daughter? I know that that can make your cycles funky as well.
At least you know that you guys are indeed fertile and have no problem conceiving, it's just getting the sperm and egg to cooperate!
Hah, I know that's how I feel. It's weird to think that now we are actively TTC now lol
I've kind of googled it and got mixed answers. Some say that their long surge meant that they released TWO eggs instead of one and other say that it could mean that you're trying to ovulate but your body never actually releases an egg. I was going to stop testing a day or two after I got my first positive but my OPKs just seemed to never get light lol. Or, if they did get lighter, the next morning they were dark again. I am counting my dpo from May 21 as the day I got a positive OPK stick and a positive digi. But when I tested again a day of two after that positive, I got a negative digi but a dark positive OPK stick. Soooo yeah lol. Not really sure at all what happened!
I'm not bfing my daughter

Haha I wonder how fertile we actual are though...we have had MANY accidents in the past that should have led to me being pregnant but didn't lol. So I just wonder if we got really really really lucky with her
