Help from tempers please!!

[hoping42010]

I know I should be temping. But it looks so hard!! Can those of you who temp please tell me when you ovulate in relation to lh surge? I use opks currently and I know it says 24-36 hrs after but based on my cramps I'm sure I don't ovulate until 2 days after!!
So how soon after lh surge do your temps confirm ovulation? Please x

I get 2 days of positive OPK's and i either ovulate on the 2nd day or the 3rd day after my first positive OPK

Are you using a digital OPK? If so, this gives a great explanation of how they really work https://www.in-gender.com/cs/forums/t/235646.aspx
I started testing twice a day when I was a couple days before expected O. I caught the beginning of the surge and kept testing until I got a negative. I believe I O'd within a 12-16 hr period after the last positive test. I got a positive opk in the morning and a negative OPK in the evening, then the temp rise the next morning. Hope that helps!
to you ladies!

Thanks. So it's the usual everybody is different!! Can be hours or days. I think I'm not ovulating until 2 or 3 days after the first peak either.
Thanks for the link. I use the clearblue ones with the smiley faces.
