OPK Confusion!!! Please help!!

This is my 2nd cycle using OPK's. I used the ClearBlue Easy Easy Read tests sticks last month but had trouble reading the lines so this month i switched to the ClearBlue Easy Digital Ovulation tests that show a smiley face when the LH surge is detected. 2 tests Monday had negative's. Tuesday at 10am was negative then the 5pm test had a smiley face but I wasn't sure if I had enough urine on the stick, i didn't have to go that much, the 9pm test was negative then this morning at 10am, 3pm and the one I just took were all positive. So basically one positive yesterday (with the not so sure i had enough urine) and all day today has been positive, I am confused, does this mean I ovulated today, which I know i shouldn't have a postive the day i ovulate or will I be ovulating tomorrow or the next day, I am so confused, am i missing something......help me.....

oh yeah, and the last 2 days I have had cramping around my left ovary area

Re: OPK Confusion!!! Please help!!

Why are you testing with the OPKs so many times?

You really only need to test 1x/day between 2 and 8 pm after having held in your urine for 3+ hours.

If you got a +OPK yesterday and today, then you're either ovulating today or will ovulate tomorrow.

Today was the first day I tested 3 times, usually i only test late morning and late afternoon but when the positive came up i got curious and am worried about so many positves.

Once you get the smiley, you can stop testing and get to business!
