Is it OK to get a :) on only one day?

I feel so out of wack!

My cycles are usually about 31-32 days long and I usually O around CD 19-20.

I got a smiley yesterday A.M. on CD 16. I found it odd so I tested again when I got home from work and No :)

This A.M. still No :). These tests are pretty accurate right?

Because this is my last chance to conceive before DH leaves for 4 months, I pulled out all the stops and drank Raspberry Leaf tea, grapefruit juice, and Mucinex. Now Im wondering if any of that screwed up my cycle. Ive never O'ed as early as CD 16.

So my questions is, has anyone only gotten a :) for only 1 day and if so when would you consider your O day?

Thanks ladies!

i am not sure bc once i got a smiley I stopped testing. just wanted to say good luck!

the tests tell you when your have your LH surge... you should O in 12-36 hours... ive never continued testing after getting ...

Re: Is it OK to get a :) on only one day?

Some months I got a smiley 2 days in a row and some months I only go one. It all depends on when you test and at what point you are catching your surge. I'm gonna say that since you got a smiley in the morning and then didnt in the afternoon that you probably tested at the end of your surge. You will probably O sometime today or maybe even did late last night.

The tea, grapefruit juice and mucinex should not affect your cycle.

actually OPKs really are not that accurate at all. they arent like HPTs which have been perfected for decades. OPKs are still a relatively "new" product and they test for a hormone that typically fluctuates. so first, they arent entirely accurate. many people ovulate regularly and dont get smileys. and secondly, a smiley only one day isnt unusual if you have a short surge.

good luck!!

I tested last month and only got a on one day CD25. This month I tested on CD19 and got a . I then tested again on CD20 with fmu and again a 2 both had . The next day nothing.

Re: Is it OK to get a :) on only one day?

totally fine! half the time i get no positive at all and i know from temping that i am Oing regularly.

OPKs, pshhh don't let them get you crazy.

Re: Is it OK to get a :) on only one day?

Yes, you could just have a short peak. Sometimes I've gotten a peak one day and a light line for a few days.

Re: Is it OK to get a :) on only one day?

I have only used OPKs 4 times. The first 3 I got a smiley for 2 days and this month I got it for only one. I tested at night (neg), the next morning (positive) and then again in the evening (neg).
