[HelenJ]

hello ladies,

how many days (or hours) before ovulation do you guys get a positive opk? and how many positives until ov is over?

I am now on day 12 and the opk is negative (usually ovulate on day 14)

From what I have read you get a positive 24-36 hours before ovulation!

I have a long cycle so I tend ov late, looking back at my sticks I got a +opk on CD 18 and was + until CD 20 after that opks went back to only the control line.

thank you so much ladies. I have been using the opks since day 10 and only very very faint lines (so negatives I mean) todayis day 13 and I usually ovulate on day14 so perhaps I will get a better line today is the afternoon the. est time to test?

i think they say between 2pm and 8pm is fine. I however get a positive very late at night around 11pm. So I made sure to test before bed. I got a positive 24-36 hours before ovulating (as i felt the ov pain) and 2 cycles I ovulated around CD13-14 (26 day cycle) so I am not opking now and just going to go by cycle days........risky? yes. calmer? yes. lol
