Is this OPK peak? Or not quite?

It's been a while since I used these and I can't remember whether it's bleeding obvious when it's positive or still a bit of a punt. Any thoughts? Top one 10am bottom one 3pm.

Also how long after a positive do you ovulate?

Some might argue that you're not quite there yet, mine will never get stronger than yours in those pics.
It depends, I ovulate quite quickly (around 12-24 hours), for others it takes up to 48 hours. I'd definitely dtd to be on the safe side.

Thank you. I've done two more and barely a line anymore so no idea if that changes the context for the earlier ones. I know temping is the only definitive way but my DS wakes up through the night so I don't know when I would temp.

This is the 10am one, in this light the LH line has a line within it that's as dark as the control, so assume it is probably positive.

I hope this is peak. Any later and looking at too short luteal stage.

It sounds very normal. LH spikes slowly and then drops very quickly. Temping would only give you the shift and confirmation after ovulation, so it's only accurate when it's too late to conceive (3 days after). Are you tracking your cm?
I think you're definitely in for a very very good chance if you manage to have sex tonight or tomorrow morning.

Thanks @NoCallerID Smile fingers crossed!

Everything crossed!
We dtd after my +OPK on Wednesday. Only once in the fertile window... also TTC #2 but pregnancy #3.

OP it looks like either you're very close to the peak or you haven't caught it because of when you're testing - sometimes the peak only last few hours and OPKs may not catch it. I'd definitely DTD and continue for the next few days.

Good luck to you! And sorry for your loss. It will be baby 2 for me too but I'm not as healthy or able to DTD as much as with #1, so trying not to get hopes up too much.

Looks pretty positive to me!

Fx and good luck
