OPK + ?
Please help me understand. Yesterday was CD12 and I've been testing since CD8 with all negatives. So yesterday I tested at 1pm just like every other day and got a negative. Last night my O cramps were so bad that I tested at 930pm and got an instant dark positive. This morning I retested at 730am (about 10hrs later) and got a negative. The line was there but it was a tad lighter than the control line.
So did I already ovulate if it was negative this morning? I would've missed my surge if I didn't test last night...so glad I did.

You usually get a positive opk and then ovulate 24-36 hours after.

Re: OPK + ?
Does a shorter surge have a negative affect on anything?

Re: OPK + ?
Usually once you get a positive opk you stop testing. Sometimes you can pick up on the surge going up and then dropping if you continue to test.

Re: OPK + ?
A surge is exactly what it sounds like - your hormone level reached it's peak and then drops again. Once you test +, you stop testing. The 9:30pm was your surge and you should ovulate about 36 hours after that - sometime between Saturday night and Sunday.
You are completely normal. Good luck and happy  !

Nope not at all! My first time using OPK's was last cycle. I got a negative in the morning...tested by chance at 11pm at night and got a positive...re tested the following morning and got a negative. So I had a short surge as well.
We were pretty much every other day from CD10 and ended up getting our BFP!
