Ovulation *Confused Face*

[LainasMummy]

Hello , ive ive just joined and posted in the introductory threads.

Heres my dilemma....

I have a daughter who is 4 and after her birth i had the contreceptive coil inserted (copper 7).
In November 2008, we decided that we were ready for another baby so i had the coil removed. So we were not trying , but also not avioding it i just thought it would happen in due course.
However 2 and a bit years down the line and ive not fell preg

I have PCOS but as i fell for my daughter i thought that it was not really an issue. and that if ive had 1 then i will have another?!?!

So now i ve seen the doctor who has refferred me to a gynocologist in march and we are now FULL ON TRYING , DEFINATLY NOT AVOIDING! lol.....

I brought my 1st clearblue digital ovulation test and started testing on day 11of my cycle which was the friday before last (21st). I detected ovulation Yesterday on day 20 of my cycle so of course me and my partner did what was nessassary lol.... so today i thought i would take another test to see if i was still ovulating (as it says on the packet that wen you detect ovulation , you ovulate for 2 days after that) but now it says im not ovulating?!!??!?
what could this mean? that i only ovulated for 1 day?? im really confused!!!

Sorry for the big essay , jus wanted to give as much background info as possible ... hope it makes sense?!?!
i would be so gratefull for some advice

Thanks

Hey, some people only have a short ovulation phase, going by this first opk + you will ovulate in the next 24-48 hours so if your surge is no longer showing i would guess that you have already ovulated as long as you dtd then you should be fine

Yup, lupinerainbow is right, some people only get one 'positive' day, it's perfectly normal as far as I know - the surge only lasts for a short time, then ovulation occurs 12-36 hours (ish) after that. Ovulation occurs only on one day - it's the LH surge detected by the ovulation tests that can last longer (I usually get 2 in a row, but as I said 1 is fine too).

As long as you make sure to BD until you get a positive (and perhaps for a couple days after that just to cover all bases), you should be fine. Good luck

Could it mean that an egg was fertelised last night and thats why im not ovulating anymore??

 

[Elhaym]

If you got a positive yesterday, you likely ovulated today or will do very soon. If you BD yesterday you will be fine as sperm can live for at least 2 or 3 days in the uterus, so they were hopefully there waiting for your egg!

Maybe BD tonight to make sure

You don't need to keep on testing after getting a +opk and having a +opk on the second day doesn't mean you haven't ovulated yet. You could just be getting the surge on the way back down if you know what I mean. There could still just be enough LH in your system to turn it positive after the surge has taken place.

As long as you had a positive then you're most likely going to ov in the next 12-36 hours so it's best to make sure you do it on the day of the +opk and for another 2 days after.
