Help! Am I too late?

My husband wasn't picking up on my advances yesterday or he was just too busy 😒. Am I too late to nab him for a cuddle when he gets back this afternoon? The last opk is the one I've just taken today & the second last one is from this morning & the others from each day prior to those. Was dark this morning but he's been out again! Disappointed with the last one but if ur supposed to ovulate around 24-72hrs after the dark line maybe I'm still in with a chance?

I looks very positive to me but best to check when you miss your period.
My sister got a positive test dark lines and all but she was not pregnant.

Isn't this an ovulation test rather than a pregnancy test?

Definitely worth a try!

Thank-you Thank-you

I just read this from AI (artificial intelligence not artificial insemination!)...Fertile Window:

  • The fertile window, the period when pregnancy is most likely, includes the day of the positive OPK and the day or two following.
I'll be like Casandra from Only Fools & Horses 😉

Definitely have sex just in case. But I thought that an opk was not considered positive unless the test line was as dark as the control line (or even darker). So I would assume this may be a failed attempt at ovulation. If it is, your body might have another shot, so I would keep using the OPKs too.

So 24-36 hours after the start of the surge I think? 12-24 after the peak.

You don’t need to have the strongest darkest opk to prove you ovulated. Unless you’re testing every few hours you might not catch it, doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. Sometimes my peak is overnight. I get ovulation pain ever since my ectopic which is handy for reassurance but annoying for functioning.

long story short, you might still be in the window def go for it!

Surely it was quite obvious the OP was asking if she had likely already ovulated as she mentions OPKs with pictures and mentions ovulation. So she was asking if it was worth having sex or if it was too late to catch ovulation.

Don't be waiting on your husband to pick up on your advances if you are both in agreement that a baby is what you want!! Just be upfront and tell him, don't waste precious time😊 Definitely still a chance, but always helps go get the days ahead of ovulation too.
