4 days of positive OPK?!?!
Ok....so I have had a positve OPK for 4 days now. The darkest the line was on the second day (monday).
Do you think I've O'd already???
How long have you positive OPK's lasted??
I'm only asking because I am so sick today and I really don't feel like BDing tonight. 
I'm not temping either.

Re: 4 days of positive OPK?!?!
I found this for you:
4. What if my OPK is positive for several days in a row? It is possible, in a normal ovulation, to have a positive OPK for several days in a row. This is because LH peaks (surges) about 12-36 hours before ovulation occurs, and then dissipates. So, you could theoretically detect this high level of LH with positive OPK's from the time it begins to the time it dissipates-- over 36 hours.
It is also possible that your body is "gearing up" to ovulate, and you have an LH surge-- and then, for some reason (such as stress, illness, travel, or random fluke), your body fails to release an egg . . . then tries, tries again ASAP with another, or overlapping, surge. If you see a positive OPK for longer than 3 consecutive days, your egg is probably just having a little trouble getting out of the starting gate. If this happens to you occasionally, it's no big deal. If it happens a lot, talk to your doctor. (I just play one on the Internet :p)

Thanks.
That makes sense...the only weird thing is I had O pains on and off all day on Monday. 
Even when you think it's lack and white....it's not.

Re: 4 days of positive OPK?!?!
I've been thinking about digital OPK for next month. They're expensive, but it might be worth it to have a clear answer.

Re: 4 days of positive OPK?!?!
I would view the OPK results along with CM...if CM has become dry then I would say you are out of the fertile period but if it is still EWCM then you are probably still fertile. CM typically will dry up rather quickly after O...TCOYF discusses this.

That makes me feel a little better because I did dry out. TMI
Thanks.
