Positive opk before period due?

This is my 1st month of trying since I had my first, and since I’ve stopped breastfeeding I’ve had one cycle so far which was pretty normal and what I would have expected.

Im using opks and this month got my positive opks on 18th and think I ovulated on 19th (had cramping on one side, cm was egg white). I then stopped opks from 21st as lines had gone fainter day after ovulation, and I figured that was our chance this month.

Today I’m 8dpo, and I woke up feeling really nauseous and later this afternoon got a bad headache and cramping on one side with a ‘heavy’ feeling like AF is going to drop any minute. I did an opk (or three!) in the afternoon as I thought I perhaps maybe I didn’t ovulate on the 19th and my body is trying again and they all came back super positive, like more positive than when I ovulated on the 19th. Pic below.

is this my body trying to ovulate again do you think, or can opks be positive when your period is due? my period should show up in about 3 days. I’ll do an opk again in the morning and track for the next few days, just wondering whether I need to get back on it with the hubs! (We did tonight just in case 😂)! If AF doesn’t appear by Monday/Tuesday I’ll do a pregnancy test anyway.

Butting in, how come LH peaks with pregnancy? I've seen it with other threads, isn't LH stimulating the release of an egg from the ovary? Wouldn't that confuse the body to produce it if an egg is fertilised/implanted?

Okay thanks. I’ve ordered some tests and they will be here tomorrow so will test when they arrive.

Ive done the same opks this morning and they are all still very positive. My husband is working up north today so doubt he’ll be in the mood after a 14 hr day so will just have to hope if it is delayed ovulation we won’t be too late to try tomorrow!

Did you get an answer?

Just wondering what the outcome was for you? I’m in exactly the same situation right now 🙃

I did take a pregnancy test and it was negative. So in my experience this was late ovulation - I’d had covid during my ovulation window earlier in my cycle so I guess I did ovulate late.

Hi, just wanted to let you know that I sometimes get an LH surge right before AF. I don't think I ovulate twice its just a surge and it can happen

Jellywellyfish · 08/11/2022 08:54

AF didn’t turn up until 10 days later though, so jury’s out on this one maybe

@Jellywellyfish that is strange, maybe you did ovulate twice then? I've heard it can happen x

NalaNana · 08/11/2022 10:13

When I had covid it delayed ovulation for me by about 2 weeks!
