Finally!

[Marini_Mare]

got a definite + OPK around the time I should started taking Vitex at the beginning of this cycle (3rd since BCP), happy I got a positive I don't have to question line closest to blue is control line

day 2 (cd25)


which day is 1dpo?

 

[dfavbaby]

After my + I test until neg and take that as 1dpo

 

[Marini_Mare]

how long do the +s usually last for? both of these are about 24hrs apart

 

[dfavbaby]

Mine last about a day. It hasn't gotten any lighter?

Some girls take a couple days to go back neg.

 

[Marini_Mare]

got another + today, same time (about noon) looks about the same...

An LH surge can last 24-72 hours depending on your cycle... THEN you ovulate 12-36 hours after that.

If your first positive test (Aug 27th) caught the initial LH surge then you are just 48 hours into your surge which isn't necesarily abnormal... When I get a positive I actually test 2-3 times per day during the surge to make sure I can see when it's negative. Best to test between 10am and 8pm so I test at 11am, 4pm, and 8pm during my positive LHs. Then I just stop once it's negative.

But I've only been using OPKs for a couple of months so I'm still trying to work out my cycle pattern. I'm cross referencing with BBT so I could see when I did ovulate for sure according to my positive OPKs.

Sounds like everything is still normal - keep testing! And BD like mad
