Hey ladies....does anyone else have light ov stick results for few days before predicted OV date, then get a real dark line...then continue getting the darker lines for a couple of days?

I thought the line only got darker when you Ov'd and thought that only lasted one day at most??

Maybe Im reading them wrong but thats what I thought......Ive been testing since 15th march....got fairly faint from 15th to 18th....slightly darker on 19th very dark yesterday so thought yest was Ov day....then tested again twice today out of curiousity and also got another two dark positives....thought you only Ovd for one day thats all!!

We BD's from last sunday and will do for as long as poss until with AF shows up or BFP appears just incase ticker or body is out of time but just wondered ??

You do only ovulate once - usually 12-48 hours after your LH surge - but different people have different detectable amounts of LH (some people get faint lines all the way through their cycle, some never quite get a line as dark as the control etc.) It's quite common to see a build up just before you get a positive - have all the lines from the last couple of days been at least as dark as the control line?
 
The LH surge can be picked up for quite a few hours depending on the time you test each day. You can get a positive as soon as the LH surge happens then the LH is still at a higher level until ovulation occurs. Baring in mind your positive on opk is said to occur between 12 and 36 hours before ov then u may have a few days where it shows positive. (If you spot the surge at the very start and you don't ovulate until 36 hours later then it needs to go down again too) Last month and this month i had a definate positive for 3 days. But just make sure u BD when u 1st get a positive so as not to miss the egg and you'll be ok.
I hope that makes some sense to you hun. xx
 
Hi SM tha tests I did on 20th and 21st were as dark as the test line, weve BD since last sunday every evening....but I was really poorly on sat and we missed sat but bd yest morning and again about 6.30 last night ....so Im panicking a bit that ive missed it!! Grrrrrrrrrrrr..... Had lots of twisting on left side presumed it was Ov pains......just hope weve not missed important time!!! Also going to carry on for next few days BD'ing although not sure if it will make a difference as egg only last so long.....oh poo!! xxx
 
Hi Puzzle......sorry for repeating myself.....yeah weve been bd'ing since last sunday at night......strong pos showed up on sat but we didnt have sex as I wasnt well....did yesterday morning tho and last night just hoping his swimmers caught egg at some point on way down.....its just hard know from when you see a faint line indicating LH is hanging around to when exactly your going to ovulate so I hope I havent messed up this month!!! So am I right in thinking that because the Ov stick showed really dark on 20th and 21st that I could still be ovulating around now in which case missing sat might not mean ive missed out?? Grrrrrrrrrrrrr........xxxxxx
 
I wouldnt worry about having missed a 'session' when you consider that sperm can survive for 1-5 days or so therefore there should be enough around to hopsefully catch an egg when its released. I looked back in my 2005 Diary the other day and I had noted that we only BD'd 3 times with a few days between each session and we conceived DS that month so anything is possible....we are doing that same again this month (had 4 BD's so far since last Tuesday) and crossing everything that we might be lucky enough this time!
 
Thanks MD.....hopefully there will be plenty swimmers hanging around lol.....heres to a long ten days till I can test lol xxx
 
You should be fine if you were getting positives at the weekend - remember you'll get positive tests 12-48 hours before you actually ovulate so you shouldn't have missed it :) Fingers crossed for you! :dust:
 
Thanks SM I hope not.....cant believe how calm I am about it all......I think with what happened last month its made me not so obsessed and not let me get my hopes up too much as I dont want that horrible feeling of reality when AF turns up again.....if she does that is! lol! Also off to Drs at 5 for my treatment but Im also going to tell her about the pos tests etc and see what she thinks.....xxx
