Fertile Days
This is my first month using OP Sticks. I got a positive reading Saturday, Sunday and today. Is this possible? Should we  tonight?
Thanks!

Huh, I don't know if that is normal. In my experience I have only gotten 2 postives OPK on the same day (though once I got it really late at night and then really early in the morning). I would just BD tonight to be sure....

Re: Fertile Days
This month I got a lot of positive OPKS as well. It looked like I had a positive Wednesday night, but I wasn't sure so I tested Thursday morning with the smiley OPK and got a positive. Tested Thursday night and got a positive. Tested Friday morning, because I'm obsessive like that, and got a positive. Then Friday night and got a negative. So theoretically I could have gotten a positive from Wednesday night to Friday morning. Not sure if it's normal or not, but it happened to me!!

This is good to know! I was curious how to schedule BD when getting a positive for so many days in a row. To cover all bases, we just BD every day for 5 days in a row!

thats pretty normal.
if its more than 3 days though you should def temp to make sure you are ovulating. the first sign of PCOS for me (besides erratic AF) was 4-5 days of +OPK with no ovulation, then a few days of -OPK followed by a few days of +OPKs again with no ovulation.

How would I know if I wasn't ovulating? I thought because I was getting AF on a regular cycle (since Dec.) that I was ovulating.

You will know you are ovulating if you take your temp in the morning. A rise in your temp indicates that you are ovulating.

It's usually confirmed at least 3 days after O though. That's why I use CBEFM and temping - CBEFM to predict O and temping to confirm O.

af and ovulation do not always go hand in hand

Re: Fertile Days
I was also going to ask if the test line was darker on all 3 days. That sounds like a really long LH surge. Try using the smiley face tests to confirm when you think the line is darker than the test line. The peak of an LH surge should really only last about 24 hours. 72 hours is long.

Yes. The test line was noticeably darker. On the 3rd day, the test line showed up before the control line.
I tested again this morning and I am not ovulating.
