Opk help?

[hgunes]

So me and dh last had sex Saturday night yesterday monday I got a positive opk (test line was equal to the control line) we both ended up way too tired to dance sp i have tested again today and the test line is now lighter which i guess means negative have we missed my peak?

Hi, it sounds like today is your ovulation day so I would definitely have sex again today if you can! And you did it the day before peak which is high fertility so I think you'd be in with a good chance 👍 Good luck x

Sorry just re-read.. you dtd 2 days before peak which still gives a good chance!

You're still in with a chance from Saturday but if possible do it again tonight to help chances further 😊. Peak opk is usually a day or two before ovulation and egg survives 12-24 hours so you're still in the middle of it all. Do you do bbt to confirm ovulation? X

No we have never tried bbt is a positive opk not enough to confirm? Sorry new to this as we havent been ttc since our last 9 years ago x

Don't apologise, everyone has to start somewhere. Doing bbt is completely up to you and if you want to add the stress to yourself but it does help.
LH tests just identify that you have peaked enough lh to encourage the egg to release however a raised temperature confirms the egg succesfully released. LH can surge without a successful release. You can also get bloods done to confirm this but I find just doing bbt helpful enough. You have to take your temp every morning at the same time after atleast 4 hours of solid sleep before doing anything at all, even getting up, talking etc. I won't lie I'm not 100% with those as I have a son who interrupts me sometimes lol but I've done it enough to see a pattern of my temps before and after ovulation x

I must add if you're getting the lh surges every month and regular periods you're more than likely ovulating it's just nice to confirm as and when it successfully happened x
